Has digital come close to or beat up analog yet ?

How about it digitals, how good are you doing out there? Let's talk 05 circuits and product and see who's getting it right for a change. Or are we going to keep turning over product and monies to support others mistakes. Yes we can call the mistake the next generation of product line. Yeah and then turn that product over until somebody gets it right. Now who might that manufacturer be, I wonder who's getting it right or close to it? Do you know? Please advise this old flaming fart. You know the match trick,remember?

Agree completely with Dvavc.

Quality of the product and set up is everything. Possible to get great sound with both formats, possible to get crap sound out of both.

Hey Mike, I'm an analog guy all the way (look at my system). Truth is though, bad phono, bad set up and / or bad cartridge and a high end digital and the roles can be reversed.

One of my best friends in my audio group has a CEC TL1X and an Audio Note 4X balanced. While his Aesthetix Io and Callisto are being worked on he is pinch hitting with VTL 5.5 (?) preamp.

Believe it or not, with that set up the digital is about even with the analog. When the Aesthetix stuff comes back the digital will improve greatly and the analog will walk away from it. I know this will be the outcome because until the Aesthetix was returned to be upgraded to latest, I heard this rig a hundred times.

Funny how much gear effects the end results.
