Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital


Hi, everyone,

although I think I have a decent digital system, I have never heard a modern analogue front end before.

Recently, I have developed an interest in the classical genre, both power and small ensemble. For classical music, obviously, plenty of LP's are available.

Given the universal (make that UNIVERSE-ALL) concensus that an analoque front end sounds better than a digital source of similar budget, I have a question:

What is the minimum amount of money one must spend on an analogue front end to conquer the BEST digital money can buy, be it redbook CD, HDCD, 24/192, or SACD?

Thank you,

David

Ken,
there is one that seriously shatters my vinyl addiction and you know that my vinyl rig ain't really that bad (wink, wink).
I know, I know, (and you know it too) two and a half years ago when I said that there is something close to vinyl in digital domain people didn't believe (if I remember correctly I put it something like "the first cd I can listen to") and now when I say that there is something digital that betters most of the analog gear there is, probability is that they will cut me in slices... if they dare.
