    So what are you if you buy "Audiophile recordings" supposedly offering better sound resolution, does this make you a music lover or an audiophile irrespective of what equipment you have?
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    'Audiophile' is just a label and open to whatever kind of interpretation each individual chooses to attach to it. There is no hard rule!

    Use it as you like I say. Although it's not a term I'm really inclined towards.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
