Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD
Another update:I upgraded the Hana from EL to SL. I wasn't able to make a side-by-side comparison, so don't ask. I was afraid the SL would be too unforgiving on older, more worn LPs. Not so. I had been enjoying vinyl most of my listening time sinc...
