And don't get me started on tonearms and cartridges .
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Tenasi belt drive from Richer Sounds - in 1988. Not bad at all, sold it to one of my brothers and he used it for years until he went CD only.
Then got a Kenwood linear tracker from Richers back when they did all the bin-end Jap bargains. Quality job with the honeycomb aluminium chassis and all that jazz. Had that for years.
Stupid to sell that - and then went though a 'dark age' of nasty Phillips belt drive, a Sanyo direct drive, a Sony direct drive (not one of the good ones) and some other tat so awful I've wiped it from memory.
Then:
Systemdeck IIX electronic with Linn Basik Plus arm. Second hand but got it for nowt, broke not long after I got it and it went back to Systemdek for about 6 months to be fixed at huge expense. But after that a great deck, had a Nag MP30 on it that was a top sound.
Always fancied a Technics SL1200 so bought an old one for £200. What a great deck, sounds like a CD player! Bought a newer, mintier one of Roy of this parish and fitted a Nagaoka MP50 and a Funk Firm Achromat (recommended). Now sounds exactly like the CD player but replacement stylus is so expensive it costs 25p a side to play a record. Gave up at that point.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
