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


I recently bought new speakers - GoldenEar Triton One.R towers - to pair with my Naim Uniti Star. My set-up for digital is the Naim with Ethernet, Qobuz & Tidal HiRes organized and played through Roon. With all of my other systems until now I preferred the sound of vinyl over digital. I have a Rega Planar 3 tt with Rega Fono preamp. I spin the highest quality records you can get - Mofi 1 Step, Analogue Productions, Classic Records, etc. etc. I've been listening for days trying to convince myself otherwise because of the $$ I've spent on records but the digital chain just sounds better to my ears. The question is: Is this because my new speakers are revealing the disparity between digital and analog better than lesser speakers I've used in the past (Monitor Silver, PSB Platinum, etc.) or is it because some speakers just match better with digital vs vinyl or is it because with the Naim streamer / DAC I've just put together a better digital front end and need to upgrade my tt and / or phono preamp?

Your new speakers are a more dynamic and full range speaker than you have had before so you will hear that the two formats will both sound very good at that point the better recording will win out and it will not matter what format it is on. The only thing i can say is that if you got a better phono pre amp your vinyl would sound a whole lot better and you did not mention the cartridge but if it is a rega you can switch to a dynavector 10x or 20 x and move to a whole new realm of sound on your table to.
