to preface this, i will say that i am a total noob when it comes to vinyl. i have no idea how it's recorded and so forth. i recently purchased a used rega planar 3 and goldring 1012gx cartridge (they haven't arrived yet...should be next week). anywho, my listening preferences are all over the map. for example:nine inch nails
ministry
tool
a perfect circle
pj harvey
tori amos
albert king
stevie ray vaughan
edvard grieg (classical)
a hodge podge of other piano based classical music as wellmy fiance is trying to persuade me to "return" the rega and cartridge. her justification is that since i mainly listen to the above listed artists most, i will not notice a discernable difference between vinyl and cd because.......those artists record in an all digital environment to begin with so the analog (vinyl) recording will be made from the same digital master that the cd comes from. i see her point, but i'm not exactly sure that's how it work. i have a "stay of execution" so to speak in that i told her if i set it all up properly and didn't prefer the sound of vinyl to cd, i'd sell the rega, cart, and handful of recent acquired lps. can anybody shed some light on this for me / her? my setup is:
denon 3805 (preamp - waiting for supratek chenin)
cary slm-200 tube monoblocks (100+ watts triode)
gershman acoustics avant garde rx-20
nordost blue heaven speaker cablekevin t
