Do you guys believe me when I say the LP sounds better than digital on my system? Even with a cheap Technics SL-D2 and $50 BBE phono pre? Is this possible? The drums sound particularly better and the music just makes a "happy alive" sound. I can't really describe it. Maybe because it has such great dynamic range?
What's a better way to playback a recording of an lp? digital 24/96 or recorded on a good hi-fi VHS cassette?

How does the SL-D2 compare to the SL-1200 what were the differences? I wonder if the SL-D2 can be modded? Right now there is a very faint hum though even when the table isn't spinning.
I am a mostly vinyl listener. Iam increasingly listening to digital though. Slowly I have come to recognize that digital is more detailed and has better bass. It depends on the recording. I have cds that sound better than the vinyl version I have and vice versa. Digital is in general more forward sounding to me though.
Even with my cheap Technics SL-D2? LOL. Btw, I have the record playing sitting directly on the wooden cabinet shelf. Should I be using a mat or puttipng sponges or foam or cork or somethign underneath the feet? Would that improve the sound?
I don't know what I'm doing lol.. I just cut four 4 inch or so squares from harbor freight neoprene workbench mat and placed a square under each foot. I don't know if it is wishful thinking or not but I am thinking it sounds better hrm lol.. I need to A/B it several times.
i have la scala's which are super efficient and tend to show off any noise upstream which is part of why i am replacing those components with low noise versions. I guess i have my answer
thanks, yes. currently running them on the ACA and they sound really great. also a B1 in the chain cut out most of the rest of the noise. on wards to the turntable!
