A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..

I don't .He was Heavy Metal prospect for sure .

This is a pretty good explanation of how an analog signal is produced and I found it informative.  However, I do not believe one format is better than the other.  Both digital and analog sound great when played back on high quality gear.  My system includes an analog setup costing around $30K and a digital setup costing around $6K.  To my ears, the analog set up is superior in musical enjoyment, but the digital set up is only slightly behind, at 1/5th the cost.  Fact is, I enjoy both formats and don't expect I will ever abandon one over the other.  
One thing I like about analog is I tend to play an entire side of a record, and when I play digital I skip around to other songs a lot more.  There is something more relaxing about playing records, probably related to a mind set of committing to sitting down and listening to 15+ minutes of music at a time without having the easy option of giving up on a piece with the push of a button.  
On the other hand, the convenience of creating a massive playlist in digital format allows me to play music all day without having to flip sides

One thing missing in purely engineering studies is human preference.

The best businesses rely on audience studies to determine engineering targets. Not the other way around.

While we can make the engineering case that 96k/24 bit recordings are so close to perfect a human can no longer distinguish higher resolutions, we cannot tell by that study alone what they would pay for.

This is a secret Bose and Harman very well know and live by.

" The human ear and brain is not sufficiently equipped to distinguish the difference between sound produced from analog signals when compared to a digital counterpart." 

Now that is pure comedy there (LOL)

Schubert says:
" The human brain can easily detect the difference between analog or digital if it has heard it"

Exactly!

Anyway... I'll keep listening to both formats.
