Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Aside from the spelling mistakes, please expand on what you mean by "the theory of vynil [sic] is that it's analog and not digital." What theory? Are you referring to why some say vinyl sounds better than CD? If so, I would argue that it's not because vinyl is analog, but rather because the music is mastered differently. By your logic, SACD and DVD Audio should sound identical to CD because, after all, they're all digital and come from the same source recording.
Also, "A cheap turntable may add some hiss and crackle, but 90% of the time it's from the record." Citation please?
Finally, what experience do you have to back up the following statement: "...digital has no fundamental issues whereas vynil [sic] does." There's an entire industry built around removing noise from cables, USB ports, power supplies, etc.
Many believe that vinyl has a more "organic" or "warm" sound and more faithfully reproduces the sound of instruments and vocals. Not many like the sound better because it's analog vs. digital. Will someone buy vinyl based on hype? Sure. Same as people will spend money on some audio equipment - because of the hype - sound unheard.
