Just wanted to ask.
Rhljazz,
How any CD players have you purchased to get to where you are now? If you did spend the same on a TT as you have your CD players/Dac your vinyl would rival you CD's IMHO.

The Linn Karik/Numeric I purchased new in 1993 for around 5700.00 and it is still working but outclassed. The best sounding digital, and what I use daily, Sony ES77 (bought used for 325.00) as a transport and VAC 22.1 DAC (bought used for 900.00) which absolutely kills the Linn in every parameter. So, I don't have a lot invested in my current digital.
OTH, if I had a 7000.00 analog rig maybe I would find that superior to my digital. Most of what I listen to is on cd and I have a hard time spending a lot of money on equipment to listen to my records. I am experimenting so don't hold me to this statement. I am an audiophile after all.
