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

@o_holter I have a decent TT ( Brinkmann Bardo / Triplaner / Lyra Delos vs. NAIM Unitiserve w Pardo Linear PSU and Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC vs. Revox 15 ips half track B77 mk 3 w custom tube electronics, at that level….differences while very apparent are not a slam dunk in favor of any format. They each have virtues and weaknesses…..

obviously keeping investment and sonic returns balanced across the three formats is challenging…. and fun

In these format wars, i look for insights…. 

w respect.
