As Zd542 mentioned ,you might want to listen to some records and make sure your OK with tics, pops,and surface noise in general.Because no matter what,,,you will be dealing with this to some degree.There are some records that will have nothing in the way of surface noise.Some records will be so bad you will refuse to play them, as it sounds like a hailstorm on a tin roof.That is the two extremes.I was brought up listening to vinyl and most of the surface noise(if it is not too bad) seems to be on a different level that is seperate from the music and does not interfere with my enjoyment.Do you have the time to search for good pressings and cleaning records,then brushing them for dust before playing them,and changing or flipping them every 16 minutes or so.I love listening to records,when I have the time.And Im glad I made the investment.
SACD vs Analog
Hi guys,
Need your helps.
I have SACD based system (EMM Labs SACD player + KR Audio) and I am very happy with with my system except of limited SACD catalog specially in jazz and blues. I am considering buying analog source. I have two questions :
1. Is analog source is comparable with SACD level of reproduction with budget of up to $4K total?
2. What analog source setup can you recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
