Is Digital actually better than Analog?

I just purchased an Esoteric DV-50s. The unit is fantastic in the sense that you can hear every detail very clearly in most recordings. Here is the thing, does it make for an enjoyable musical expereince? With this type of equipment, you can actually tell who can actually sing and who can really play. Some artist who I have really enjoyed in the past come across as, how shall I put it, not as talented. This causes almost a loss of enjoyment in the music. Which comes to my Vinyl curiousity. I dont own a single record, but I have been curious why so many have kept the LP's (and tubes for that matter) alive for so long after the digital revolution and now I am thinking it is probably has to do with LP's being more laid back and maybe even more musical. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Would someone recommend going back to Analog. I was thinking of getting a entry level player like a Scout Master.

Having owned your DV-50S, yes, analog is better, no question. However, it does take much more work to set up properly, and keep the LP's clean. If you have any doubt's, drop by again, when I have time, and I'll be happy to demo my analog rig. :-) Cheers, John Jmcgrogan2  (Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread) 10-03-06   My goal is to have both analog and digital rigs sound as clo ...   Psychicanimal 10-03-06   Digital vs analog is something of a religious debate in audi ...   Seandtaylor99 10-03-06   I recently swore off digital verses vinyl threads. i took th ...   Mikelavigne 10-03-06   It's really a philosophical difference. i describe the diff ...   Nsgarch 10-03-06   Mikelavigne, what kind of response was that? i do care ...   Musicaudio 10-03-06   Musicaudio, in defense of mike lavigne, i really don't think ...   Nsgarch 10-03-06   Up until a month ago i was a firm believer that analog vinyl ...   Onhwy61 10-03-06   Musicaudio; point taken. if i could remove the "who the ...   Mikelavigne 10-03-06   No. they are just different formats. one is not superior to ...   Newbee 10-03-06   I love the vinyl sound. in my opinion we hear in analog and ...   Theo 10-03-06   Digital is about convenience, not musicality. lp is a compro ...   Ncarv 10-03-06   "digital is a broken stairstep; analog is a continuous ...   Seandtaylor99 10-03-06   Sean, it seems to me that ncarv knows the theory very well. ...   Nrchy 10-03-06   Nrchy, you are wrong. digital is only a broken stairstep if ...   Seandtaylor99 10-02-06   But, re analogue waveforms and analogue wiggles in groves... ...   Tarsando 10-02-06   Everything said is accurate. analog is more work. both can b ...   Petland 10-03-06   Tastes change. i went from a krell setup that as i used all ...   Jjmali 10-02-06   In my opinion a high quality(doesn't mean super expensive) p ...   Nrostov 10-03-06   I went from digital-only to analog-only about 4 years ago. i ...   Pauly 10-03-06   The answer is yes and no. some vinyl is better than the same ...   Emilg1955 10-03-06   Ncarv, from the basic dna level, i guess it could be argued ...   Yr44 10-03-06   Another thing: analog cannot be said as infinite sampling, t ...   Yr44 10-03-06   Well, digital became better but it is still like having a sh ...   Thomasheisig 10-03-06   Digital is better than analog because it's newer and uses co ...   Tarsando 10-03-06   I own both high end analog and digital front ends as i find ...   Audiofeil 10-03-06   Hey pawlowski, i probably do need to relax, i probably ...   Musicaudio 10-03-06   Not everyone is the same as you.   Aball 10-03-06   back to 6th grade study hall, i see. ...buy and listen t ...   Tvad 10-03-06   Audiofeil you got my vote.   Vegasears 10-03-06   If a scoutmaster is entry level for you,please buy and send ...   Mar00 10-03-06   Ok here is all i know i have a very modest vinyl system and ...   Artizen65 10-04-06   The interactive nature of record collecting and listening ju ...   Jaybo 10-05-06   I usually listen to cd's but vinyl is fun to mess with, and ...   Wildoats 10-05-06   In our audio groups is a fellow with a monster goldmund tabl ...   Duomike 10-05-06   Is anyone else getting mental images of audiofeil physically ...   Dan_ed 10-05-06   Rotflmao. what a great sense of humor. love it!   Newbee 10-05-06   If you only use two channels it really doesn't matter. so w ...   D_edwards 10-06-06   Vinyl wins here. i have no ceedees that sound better than vi ...   Artemus_5 10-06-06   Funny, highend equipment's ability to expose faulty or &quo ...   Queg 10-07-06   Dear musicaudio: +++++ " i dont own a single record, b ...   Rauliruegas 10-07-06   Good answer raul.   Seandtaylor99 10-09-06   Thanks to everyone and their responses on this forum. it's i ...   Musicaudio 10-09-06   You're welcome.   Pawlowski6132 10-10-06   "the esoteric, you can make out every detail with ease ...   D_edwards 10-10-06   ten years from now? ever heard of quadraphonic? ever hear ...   Psychicanimal 10-10-06   “its scientifically proven adding rear channels is the best ...   Pauly
