I did an interesting comparison this morning and I wonder if any other Gunslingers have done the same. I have a moderately priced Sony turntable with its original factory cartridge and I compared the BDP-83's analog output to the turntable. My subject CD/Vinyl was Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams and my 990 was set to bypass for both inputs. Other than the random clicks and pops on the vinyl I preferred the vinyl over the CD but they were very very close. I thought I heard a wider soundstage with the vinyl and vocals were slightly more pronounced on the CD.

Any other Gunslingers done a comparison between vinyl and the BDP-83's stereo analog?
