Analog vs. digital

Digital recording can ’look’ good at first glance, but if you are familiar with live sounds and have a good ear you will agree with my statement. Not a single note right.

Some people just have trouble with the concept of of individual differences. No one will argue with the idea that digital does not sound right to you inna, but our ears, brains and experiences are all very different.

SACD has become the format of choice for classical for many people.

The components rendering the sound determine output, not the storage format… well, unless it is really low resolution (MP3).

It's 2022. We shouldn't be discussing the merits of digital any more. Current digital will recreate any audio waveform, note, etc. better than any analog recording format we have. It's not remotely close. No one with any respectability in electronics will question this. It just is. 2022 people.  There is a reason no one uses analog recording and I don't just mean audio.

There are many others who think like me.

Good luck with your digital audiophile endeavour.

There are many who think the world is flat too, like really believe it. That does not make them remotely correct. People much smarter and knowledgeable have shown the world is not flat just like they have shown repeatedly that what comes off a turntable or tape machine is not remotely as close to the original signal as modern digital. Sometime we just have to accept that what we believe is wrong.
