Which Turntable?

[jtwrace]

ML Amigos,

For better or worse, gave up on vinyl along time ago once CD sound started "getting close" to the sound of vinyl. When I last tried, I found that my system (read speaker position) would need to set for either vinyl or CD.

Appreciate anyones comments / insights on this issue. To state it bluntly, have you experienced this anamoly and, assuming you have, how have you addressed this issue?

FWIW, I've spoken with other folks that feel the same way, as in tune your system for digits or analogue.

Don't say this.....your scaring me. I've heard many digital/analog systems that sounded great both ways. What you say does make some sense though.

My system and speaker placement is set up for my Ayre since i am lazy. Every time I listen to my record player I am blown away by how much better analogue sounds. Go figure!

Harry Weisfeld once mentioned this to me and there may be something to it as I doubt anyone in this country has done more research on analog than Harry.

Only because analog sounds better I've found that my system is set up for analog to sound best but hi-rez has similar sound and CD is in a solid third place even with the new DAC.

Hi Jason

Don't say this.....your scaring me. I've heard many digital/analog systems that sounded great both ways. What you say does make some sense though.

Didn't mean to scare you my friend but we all know each medium (digital vs analogue) has its inherent strengths and weaknesses and it seems reasonable to suggest that a system optimized for one medium will not sound "totally tuned" in the other. At least that was my experience when I had both in my system.

Looking forward to getting together at RMAF. At this point, looks like I'll be able to get away and meet my wonderful ML amigos face to face.
