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.

Serus and Mmakshak, you're so close as I am in Fremont, CA.

Would you please pay me a visit with any cables or electronics (cost no object) you might possibly have, so we can end the

subject once and forever?

Regards,

I want to defend Tvad here. First, he posts a lot. Second, I believe that he gets more out of posts on audiogon than almost anyone. That is why, I believe, that he is insistent on people posting properly. I also suspect that he might actually be a well-respected reviewer for an audiophile publication(or should be). Also, a very interesting post, Jaybo.

Thanks, Mmakshak.

Way too much. :)

Actually, it's generally accepted practice to divulge one's affiliation with a manufacturer when posting a recommendation/review as it offers the reader some insight into potential bias that could influence a buying decision. Simple as that.

I wish someone on the Audiogon staff would explain why the editing feature appears on some threads and not on others. Damn, it's frustrating.

I wanted to edit this statement. I realize Mmakshak's just an Oritek customer, albeit one who personally knows and has visited the owner. I wanted to be clear on my meaning of "affiliation" as it applies in this instance.

Well the best argument I can think of is the fact that analog is still around. It's inconvenient, you need more components. You have to search hard for records without scratches, there's too much to go into just to get things right. CD you pop them in.

So, if digital could match it, there wouldn't be any TT's except for maybe the stuborn die hards. I hope that one day it can, so that I can stop buying record cleaner and stop replacing my cartridges.
