  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've been away and haven't noticed this tread before so a big caveat - I haven't read all of the posts and I'm confident someone has already asked the question - but, what the hell is the "soul of music" as it's related to audio replication of a recorded event.

If a piece of music touches my soul I would be as touched if it were on a '78 or an SACD. I would be listening to the composition and the performance to find its "soul", not how good it sounded over my audio system. I'm not against great audio reproduction, in fact its one of my hobbies. I've just never though of it as being the the source of "the soul of music".

I'll go back under the bridge now............:-)
