Analog or Digital and why?


Computers don't make very good guitars. Back in the 90's the debate raged with digital people saying one day digital will get so good, records will become obsolete. Well it's 25 years later and, well the digital thing never happened and analog never sounded better. However you got to remorgage your house. And buy records.

Digital as well as analog has seen continual evolution throughout the decades and both will continue to improve.  Neither is perfect, nor does either fully recreate the live event (is that even possible?).  Either your system draws you into the music or it does not.  So many different paths to audio Nirvana with the available technology out there.
A knock out vinyl system is very costly (so there's that too). 

Fewer and fewer of us here have grown up with vinyl.

Digital is easier.

Sound of both can be stellar or poor.

To some vinyl is the holy grail.

Too much like religion or politics.
Bloody useless."

It’s the world of one for whom life is endless labor in an economy of prestige and self affirmation. All social exchange becomes an opportunity to gain esteem and fill a deficit, at a cost to others. The zero sum game replaces sharing and exchange. There is only what is right and superior, all else is worthless and wrong.


Thank you for sharing your wisdom, master daj.  Say, would you please go over to the Tekton Design Moab thread and have a chat with millercarbon?
No one special here. And I don't mean to hijack anyone's thread, just pointing out something I see happening frequently. Actually, I'm sympathetic. We're all a product of our traumas to one extent or another. Sorry for the outburst.
