Have you asked yourself this question?


Lately I have thought about selling my entire analog set-up:  Turntable, phono preamp, and vinyl collection.  It's a good system, but my digital system sounds good enough that I don't listen to the analog system any more.

For purposes of illustrating my dilemma, my system is as follows:

Analog system:  Linn Sondek LP12, upgraded with Lingo II power supply, Karousel bearing, and trampolin suspension.  Loci Psionic Tonearm with practically new Clearaudio Maestro cartridge.  PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp.  Plus, about 450 records, mostly popular stuff from the late 60s, 70s and 80s.

Digital System:  Metrum Acoustics Streamer (Roon endpoint) plus Metrum Onyx DAC.

Just curious if any of you have thought about selling your entire analog rig, because you don't listen to it.  What did you finally decide? Interested in your experiences.

I listen to a lot of music from '60s and '70s as well as a lot of contemporary music.. back in the '60s stereo was very big and a lot of the records made then put a huge emphasis on stereo separation. one thing about streaming now is a lot of that music has been remastered and sounds beautiful.. I never was a huge fan but the "Association "made some good songs and you will not believe the sound quality when streaming their newest remastered album I think it's the greatest hits. I use Amazon prime ultra HD
