You’re wrong ;ears are analog. Can you not hear the difference between a digitally generated voice and a recording of a human voice? And don't give me any of that recording or playback excuse; the difference is apparent in virtually any perception,

Oh, pardon me, but I didn't address your question about a digital recording made on a digital tape being a real time representation of a musical performance. No, it is not. Being digital precludes that. You must not know what the difference betwee...

Yeah,a decent disc costs less than twenty bucks (the last disc I bought was JJ Cale and Eric Clapton; Road to Escondito). Maybe your're getting ripped off; it wouldn't surprise me. The last record I bought costs considerably more, but it was worth...

My $1,200 turntable sounds better than my $1,400 CD player. The CD player has tubes in it but the turntable don't. I wonder what it all means. Fact: a vinyl record is a reproduction of a real time musical performance.Fact: a compact disc is not a ... 
Turntable Set-Up HELP!
I agree; the cartridge must be defective. Nothing else makes sense unless if you have a separate phono stage it may have blown a fuse. Might check that. 
VPI 40th Anniversary Table After Warranty Support Question
Here's another thought experiment; you could order one of these fine new VPI turntables and get killed in a car crash before it gets delivered.Or the VPI could die in a Fedex truck crash and you would have to wait for another one.

I would be leery of buying anything that's a first run product whether it's a car or anything else. Plus, as far as I know, this is the only direct drive table they have....could be wrong.
