Isn't it really about quality of recording?
Interesting topic as I have discussed this over and over again with many audiophiles. Gary from Genesis speakers did a demonstration a number of years back where he produced 5 different materials on LP of the same song.  Each of the materials imp... 
Analog vs. digital
These type of general questions are never completely answered.  So much comes down to the phono stage and cartridge.  Any component can be altered to sound how you prefer it for your ears.  Resistors, capacitors, chokes, etc.      
Can anyone recommend someone who recap crossovers
I'm in New Jersey if you want to discuss the work  PM me

Best Stereo Upgrade Value
Source without a doubt. BUT all others add to the SQ. Without a source you don’t start with the tone of the instruments such as violin, stand-up bass, piano and sax. Those all have a unique sound that the other components cannot compensate for in ... 
Best resistors for use in phono stage?
Lots of recommendations but it comes down to how you want your system to sound. So far the best sounding resistors to our ears are the Audio Note non-magnetic silver.  Then the AN copper.  Vishays are more dry sounding in comparison but very pen ...

Should I add a DDC? Looking for experienced advise please.
Plenty of high end (expensive) DACs where the inputs are not all the same.  It depends on the design.  For example, we just completed repairing and upgrading the Da Vinci Light Harmonic DAC - $43K back in the day.  All inputs were not the same.

$25k speakers, are we there yet?
@jerryrocks - you suck!  The Magico A5s are what what my high end reviewer buddy told me today is great speaker.  Much different that some of the other models.  Just heard his large new Wilson speakers and they sounded pretty good also but mucho b... 
DAC diminishing returns
You are looking at this in the wrong way if you are thinking that price makes the difference.  It is how something is designed and built.  We manufacture an R2R 101D tubes DHT DAC with a separate 30lb power supply.  Not all R2R DACs sound like our...
