When is digital going to get the soul of music?

D_Edwards, thank you very much for your input. I believe that people(including myself) need to re-read what you just said. Guidocorona, you have very good points. I have to mention that I believe that you need to have analog(pre-1982) to enter this debate.

Thank you makshak for the reminder. Yes, I have analog LPS from 1949 to 1984. I shelved it in 1984 and moved on.

"I have to mention that I believe that you need to have analog(pre-1982) to enter this debate."

I have 2500+ records, I'd have 7,500 but I gave or threw 5000 away a few years back. I have setup over 200 analog systems and have owned excellent analog rigs. (SOTA, Star Saphire, Saphire, Cosmos, VPI HW-19IV, ET2, SME, Premiere, Wheaton, Grado, Micro Benz, Monster, Sumiko, Clear Audio, Roksan, EAR, Audio Research, Audible Illusions, Mod Squad, Motif Linn, Van den hul, Ortofon, Technics.

I know exactly what you're talking about, and so do I. So does Harvard University School of Medicine and Bell Labs.

I still don't know what speakers you are using. Very important. As important as my ownership of analog from pre-1982.

Hopefully my resume measures up, to qualify me for this continuing debate.

+ of course many of them are from before 1982. And all of my Cd's are from after 1983. :)

PS: On the Cd transport comment, on a whole there were more choices for High End transports a missing nuance to my comment and the basis. Why is there no serious competition for the VRDS? This is a problem don't you think? Thanks for the correction

Have a good one.

Mrt, are you sure you understand what you are writing???
Nice Day

Don't bother paul, MRT is just unleashing a bunch of mechanical froggies in the audiopond. He just enjoys the spectacle of the audiocarps frantically chasing after all those useless toys. (Chuckles!)
