Whenever available. Second-turntable
Formats change, resolutions change, but the music remains. Sure you may pop a record on the turntable once in a while, but how do you listen to the <I>majority</I> of your music during the year?
The turntable makes a beautiful noise, but CDs and SACDs are nearly there, and so much more convenient. Actually, the SACDs are probably there, but I only have a few dozen. When a good music server (like the McIntosh MS300) which stores the music in a lossless format becomes affordable I am probably going to upload all my CDs into one and free up acres of shelf space in my living room.
I use an inexpensive DVD player (currently a Pioneer DV-653A) with the MSB Network card installed, and connect it via a CAT-5 cable to an MSB Platinum Plus latter-DAC. This process both eliminates jitter and has far greater and more accurate resolution than any chip based DAC, no matter how many tubes are added.
I was in the market for a high-resolution format player. During that time I listened to a turntable and that was it. I was hooked to the sound of vinyl. I then visited two high-end local stores to audition 2K to 4K turntables and SACD players. I only listened to the same recordings on both formats in order to have a more accurate A-B comparison. The sound of vinyl was much closer to a real live sound experience. I even added a Benchmark Media DAC-1 to my Krell CD player and the sound is still not even close to my Wilson-Benesch Full Circle/Sumiko Black Bird/Graham Slee Era Gold V combo. I've listened to some 10K+ SACD players and I still regard vinyl as the only pure format. It doesn
CDs rule my listening, with vinyl a distant second and reel-to-reel tape in third place. I can't even recall the last time I used my tuner; the one local FM station that broadcasts classical music compresses it so horribly that I can't stand to listen to it.
