+1 Mike Lavigne
In short--vinyl sounds more natural. Digital sounds truncated.
But it sure is convenient and I listen to digital more than vinyl.
My system has 2 cd players including a Spectral SDR 4000SV and two universal players. On the vinyl side, I have a VPI HRX rim drive with 3d arm and numerous cartridges (I mainly use Lyra Atlas ).
Although I do not have Mike's raw materials, I can tell the difference between vinyl and digital on my system a vast majority of the time. That being said--the Spectral is a remarkable cd player.
