When is digital going to get the soul of music?

I have to ask this(actually, I thought I mentioned this in another thread.). It's been at least 25 years of digital. The equivalent in vinyl is 1975. I am currently listening to a pre-1975 album. It conveys the soul of music. Although digital may be more detailed, and even gives more detail than analog does(in a way), when will it convey the soul of music. This has escaped digital, as far as I can tell.

"I just hope no one starts invoking pop quantum mechanics as the next obvious facile mantra that just explains-it-all"

See "Machina Dynamica" for applications of that theory.

One would even argue that CRT-TV is better than HDTV (it has to - it's analog). It's not "edgy" or "bright" but has this pleasant softness and fuzziness....

"to soften the look of HDTV program content" - yes, because some actors asked for it. Whatever they do result is incredible. Both, analog and OTA HDTV occupy the same 6.5MHz bandwidth but you cannot even compare picture quality.

I think many people are in "digital denial" and HDTV/Analog is a great example.

(NTSC = Never Twice Same Color)
