Interesting topic. I think I now have a clearer understanding of what the OP is talking about. In some ways this thread leads back to previous discussions of the role of power conditioning/regeneration on individual components and/or on systems as a whole.
There are numerous conditioning designers who have specifically worked to isolate digital components from non-digital believing that digital gear puts an amusical "grunge" into the power that negatively affects the rest of the system. I have no reason to resist that assertion. All of my components are using regenerated power except the amp which receives conditioned power. I also go to considerable lengths to eliminate vibration from my components and also to reduce resonances within each component.
@mahler123 Well said! "The medium is Not the message" How many people have expressed that even if it meant listening to an emotionally moving performance on an old 78, the quality of the performance comes through?! Perhaps, yes perhaps, our emotions are more easily moved when we listen to an analog (LP) performance because the "analog air" relaxes us as the listener. Perhaps.
Funny thing...this type of discussion, the emotional impact of analog versus digital, keeps coming up. Many of us here can remember this raging audiophile issue battling itself out ad nauseum on T.A.S. and Stereophile as early as the mid to late '80s.
One thing my four decades of audiophiledom has taught me is that vibration and resonance is an enemy of great sound. As for power conditioning/regeration, you be the judge with your system. Enjoy the Music!
