Definitely all depends. Some of my vinyl sounds better than digital and vice versa depending on release. CDs played on a good 21st century transport always sounds equal or better than the Redbook file. Many tracks are indistinguishable between Redbook & HiRez. I know what music I like and much of it is not available on vinyl. 90% of all recordings are Redbook.
Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?
I’m looking into getting a second source as I don’t want to be tied down to internet and a streaming service as my only source. Will a $700 turntable and inexpensive phono preamp out perform a Cambridge CXC transport / Schiit Gungir Multibit?
The Schiit Sol / mani preamp look enticing but I know nothing about turntables.
I used to dj and always used technics Sl1200’s and really liked them. I can pick up a nice SL1200 mk3 used for $600...
I figure that before I start spending hundreds, possibly thousands, on cd’s or vinyl, I should be sure which format I want!
Thanks for any advice / input regarding this 😁
