Fremer has an ego, and he can be a bit of an ass, that's for sure.
I thought the article you linked to was a good one. I enjoyed reading the comments as well. Some really sharp people posting there. Thanks for that.
On the digital v analog debate: There is room for both formats in an audio system. I even have a really good cassette recorder/player in mine. My take is, why not enjoy all formats?
I have to admit, when I really want to get immersed in the music from an emotional standpoint, I go to my vinyl records. There is just more "there there."
Digital is really good. I listen to it most of the time. But ... an excellent record played on an excellent vinyl rig is not just good ... its great. The problem is, and Fremer nailed it in the article, in order to hear what is "great" about vinyl, a mega buck outlay is necessary. Most people are not willing to do that. Also, the storage problem comes into play as well.
