What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?


Even when making recordings from vinyl to cassette, in some aspects it sounds better, though overall in this particular example the turntable sounds better than the deck. Tape sound appears to have a flow and continuity that vinyl lacks.

Ha-ha ! 16 bit (and 24 bit) digital was/is the biggest lie in History of Audio but they never fooled me : )

Hey, you gave it a shot. Now the name calling starts. That’s not a winning strategy here. Fair warning. 😄

Geoffkait, I've been trying to put across the "emotional involvement"(of analog) idea for a long time.  I used examples such as:  thinking about the next song, or doing something else, and admiring the quality of the sound-all of which is an indication of digital's lack of "emotional involvement".  Some people think digital is more accurate.  To them I say, if it doesn't get this immeasurable quality, how can you say it's more accurate? 
Bingo! I liken digital to the Porterhouse steak that Jeff Goldblum sent through the transporter pod that came out in the second pod in the movie, The Fly. It was molecularly discombobulated and reassembled. It look like steak, it cooked like steak. But it didn’t taste like Porterhouse steak. It tasted horrible.
