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.

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.

I guess these discussions must get personal? Boa2, I like how you signed yours with Aires. It seems like if one doesn't like the message, we kill the messenger? I'm not sure I'm putting out a message. I also think that it's about time a discussion like this takes place.

What I meant Boa2 was that the top ten interconnects were going to heavily favor older ones that have been superceded recently. I wanted to give a balance to someone who might use the answers for a purchase decision.

Let me disclose my personal relationship with Ori of Oritek Audio. I went to his house to purchase a pair of X-1's. I spent 3 hours listening to his system while waiting out rush hour. I then emailed him a bit, mostly criticizing his X-1's in my system. This turned out to be interaction problems with my Signal Cable Silver Resolution interconnects. He emailed me, saying if you want your PRAT, my X-2's have it. I went to buy them, and spent about 2 hours listening to his system while having my Nuforce's updated. I've emailed him since, raving about their sound. Is that a personal relationship?

"The old interminable and unresolvable LP versus digital car stereo argument." Lkdog, that's great! I didn't chose to put the forum here. Maybe the use of the word digital caused it to be put here?
