Not as much activity on analog here

Tape just sounds right. Digital just sounds synthetic no matter how you slice it.

Rockitman, Please point out where I said anything negative about vinyl or you said anything positive about digital.
From your 1st post,

One problem...the bulk of the music engineered in digital just plain sucks.

From your 2nd post,

Digital is the primary problem.

I own a few hundred Lps and Charles1dad also said that he owns a lot of Lps.

My point about you listening to the wrong music was not about analog vs digital. This was in reference to your statement,
"Music mastered in analog from the 50's-80's.... Music that really matters sounds best in analog form....tape or vinyl."

which sounded to me like you were saying that music that was not recorded between the fifties and eighties is not "music that really matters".

What I meant was that if you haven't heard any good music that was recorded after 1989, then you're listening to the wrong music, because a lot of good music has been recorded in the last 25 years. Does anyone disagree with that statement?

Here is a quote from my 1st reply to you,

I have no argument with people who prefer to spend their time tweaking their turntable to the max. That's just as legitimate a pursuit as anything I do. We can enjoy both analog and digital or one or the other. Whatever floats your boat.

So let's see the quotes where I or Charles1dad said anything negative about vinyl.

Blueranger,
maybe you'll remember the intensive discussions we had here some years ago on nearly all interesting analog subjects, MM vs. MC, vintage tables vs. modern ones, tonearm designs, geometry issues etc. I still think when rereading all these old threads you'll still find a lot of valuable information.
We also had intensive fights among some individuals, sometimes fought with deep emotions but also respect, side stories not related to audio.Very sadly I must admit I am missing this. Nevertheless it might be a different time now and format which will not support these intensive & deep exchanges - maybe today to the good.

Thuchan, you remind me of the time when Raul and Dertonarm were active here and discussing/arguing over each of their respective tonearm designs, as well as string drive, massive platters versus direct drive and belts.

Dertonarm got busy developing analog gear and moved on. I don't know whatever happened to Raul and his tonearm.

The forums were more lively with some big personalities. I kind of miss those discussions.
