When is digital going to get the soul of music?

"I've found digital recordings via Lp to be a revelation."

What are "digital Lp's"???

Guidocorona, I think is was a combination of the afteraffects of listening at Aplhifi combined with his proof that it wasn't the digital recording process that was the problem. I also experienced some of what I' de call digital effects not driving me crazy. Maybe that would be analogous to the ticks and pops on records driving some people crazy? I have to ask a question, though. I heard an Eric Clapton cd, in which I found the dynamics to be different than what I was comfortable with. Do I need to speed up my listening process or something?

No Mak, do not speed up nor slow down anything. . . just listen to the music and follow your heart. If the APL 3910 player gives you joy it's the one for you. If in the end it does not, then it isn't. And this goes for any other player as well as for digital in general. As I posted elsewhere, think of the audition process as 'dating'. Was it exciting yet only a one or two night stand, or are you now ready for a commitment and you want to take 'her' home to Mom? In other words. . . was it lust but the two of you are not truly compatible, or is it true Love?

guidocorona: yes, indeed. yes, indeed. but, it does appear that people really believe that the way to the 'soul'in music is through equipment and technology.
whatever.
