Madman! Digital vs Vinyl

Anyone out there who has a great vinyl setup and a great digital setup, try this!

Bring up Elton John’s Tumbleweed Connection Deluxe Edition on Qubuz for digital which includes Madman Across the Water and play it.

Then pull out your vinyl of Madman Across the Water and play it.

Please tell me which sounds better on your system and what you have for TT, cartridge and phono preamp.

I won’t bias the results by telling you what I think.

Thanks

It all depends on how the source was recorded and you need to spend a lot more on your vinyl rig to exceed digital results. That said I prefer well recorded vinyl! My vinyl rig is VPI HW-40, Pass x-27, Van Dre Hul Stradivarius. Digital is Denafrips Terminator Plus w/ Gaia.
