"Ticks" and "pops" in vinyl are usually caused by static and dirt. Clean your records and then get rid of the static before you play them. Of course, take care of your records in the first place. No more noise.
Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?
Hi all,
I recently acquired a PS audio Nuwave dac which has eliminated most of the digital harshness compared with my old dac but it's still not as smooth and harsh-free like vinyl. I was wondering if it's worth pursuing that analog sound from digital without spending a fortune and if it's even possible. I know lots of digital lovers will say digital can be as good as vinyl but is it really?
