I dare anyone to listen to the audiophile digital remaster of miles davis a kind of blue in a chord Choral Blu CD transport & Choral DAC64 digital audio converter (15,000) or any other hyper expensive digital front end, and after, listen to a regular press (not 180gr) of the same record on an average record player, lets say a rega p3, rb300 arm and denon 103 cartridge (700 dlls)
Even any non-audiophile listener will tell you that the cd has less dynamics and more noise. Vinyl sound is still far superior than any cd including high bit audiophile recordings. Nothing digital can beat a properly mastered, cut and pressed vinyl, this makes vinyl less consistent, but when you have a right press which is quite often, you are transported in music to heaven. Now if you have a more decent analogue combination like mine, any digital front end seems completely mediocre including the TP. I have a TP because of convenience and because many records that i like dont come in vinyl, and yes the sound is very very good for being digital, so i cant complaint. I am very aware of digital limitations. -- GuyDebord Reference3A RoyalMaster monitors biwired with van den Hul Inspiration, REL Strata5. AMPS: Pathos Classic One MKIII's in mono config.
