Analog or Digital and why?

Right. How could anyone really have anything to say until they've spent a million or so? Just one question. If I spend a hundred million and say digital is better does that carry more authority? Or less? What exactly is the proportionality of money spent to authority achieved?  

Its good some are happy listening only to digital. This is why they are happy. I was happy with digital too, when all I listened to was digital. Then one day made the mistake of listening to a record. Took a while. Playing a record takes skill. You don't just push a button. Records aren't perfect. They're fragile, noisy, and temperamental. No two ever sound quite the same. 

They also have a magical quality digital cannot touch. That's why people defending digital always take an engineering approach, or the modern music approach, or any of a dozen other irrelevant arguments, all of which have in common the defensive fear of the 800 pound gorilla in the room, it just doesn't sound as good. There's no there there. 

We all know it. And really, its fine. Times myself I just want some sound without having to worry about cue up at the end, have it go on for 40 or more minutes instead of 15, and so on. 

When listening to my iPod I don't complain that its not a record. That would be silly. There's plenty of times something halfway decent will do, and digital is tailor made for just those times. 

Just please don't go all crazy trying to say its up there with analog. I mean seriously. Even Joe Biden would say, "Come on, man!"

Analog, because.... music!
