| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? The question is moot because it assumes analog is inherently better which it isn’t. It all depends on both sides. Having said that competitive digital is more common these days than not so even a minimal investment can take you far. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Don’t know about Chromecast but trust me...I have 4 different digital sources of fairly modest cost by these standards and they all sound very good. 🖖 | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Hmmm my digital cost ~1/100th that and its pretty darn good. I've heard many others similar that are also very good. Good digital is not hard at all to get these days. My Linn vinyl rig cost even less when I bought it. Look a turntable like th... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! When God invented records, did he ever envision it would cost this much to play them right?Is that why he invented digital? | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Those are 100 series 3 drivers (8", circa 2008, one version older design than current) in original refurbed Walsh 2 cabinets. I picked them up here on Agon. I run them off a Bel CAnto c5i 60w/ch digital integrated amp that can be seen in the ca... | |
| Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved. I think I saw this on an episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone was suspicious that their neighbors were aliens on a mission to ruin their hifi sound. | |
| Impedance Matching in the Modern Audio System Yes not a concern typically with all ss gear. | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? Great sounding music makes me happy. Case closed. 🖖 | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have my similar size (to 2000s) Ohms in a much larger area. Listening to them as I type. You should be fine. Can’t beat living close to the shop.https://photos.app.goo.gl/12N92gFkrA7kLTo47 | |
| Can an IC based amp be considered 'high end'? I have one of these and sounds pretty darn good. Might pass as high end in a blind listening test but not much to look at. https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Audio-Amplifier-Receiver-Integrated/dp/B076XSBCCL/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ke... | |
