Dear @prof 1 : In good shape: many recording microphones positions are at 1-3m. from the music source.
Now, those microphones have a wide frequency range around ( some of them. ) 10hz to over 50khz and can accept over 120++ SPL coming from the source and can does this in continue way for " hours ".
""" I grew up in a house with saxophones, clarinets, drums, french horns, trumpets, 4 different pianos ...."
with any of those instruments but maybe drums for how many hours/minutes/seconds can you listen it at 1m-2m. from it with the instrument player playing at live concert/presentation SPLs?
if we take a trumpet maybe you can listen for no more than 2 minutes and if you hold there more time you will suffer severe ears damage and I'm talking of 120+ SPLs.
3 Blind Mice LP recordings its microphones are not at 1m-3m but inside the instrument including with piano instrument.
Analog just can't be nearer to that " truer to the recording " target as digital can.
As digital and every other " stuff " analog has precise limits and are shorter than the digital alternative.
Analog and digital limits have its limit foundations in the whole recording playback overall proccess that you or me can't change. Both alternatives " lives " inside its own limits and we audiophiles listen and enjoy both mediums inside those limits.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

@uberwaltz , that your daugther likes analog or you like it or I like it is that the issue and means nothing on this dialogue.
You are talking of a different issue that me, so we can't agree not that I'm against what you posted.
