Dear @jerryg123 : ""  afford the studio time it was laid to tape and is analog...""

There is where starts the analog higher distortions, the tape is totally imperfect for recording " analog " when in digital there is no single trouble about and way lower distortions.

Anyway, due that you have a misunderstood of my points or that I just did not explain it very well is useless to argue with you on that very specific issue facts because I'm not talking of what we like but what is rigth or wrong..  Each one of us like what we like and this is all what matters.

Dear @jerryg123 : ""  enjoy my digital components but prefer the analog section more. """

That's your privilege and nothing to argue against it.

Now, your targets are different from the listen targets of any one else. 

You prefer the " analog section " and what this really means? only that you like a medium that's not to close/truer to the recording a medium that, like it or not, developed way higher any kind of distortions everywhere.

 I love my " analog section " too but my target is to stay nearer/truer to the recording with out any explanation today digital medium is the only medium that can achieve my target and that target says that if you are truer to the recording/nearer to then you are nearer to the live MUSIC too.

Every move/action in my room system is for both mediums ( no matters what ) been as nearer to the recording as its own limitations can permit it.

That you be a musician does not helps to stay truer to the recording and you confirmed when posted : " prefer the analog section ". Period.

Dear @jerryg123 : Does not exist that " hypocrisy " you named, I love MUSIC and I like to listen my over 6K LPs in my analog rig but I'm not so stupid to not enjoy the digiotal superior medium.

""  So enjoy your Analog to Digital and back to Analog... "

not really, your ears at the end has an ADC for your brain can process and you can " understand "  the LP recorded MUSIC. Yes, you listen not in analog but digital:


"""  With the hair cells, we come to the end of the audio path inside the ear. Hair cells are neurons, and the purpose of the outer hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations that come from their cilia into nerve signals. Such signals are binary (all or nothing), and seem to be completely decorrelated from the analogue signals to which they correspond. In other words, they're digital signals, and the inner hair cells are analogue‑to‑digital converters.  """

All the human been cells including the neurones in the brain are comunicated in between through neuro-transmitters using mainly electric impulses after bio-quimic proccess ( not continuous but impulse after impulse after impulse... ). In reality the binary comunication human been system is really complex as it complex that scientifics know for sure not even the 20% of the brain full operational status.

 That ADC named here is a high-ligth of this link:

So enjoy digital.

Dear @jerryg123 :  Don't buy it if you don't own between 500-1000 LPs and even that don't buy it if you don't have a wealthy pocket to really enjoy MUSIC enjoy those LPs and even that do not buy it if you don't have high knowledge and skills levels to make your self  overall cartridges/TT/tonearms/Pono stage set up and finally do not buy a TT if you have not enough patience to make that that analog rig be as good experience of listen MUSIC as the best digital set ups that today no matters what is a " little " superior to the analog experiences other than live MUSIC.


Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
