analog or Digital

I just love the way you an change the sound of your stereo by changing cartridges. The great thing is you can keep getting better fidelity if you have a good turntable.

1. Some say digital can never match analog.

Digital recordings are broken up into tiny, miniscule bits. Analog is one uninterrupted signal. The difference is most noticeable, supposedly, in classical music. But you'd have to be a true audiophile to hear the difference. Or a dog.

2. Disagree

a good used AR turnatble(can be had for $125.00 and a good cartridge(I just picked up a Pickering xsv-3000) for $55.00 and this combo with a very good album will blow away most CD players. If you buy an audiophile album($30.00) you would not believe the difference. I own a $500.00 CD player and I tell you the difference is easily heard.

3. Well, you could be a true audiophile.

Or a dog. :P
