Well if it analog beats digital every time I have not heard it. I have listened to some faily expensive rigs 10K+ and while it is very good; it would not be worth the hassle for me. A friend of mine has a very nice rig and I have listened to his on a couple of occasions; I am not running out to buy a TT. But thats me and everyone likes what they like there is good and bad with all formats.
New to Analog and just played my first record in
30 years. Just thought I would try to see what all the fuss is about with records. Long time Aphile and well versed in all but analog. Love my CD's, but had to try.
Ok, I was given a B&O Beogram RX table with B&O MMC3 cartridge. I purchased a very inexpensive Applied Audio Technology phono preamp for $50 and am using a nice power supply on it. The ART phono preamp is said to be pretty good for cheap.
I was given 5 lp's that I am now listening to. Sounds decent, but not as good as my CD front end. Not sure if I need a better table, cart or phono preamp. Not sure which would impact the sound more and give me a better taste of analog. Please help me!
Should I look at a better table or phono preamp? I don't want to spend that much , but want to be sure I am not missing something special. I would spend $150 or so.
What model table or phono preamp would give me a better sense of good analog?
Based on what I am now hearing I don't think I would bother with analog. My CD front end simply sounds much better.
