When is digital going to get the soul of music?

I want to apologize Aplhifi, for misspelling your name, and thanks for having me over there. I also heard that DVD-A disc that Aplhifi made, and my comment was "this sounds like analog vinyl". I did notice that the most natural sounding discs were originally recorded in analog. That would be an Elvis Pressly recording, a Nat King Cole made by Reference Recordings, plus that DVD-A Aplhifi recorded. This might be related to what Jlambrick and the guy who recommended Mapleshade's cd's were saying. C5150, this might relate to your point. Discussions are good.

Sorry about the doubling of the same post. The point that Aplhifi was saying about the digital recording mechanism not being that much of a problem, might have been proven by that DVD-A disc that he recorded.

But, what about the soul of the music? Tvad, you have to admit that it is a catchy title? I think I evaluate reproduced music now by how it affects me after I've listened. Things like changing my mood, relaxing me, getting the serotonin going. Guidocorona, I told Aplhifi that it made me tense at first, but later that went away. It had definitely affected me positively after the listening session was done. I only heard one song comparing Oritek X-2's and Aplhifi's interconnects. I know you've heard this before, but I need more time to compare.

I have to mention one more thing about listening at Aplhifi. The high I get from listening to reproduced music was more pronounced and longer lasting than I get from my system. I thought maybe it was due to tubes, as Gunbei suggests. Aplhifi has a tube output, I believe, on his player and his amp has a tube input. I took a look at Aplhifi's web-site, and there might be more to it. Maybe Aplhifi can say something on this?
