Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?

What do you do about Electrical grid noise ?

You can bought for example, better power supplies, power conditioner, power cleaner or regulator, power harmonizer, etc

All these are electronic components that introduce noise of their own...They work by some filtration and trade-off operations in some range more than another...

The best they are the more they cost, thousand of dollars easily....

I dont have this money...

I try something for the last years on my own...

I use some minerals to passively filtrate  the electro magnetic grid of my house to decrease the noise level, instead of active electronic components....

My best creation was the "golden plate" which is made of a shungite plate with a side covered with copper tape...The copper side always external to the surface applied on..

I use also other minerals with success...

The noise level of my main electrical noise decrease amazingly...

Low cost solution....

All audio system must be embedded in the electrical grid of the house....

The other embeddings environment are the resonance vibration mechanical embeddings...

The more important is the acoustical embeddings, i treat it not only passively but actively...


The 3 controlled embeddings are the only sure  way for an OPTIMAL use of any audio system...

Cost nothing, except peanuts and all my ideas are implemented with homemade materials or very low cost products...

There is a total mutation in S. Q. from before to after the installation of the controls of the 3 embeddings for my audio system....Like day and night....

Before upgrading your electronic component at high cost, why not listen to their true potential before any move?

The bog standard CD will give you 96db dynamic range, which is still about 25db better than even the BEST vinyl.

Please research the LSB ADC problem.

the initial problem is in the ADC, the analog to digital conversion.

there is no suitable analog to digital converter in existence anywhere.

And that is just the start of the problems with digital. Specific implacable problems that analog does not have at all...

Dither exists as a thing, in a feeble and failed attempt to shine a turd.

But wait...there's more. Much more....

As I oft counsel, the CD is not (rpt not) the problem, it can contain tremendous dynamic range and signal to noise ratio, and all of the intricate Information from the original tape. The problem, gentle readers arises when the CD is played back 🔙 on CD players, even very expensive CD players! Hey, where did all the information and dynamic range go?!! 😩
And I’m not even talking about CDs that have the life compressed out of them, which accounts for the majority these days, I’m talking about good CDs. Heck, you’re lucky if you get 75 dB dynamic range out of a CD.

Just listen to some vinyl systems and some digital systems. Some people don’t care that much. If you do prefer the vinyl set up and are willing the extra effort than it’s a good choice. Asking us is quite irrelevant. For me vinyl is a no brainer. For others they feel their digital is good enough. So it’s obviously a better choice for them. 
As far as the comments “the best digital is compatible to the best analog. Who cares, I’d care more about enjoying all my music collection. And this is accomplished more with analog for myself. And I accept other find different.

All sound studios record almost everything digitally today.  95% of the analog you think you are listening to has already been a to deed once at the microphone and dee to aed again onto the vinyl.   So even in the best analog system you have, you are already listening to digital, twice converted.  It is 21 st century guys. There are virtually no analog recording studios left anywhere.
