I'm currently digital only. Tube DAC, and tube intigrated but when I finish the move and can properly set up the stereo rack with my 40 year old preamp. I just recently purchased a turntable and probably will occasionally spin some of the couple of hundred albums I've aquired over the last 50 years and some new ones but digital is so more convienent. My biggest issue now is the cats. The albums either have to be stored behind glass or some other scratch proof enclosure which I don't currently own..
How many of you are digital only systems?
I currently have an all digital setup, streaming and stored digital files and ripped CD’s on my Innuos Zen mkIII via Chord Qutest to a PrimaLuna EVO 400i. I have been contemplating adding analog to my system, like a Clearaudio concept table. I am NOT hear to debate which one is better, so please don’t turn it into that, I understand the differences. How many of you are digital only? If you listen to digital as well, please tell me why. Is it because of sonic qualities or just the nostalgic reasons of spinning vinyl. I just don’t know if I want a turntable because it would be new gear to play with or if I think it has sonic qualities that I am missing with digital. I would have to buy new vinyl as I really only have a few of my albums from when I was teenager in the 80’s. Maybe I should just put the money towards upgrading digital components, even though I love my Qutest/Zen combo, I could move up in their line?? Am I missing something truly special in the audio world if I’m all digital? Thanks for your thoughts
