    Jitter busters (of which I have three) are installed between the player/transport and DAC. They definitely have a positive influence on the sound quality in my experience


    Oh, and I have to say that I find my CD playback as satisfying as my vinyl, both sound superb, but different.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Welcome to the world of vinyl Ali!

    Finding second hand vinyl in the condition I want takes time and money ... I'm not prepared to pay some of the silly prices on ebay so I bide my time. But when I get a great recording in near mint condition, the satisfaction is immense for me. I very rarely listen to cd nowadays and my cd player is no mean performer - it's been this way for a couple of years now I think!

    When ever my system has blown me away, It's been whilst playing vinyl, hence my intention is to get as many of my good cd's on original press vinyl however possible.

    That's part of the problem I think, I've been buying a lot of new stuff..
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    The place to spend the "silly money" is on a RCM, then the world of cheap 2nd hand vinyl from charity shops and jumble sales opens up Just today I was talking to the Mrs. about the CD side of things and we decided that the Orelle CD 10 T will probably go and if we want to play CDs we will put them on the Mac Mini server or the Sony Blu-Ray on the home cinema system. The Sony goes into the A/V amp via optical and has also has stereo analogue outs. I have multicore tie lines between the racks which are on opposite sides of the room, so it's easy to do). We just seem to prefer the analogue sources, vinyl, radio and tape.

    I like both formats. Fortunately my extreme laziness meant I never got around to selling my LPs, so there's no need to spend time and money tracking down stuff that's no longer in print.

    Yep, the best way to listen to music I've found is to have a small'ish quality Vinyl collection (about 400 LP's) for the records that really matter to me and a streamer / Spotify for everything else, as there is just so much good music that you can't get on Vinyl.
