Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?

My system sounds amazing. No harshness. I have detail, an expansive sound stage, and the voices sound like they are in the room with me. Digital streaming and class d amplifiers. Worth it!

Raise your hand if you wear glasses so you can see 20/20.

Raise your hand if you have corrective hearing devices that normalize the environmental damage and adjust hearing parameters according to your effective 'listening' age.

So even since Ben Franklin we've been able to smooth out differences in vision.  Now, other than 'hearing aids' the same does not exist for hearing and there is no 'standard' other than hearing 'beep' 'beep' at difference frequencies, which is not the same as hearing music or reading a street sign at 40 feet.  The only true benchmark we have is getting a 12-year old to listen to something and we deduce what we missed by them describing what they heard.

How many still cling to their black box faux wood grain 27" CRT's playing S-VHS?  That's analog.

But how many think our 4K TVs are actually showing 4K...or even HD...it's digital anyway....but it's okay for vision....I just ignore the sloppy compression and carry a film projector with me just in case.

Listening age is an old wives tale.

"Ticks" and "pops" in vinyl are usually caused by static and dirt. Clean your records and then get rid of the static before you play them. Of course, take care of your records in the first place. No more noise. 

Whats that you say Katie?
