One of the great things about Vinyl

My nostalgic ears may require rejuvenating. What a long strange trip it's been.

JJbeason14  ? What is your digital system consist of , including Ethernet, and usb cables dac, server ? 
 

and what Is  your analog setup including turntable, cartridge ,and phonostage 

and total investment of  both Analog and Digital 

so others  can see what you are referencing  to . is it 🍎 to 🍏 apples ?

Hearing messages playing backwards like old Beatles records in nostalgic 

but records are so limited, and high maintenance  I just can5 be bother , I have been slowly getting digital when I am happy start8ng with Avery good combo router like the Motorola 8702 ,you never want a separate modem,router  too many extra wires and not as fast or cohesive and the new ones faster processor docsis 3.1 4x faster then older 3.0  allare 12 volt in newer combos ,little green computer 12 v 8 amp Linesr Power Supply $299 put a better Dc cable and a good fuse your stream8ng is that much better ,little green computer buy Sonore Ethernet to Fiber optic  media converter and decent power cords minimum Pangea awg14 se mk2  power cords.  Then on the clean side a Sonore deluxe Femto media converter out to Ethernet  with the excellent Linear Tube Audio LPS power supply .if you truly want to get to reference level you have to eliminate Everything that creates noise  in the signal path.and quality Ethernet cables as well as usb , all are parts of the weak link in the chain, the dac is most $$ and still have the better part of the year to save for a great dac like the T&A 200 dac that’s around $7k. Everything adds up.

I like my music any way I can get it. I will never go on rants that claim one is better than the other. This is all up to the individual listner to decide what they like better. I love my records, cds and streaming all for different reasons. I will say to MY EARS the one thing I notice in listening to records and then streaming is the sound of drums being different. I much prefer the drums in recordings much better on a record. Then I will also say I like the sound of a concert recording better through my dac. But this is me and me only. Enjoy the music!

My system consists of 

B&W DM 630s

Marantz 5004 CD Player

An old Denon mid 80s receiver 50 watts

Very Good Speaker and RCA cables

Technics 1500C TT
