Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
If you can’t hear vinyl BLOW away digital, get a better rig.  This isn't even close, guys. We don't buy a turn table that tries to reproduce that digital sound.  They sell digital trying to capture that analogue sound.  Get it?   
Anybody added a full vinyl setup to system? And?
If you have a well set up vinyl rig, there's just no comparison to digital.   
Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like
That cartridge is pure CRAPOLA.  Get a Grado Gold (MM) and listen to how sweet a P3 can sound. 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
My soundstage increased to where I wanted it upon the following:Upgraded to an incredibly good preamp (Jeff Rowland Criterion); upgraded speaker cables to the best I could afford.  That gave me the depth and then the cables shaped the rear of the ... 
New Synergistic Research Record Mat
It wasn't an improvement after all.  After completing my hours listening (tonearm was adjusted for height of mat) it took some tone out of the woodwinds on classical passages.  Not as quiet as my table without mat and current weight.  Its going ba...

New Synergistic Research Record Mat
I am liking the Synergisitic mat.  Still listening but there is more information being extracted form those grooves, or so it seems.  Still listening...  I have only been using it with their weight (replacing my HR Heavy) and there is an improveme...

Call Jeff.  He's awesome.  (actually, he's incredible). 
Frail and Bedazzled
I haven't listened to digital since I got my new table and phone stage - probaly 3 months now.  My digital rig is an esoteric K-03 and an Aurender N-10 which sound incredible but I recently upgraded my vinyl rig to a JR TRanrotor Rodino, SME 5012 ... 
Recommendations for a modestly priced analog system
For a phono stage, I would look for a used Asthetix Rhea or something similar. 
Recommendations for a modestly priced analog system
If you spend some time waiting, you can get an incredible turntable on Agon for that budget.  I wanted to upgrade myslef (had a moded VPI TNT Jr.) and nailed a JR TRansrotor Rodino for under seven grand.  Incredible turntable. I was looking for Cl... 
What's my ideal music server? Read and recommend please
@mgrif104 That is the problem - USB is system dependent on the computer.  That's the power supply, USB bridge, drivers, operating system and a whole other bunch of stuff. I have been playing with computer audio for 20 years or so.  USB is effected... 
Michael Fremer's system
I don't like Fremer (at ALL!) but I do enjoy the video and think he has an incredible record collection and incredible system. 
Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best?
I as using a VPI 16.5.  I did not look for a discount (dont believe they are out there).  Its a grand cheaper than the others on the market and better so I jumped on it. 
Just ordered a vpi avenger
I will not speak about the product but I will speak about spending $10,000 on an item and that not include at at home installation by a qualified tech.  When I purchased my first high end table, I was not really capable of dialing it in to where I...
