At what level does analog beat digital?


It is often said that analog, i.e., vinyl beat digital, but at what price point? Will any descent turntable beat out any descent redbook or SACD player? Will a 500 dollar turntable beat out a 500 CDP? Is it system dependent? Will the phono preamp or the line stage play a big role?

I will compare Audio aero capitole mkII with the Nottingham Hyperspace table /anna arm/benz ruby II. I listen to cd's a lot more because its easy and there is more new material than vinyl. That said the resolution and detail is still better with well recorded vinyl. It did cost a lot more for the analog side because you also need a exceptional phono stage. I use the Manley steelhead.
