What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question)

It's funny you say that it's an honest question though I imagine that debate is endless. Yes I did both within the past few months I bought the Naim then bought the speakers last week. The old speakers I was using I liked they were PSB Platinum T6s then I got a deal on the Tritons and loved them and pulled the trigger. I would say my honest appraisal is the vinyl rig, (which I'm very pleased with overall, having changed over from Pro-Ject / Bellari / PSBs), is almost exactly the same. The digital is markedly improved and has leapfrogged the vinyl, which I did not anticipate (or desire). I am definitely not looking for an excuse to spend more money, though I will if it's the right move. I was just curious to get input from other people many of whom I'd imagine have more experience and / or technical expertise as it pertains to gear.    

The more I play at this though the more legit "Because people like what they like" seems to be. I'm also talking about power conditioning in another post as well as checking out posts on audio science and opinions are so varied I'm learning the "answers" I'm looking for might just be purely subjective after all. But I'm holding out hope it's not all purely subjective.

Basically just not in the correct income bracket to ratchet up the viny spend. To many other expensive hobbies (motorcycles,bicycles and skiing).

I fear I'm in the same boat and with a massive vinyl collection I got kind of OCD about

Thanks all

Re: Synergy - that was one of my notions but if that's the case I'm a bit stuck. I'm limited by what used gear is available at a good price when I have the extra money to spend plus, ahem, permission to buy. I don't have the liberty of auditioning all sorts of new equipment and mixing and matching to fine tune the sound. 

Re: Analog being an entry set-up - thanks for the input on that. That was one of my questions albeit perhaps muddled - in essence, were the new speakers revealing the limitations of my analog setup. My intuition had me leaning that way but I was curious to hear the thoughts of those more experienced. The question then would be what might it cost to purchase a more solidly mid-level analog setup? 

jallan I agree about red book vs high res. I have about 7500 cds I've collected over 30 years and don't want to believe it but it's pretty clear. I've been A B comparing for days. What gear are you using to stream?

Thanks so much for all the input I really do appreciate everyone's time and willingness to pass along some knowledge.

I'm happy with the digital setup but will hold on to Audioman's suggestions for future consideration (though I might check out the Wireworld Starlight right away for the current digital setup. I use Wireworld cables and interconnects and really like them). 
 
Based on the input and some research I think my plan will be to upgrade the phono cartridge and phono pre on the current vinyl setup. I'm not ready to start shopping new, more expensive tts anytime soon. And a lot of the posts mention the big escalation in costs to have a top notch analog front end I just don't have the finances for that. I'm glad to have enjoyable digital sound, but like cat says I am a little disappointed the digital has surpassed the vinyl given the investment in lps. I'm not looking for the end-all in analog sound just to enjoy the sound of vinyl on my system as much as I am enjoying the sound of digital (like verdantaudio says about his setup - different but equally enjoyable).

Really good feedback from everyone thanks again everybody. 

unreceiveddogma:

Are you saying the Rega P3 and Rega Fono are entry level for analog or are you saying the Naim Uniti Star and GoldenEar Triton One.R speakers streaming hi-res Qobuz and Tidal & playing cds with the streaming running off a dedicated laptop all ethernet connected is an entry level digital setup as well?
