How timely

Just yesterday I had a solid 5 hour in home demonstration courtesy of a most generous Inmate from Vinyl Asylum. He bought over and set up of a wonderful turntable/arm/phonostage/cartridge system that consisted of a Kuzma Stabi Reference turntable, Triplanar Mark VII tonearm, Manley Steelhead phono stage, and Discovery Essence interconnect to the preamp. I don't recall the MC cartridge, but it goes without saying that it was comparable in quality with the rest of his $20,000+ turntable system.

There is no question that the system sounded wonderful! But I believe I am on solid ground when I speak for the both of us (the Vinyl Asylum Inmate and me) in saying my digital system (in two channels) acquitted itself just as well. (I can't objectively say any more than that until I complete purchase and installation of my own system).

My point is that analog and digital systems of comparable quality don't compete, they complement. I truly believe that the Vinyl Inmate who listened with me would think I was crazy if I abandoned or subordinated in anyway my SACD system in favor of vinyl. There is so much to enjoy on both sides.
