"In practice, vinyl is often the worst-sounding format. If you set aside the Stereotypical Audiophiles' pro-vinyl bias, and actually listen to what you have, you frequently find that vinyl is indeed the lowest-fidelity source."
Utter bullshit and spoken like someone who only listens to a 100.00 cartridge on a plastic turntable.

What if it was a 200.00 cartridge and a wooden turntable ... :)
My current analog rig consists of:
Koetsu Jade Platinum
Rega P9
EAR 324
The other rig I had, but sold, was:
Benz Ebony LP and Lyra Titan
Basis 2000 with Vector 1 tonearm
Conrad-Johnson EV-1
All of the cabling was/has been properly treated on an audiodharma Cable Cooker.
Actually, the Rega P9 sounded better with the Lyra Titan (versus the Koetsu Jade Platinum, which is a heavier cart). Meanwhile, the Basis 2000 sounded best with the Koetsu Jade Platinum.
Assuming you dial in the correct settings, the EAR 324 is quiet, just sits there.
your analog system is a few steps ahead of you digital in quality. But I hear what you are saying. I don't want this thread to become a this against that battle. I'm not against vinyl by any means, but in my case, my digital system is giving me what SQ wise. This is making my analog system simply less important to me.
I fully enjoy my digital rig, and actually listen to it ~50% of the time lately. But I just get worked up when I see someone dismiss vinyl out of hand as being a distant second. I think both can be great, but don't count vinyl out as being a heavyweight contender most of the time.Oz

How can you rationally dispute the qualifier;'often'
Let alone charge "utter bullshit"?
