I use digital streaming about 95% of the time out of convenience. IMHO the best vinyl rigs still sound better than the best digital ones. However, digital has improved significantly in comparison to the early days of compact discs. In the past, I sold a few turntables only to eventually buy another one. I’ve had my Systemdek IIX (paid about $350 including a Grado Reference Platinum MM phono cartridge worth $350 on its own) for the past 15 years and enjoy having it around for the occasional times that I want to listen to vinyl. If you own a decent size record collection it probably makes sense to at least have a good quality affordable table, such as a Rega P2.
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
I've recently moved heavily into streaming and digital playback. That system's core is the Denafrips Terminator Plus DAC with an Innuos Zenith Mk 3 / Phoenix USB. Just added a LHY Audio SW-8 ethernet switch. Great cables all the way around. By most standards this is a reasonable mix of gear. I run the Innuos Sense App as it sounds better than Roon. Love the convenience of digital and infinite supply of tunes from Qobuz. My problem is this. My vinyl rig generally sounds better. Sometimes by a wide margin. Do others with both rigs have the same problem?
