Parity

I’ve finally achieved parity between my digital and analog sides.
With the acquisition of a new turntable ((Feickert Volare,) I’m at last enjoying both formats equally.

An observation between the two: They are definitely different in character and each has its own sonic signature. Analog is more spacious and for lack of a better word, mellow. Digital is more finely etched. Each has a very well defined sound stage.
Both are a pleasure to listen to now.

Congratulations @rvpiano 

Eventhough I have a few thousand CD’s and albums, I bought a streamer about six months ago and have been like a kid in a candy store.  I’m thinking about going totally digital.  
 

Enjoy!

A related issue is the ratio of the number of LP’s in your music library vs. the number of CD’s/SACD’s, and the relative time you spend listening to each source type.

@rvpiano - I’ve been interested in the Feickert Volare for a while. Either that or a SOTA Saphire will likely end up being table #4. Curious as to what arm you used.

bdp24,

I have about 2000 records and 4000 CDs. 
Until recently, I’ve been mostly streaming, even with all the software.  
I think my habits are going to change with the new turntable.
