Thank you everyone for the detailed responses and discussions. For now I am staying with digital. In fact I just got a deal on a demo Innuos Zenith mkIII so I sold my Zen mkIII and moved up a notch and it was a nice jump which I am happy about. I am planning later this summer or fall to get together with a couple old friends who have TT and go and do some listening and refresh my memory with what is all involved. If its for me then maybe I will get an entry level table for a while and see if I stay with it, but now I am very happy with my all digital system.
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
