Hello, I own 3 turntables that are setup in my system now along with 3 fantastic phonostages. I have one excellent digital source. Even though digital is extremely good, vinyl does edge it out when it comes to which sounds more LIFELIKE and REAL. I could be very happy with only listening to digital for the rest of my life but when vinyl is setup correctly, it is superior. But vinyl is also more of a pain in the ass setting it up and changing records.
