We have a couple of Oracles plugged into the Meridian systems scattered about the household. I've got a maxed out Oracle Delphi V with Turbo PS/SME V/Benz Ref into an Audiomat Phono1 on the "big rig". My wife has an Alexandria/Profile/Madrigal Carnegie into an M phono board in our main "living area" system. Although digitized vinyl loses a little magic in comparison with a great analog signal path, it can still be both enjoyable and very satisfying.

That being said, if one did not already have a large library of vinyl which predated your entry into Meridian's all-digital milieu, I'm not sure starting from scratch would be money well spent.Between my spouse and I, we have a couple thousand LPs so the record spinner was a given.

Happy Trails!
