Parity

I’ve finally achieved parity between my digital and analog sides.
With the acquisition of a new turntable ((Feickert Volare,) I’m at last enjoying both formats equally.

An observation between the two: They are definitely different in character and each has its own sonic signature. Analog is more spacious and for lack of a better word, mellow. Digital is more finely etched. Each has a very well defined sound stage.
Both are a pleasure to listen to now.

@rvpiano - I’ve been interested in the Feickert Volare for a while. Either that or a SOTA Saphire will likely end up being table #4. Curious as to what arm you used.

bdp24,

I have about 2000 records and 4000 CDs. 
Until recently, I’ve been mostly streaming, even with all the software.  
I think my habits are going to change with the new turntable.

I’m using the Origin Live arm.

Dang @rvpiano, 4000 CDs! I know how much wall space that eats up---I have somewhere between 3500 and 3600. My six CD racks (three wide, two high) take up almost an entire wall, floor-to-ceiling. On the opposite wall are the LP's (of which I have never counted), the racks for which leave only enough room for one set of stacked Tube Traps.

bdp24,

After a fire I had my music room rebuilt with about twenty feet of CD shelving floor to ceiling, plus record browsers and shelves.
Now, with streaming, it’s effectively obsolete.
