it has to do with the quality of sound card and the quality of cartridge in the
turntable. Stanton would be a good quality cartridge, and some type of delta sound
card with balanced ins and outs would be a good quality setup.

Subject: High fidelty and turntables today
I'm not exactly sure how to ask this, but I'm hoping to get some pointers to
more information and some advice. My son is asking for a turntable for his
birthday. I assumed it was to access music he can only find on vinyl, but he
says it's for higher sound quality than he can get off of CD's or MP3's.
I still have the component based stereo system I built when I was younger, which
currently includes a receiver, DVD player and DVR. I retired my turntable and
VCR a while ago. I would not be surprised if such a system, with high quality
components, could produce better sound than you'd get off of a PC or portable
media player.
I guess I'm wondering a couple of things. Is this true that you can get better
sound quality out of a high fidelity system than you can from a PC or portable
media player? If so, how would you go about building such a system today? Would
you do what I did years ago and start assembling your components? Could I get
him a nice turntable that he could hook up to his PC for now and then include in
a component based stereo system down the road?
Thanks for any advice or pointers people could provide me. I haven't started
looking around on the web, but I'm assuming I'd be overwhelmed with the amount
of information out there on such a topic.
