| Records and CDs @ghdprentice I totally concur with your point. I remember making those A-B comparisons in previous years with analog coming out on top every time. Things have radically changed. Having invested heavily (for me) in a new analog system recently, I... | |
| Records and CDs Can’t resist the temptation to do an A-B comparison between the record and the streamed digital version of the same performance to test SQ. | |
| Records and CDs @newbee Exactly the same experience. Listening for the sound of records rather than the music. That becomes the operative mode. And yes, orchestral which is my main listening is extremely uneven and frustrating.. | |
| Records and CDs @yogiboy I don’t know why there is an either/or dichotomy with analog and digital in my head. Others in this forum have experienced the same dilemma. Somehow they won’t peacefully exist. It would be nice if I could have it both ways. | |
| Records and CDs @ellajeanelle I hear you! I don’t know where I’ll wind up. | |
| Records and CDs In my previous analogue frenzy I ordered a relatively expensive cartridge (Clearaudio Maestro.) It will be interesting to see what my listening habits will be after it arrives. | |

| Synergy Since I switched cartridges from the Hana ML to the Clearaudio Virtuoso I’ve been playing records almost exclusively. Previously I streamed most of the time. I don’t know if analog sounds better but I’ve become hooked on it. I must say it’s very ... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner I looked up the video instructions for the Kirmuss record restorer. All I can say is, if you’ve got a lot of time on your hands this machine is for you. There are at least 10 steps in the process, every one of them time consuming. Undoubtedly th... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off When I asked this question on Google, it said this is almost a religious issue. Probably shouldn’t have brought it up. | |
| Synergy Get a room! 🙂 | |
| Synergy I really think I have a logical solution to my problem. Simple solution: Play ONLY records that sound good. ‘ In classical that’s very hard. A lot of great performances have mediocre sound. I would have to relinquish my audiophile label and ju... |
