What to make of my system?


I last week got my analog up and running, and am havin a blast with it, so I went and did some A-B testing and I am scratchin my head, the Analog has an edge but it is small so now I wonder if my digital is pretty good or could my analog use some tweaking.
I am using an AMC as a transport into a Theta Pro BasicII DAC with Cardass Hexlink. My analog is a SOTA star/shaphire with a Grado Signature arm wich has had the wiring upgraded and an old but new Ortofon cartridge FF10 XE, all running into a Sonic Frontiers SFL1 tube pre.
So my point is....when looking at this gear, should the Vinyl blow away the digital? Or am I lucky that although the SOTA is smoother....that its not a huge disapointment to listen to CD's?
Not a really big deal post here, just curious on opinions thanks as always............. Chad

Chad- how old is the cart? Could be some suspension aging issues with NOS carts.
Yes I think that replacement might help, a Clear Audio wooden Virtuoso (sp) is going on this weekend so I am looking forward to what it offers, but to be honest it does sound pretty pleasing right now, so if it gets better then thats pretty cool.
Your Theta Pro Basic-II should not be underestimated.
This unit was part of a system which provided sound to make time stop (in dweller's world).
I've had only a handful of these moments in my 16 year audio career.
My point is, a great piece of audio equipment stands the test of time.
Don't assume because equipment is a few years old that it's inferior to current offerings.
