When is digital going to get the soul of music?

I just got back from Alphifi's...He may be selling these interconnects. They deserve to be heard. They definitely gave me pause for thought.

...back in the day, the Linn way of PRAT helped me know what to look for. Today with digital, PRAT is almost a given, but I think it helps to have some way of evaluating what is better.

But, what about the soul of the music?

And, if I may so ask, did you still experience 'tension' while listening to Alex's fine digital wares?
Finally, which interconnects did you enjoy best, APL's or your beloved Oritek X2s? and Why?

I want to apologize Aplhifi, for misspelling your name, and thanks for having me over there. I also heard that DVD-A disc that Aplhifi made, and my comment was "this sounds like analog vinyl". I did notice that the most natural sounding discs were originally recorded in analog. That would be an Elvis Pressly recording, a Nat King Cole made by Reference Recordings, plus that DVD-A Aplhifi recorded. This might related to what Jlambrick and the guy who recommended Mapleshade's cd's were saying. C5150, this might relate to your point. Discussions are good.

Sorry about the doubling of the same post. The point that Aplhifi was saying about the digital recording mechanism not being that much of a problem, might have been proven by that DVD-A disc that he recorded.
