@mclinnguy yeah the kronos table is pretty sick. Both the main and secondary systems were very cool
Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?
I have a good analogue front end. Not stratuspherically good but good enough for this comparison. VPI Prime Signature 21 turntable, Pass Labs XP-25 pono preamp, Pass Labs XP-30 preamp and Hovland Radia amp. It has a lovely, very involving sound. On the right recording, I just drop everythng and am drawn in to listen.
My streamer, on the other hand, is decent but not spectacular. It is better than my CD player, but it is not jaw-dropping like my analogue front-end. My question is this: does anyone have a high-end, tier-one streamer (dCS Bartok Apex, Lumin X2, or something like them) that can rival a good analogue system?

@audio-b-dog the brief silence isn’t a big deal with gapless. Flipping a record creates a much bigger gap :) |
True, and I have records that need to be turned over in the middle of a musical phrase. If I remember correctly that is the case on Stravinsky conducting both Rite of Spring and Firebird. On the plus side, though, I listen to music while I'm at my computer and I am supposed to get up and walk around every 30 minutes or so. Turntable good! |
