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 agree with Johnnyturbo.
I have some LP's I love on my modest rig, and some CD's and SACD's that are equally as satisfying on my setup.
It is all good these days. :)

You might have better results by asking a therapy professional.

Actually I am a licensed therapy professional for 20+ years.
Tvad- you are correct. The manner in which the question is posed indicates one who is probably not really seeking insight, but rather confirmation of an already held view.
That is fine as long as one is not dogmatic that their view of the world is the absolute and correct one.

Analog/Digital - it is all good these days for the end user.
We are lucky as audiophiles.

Hmmm...
Odd thread that won't die here.
The old interminable and unresolvable LP versus digital car stereo argument. :)

FWIW, I have an Ecilpse car stereo CD player with Ecilpse separates.
Sounds fanastic.
I have a decent turntable front end which I truly enjoy.
I have a nice digital source I also really like.
I have a 20 Gig IPOD with wonderful 15$ Koss KSC 35
headphones which sounds great.
In the end it is about the music to me. All of the above do a great job.

If you truly dislike digital as a medium, then move along as there is another forum called Analog that might suit you better.
We here on the Digital forum generally enjoy digital.
If you are trolling, then you have wasted enough bandwidth for one thread.
Good luck.
