We have turned the argument on its head.Digital vs. analog LP....Digital vs. Reel to Reel.
The question should be perhaps... which format vs. real live music.
Personally, I couldn't give a hoot what the format is...so long as it sounds more like 'live' music to me. To start falling back on measurements ( which BTW begs the question..what are we actually measuring, and are we measuring EVERYTHING that the human ear is able to hear- and the brain then decode??? ) as a reason why a particular format is in one's "opinion" superior ( which BTW is all it ever is) is NOT a solid argument IMO.
This thread somehow reminds me of the time recently when a "supposed" a'phile insisted that the system he was hearing ( which included a digital front end and an analog front end) was better sounding yuan any "live" music that he had heard...
Let's get back to listening to music guys
Agreed.
Just a couple of unrelated points
I cannot wrap my had around the notion that we like things because of its faults rather than instead of them. That truly is the tails wagging the dog. It would be like arguing a woman married to handsome, rich and famous man likes him because he beats her. It makes no sense to me.
A result of a test that is statistically insignificant is inconclusive and proves nothing.
