A classic mix is a very detailed music SS amp with a natural perspective
with the latest Mosfets, Fet, and Bipolor transistors they have in part a vacuum tube characteristic to them , but adding a vacuum tube preamp gives you the
added bloom of a vacuum tube to create a great blend , also
your front end is IMO as important as the Loudspeaker , a quality R2R dac has a very analog natural character ,finally very good quality digital is as good and in some ways better especially in S/N , ratio and distortion levels vs a turntable
turntables like vacuum tubes have a nice warm character , but not as accurate and bottom end digital is clearly better. Records are better recorded but severely limited . With digital you cannot skimp anywhere or it sounds thin or brittle if not a top recording a minimum of $12 k for dac, Ethernet hub , and digital cables minimum to get B+ quality Denafrips Terminator+ 12 th anniversary I have not heard but even better, and Holosprings May KTE Are by far the best value in the $6k range and best anything out there at 2x the cost .i am not a big China fan but these are exceptions to the rule . Turntables much more variables and cost much more monies to better digital of this quality . I just thought it should be mentioned .
