When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Guidocorona, you make a valid point. I believe there is much more variability in digital(I'm sensitive to the point where parts of my body tense-up with certain digital stuff-obviously this is not something we should associate with music!). For instance, my friend bought two cd's recently-Led Zepplen 4 and a Beck album. The Led Zepplin cd made me want to listen to the analog album(My cd player is being updated.). The Beck album tensed my upper left side of my body. Is this what I should associate with music? That's the part I don't get.

Mak, I would drop digital all together and stick to analog if I were you. Tension in left upper part of body may be an early sign of cardiac muscle distress.

Guidocorona, I believe, with me, you hit the nail on the head. I do believe that I have health problems.

Wow! I just got back my APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910. I can't believe it. I've only listened to Led Zepplin's, "Houses of the Holy", which I'm not too familiar with, and Neil Young's, "Decade". Let me tell you, I couldn't tell "Decade" from my analog set-up(which is no slouch-Linn, Ekos, nude Archiv, Lingo, and Mana Sound Table). I actually went to my turntable three times while listening to "Decade". Once, when I went to the bathroom, to see where on the record the needle was. I also went to take the arm off the record when the cd was done. I understand that a lot of cd has to do with recording quality. My current understanding is that analog to digital is good, and that later cd's are much better recorded. But, who wouldn't like analog sound with a remote?
