For the last year or so CD was the go to music source for me. My Loesch & Weisner phono/pre just was not up to task. Tubes were failing [ WE 417A] and hard to find. Needed repair as well. Sat tight and figured I would synerigize my system for CD. So checked out computer and DACs VG but lacking for me in dimension and geshalt. Ripped music was just not for me even free. I got VG sound but never satisfied 100% Digititus had me edgy. No agruements this is my personal opinion.
Sounds really good but I miss my music. Meaning 2000LP's with what I really like. What was I thinking.
. Digital was alwys my second choice or when I was just lazy to play an LP. Oye !!
So I'm re-entering the game again. Purchasing a Miyajima Shilabe MC cart. [ robinwyattaudio.com]
A custom Miracle Audio phonostage made to order for that cart.
Excited again, all over again.
