When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Mapmann, I start my morning with the "What's Going On" cd(issued 2003). Remember, that was recorded in analog originally. I do think that people recognize there is something too clinical with digital. Guidocorona, the AMA is a political organization, and is dedicated to protecting MD's interests(Although, I read something recently about the AMA selling those interests to the insurance companies.). Actually, the head of the AMA tried to buy the original Rife Machine. Has anyone heard the HRx system from Reference Recordings(as mentioned in the recent issue of Absolute Sound)?

Makk, I hope to see before long an audiophile-grade version of the Rife machine offered by Machina Dynamica.

That would be something to see, Guidocorona! It would have to be all silver, with pebbles placed at appropriate locations.

Wadia 581se seems good to me.

I just recently got my analog(Linn Sondek, Ekos, nude Archiv, Lingo, Mana table, Lehmann Black Cube SE) going. It seems to me that if you listen deeply, digital has an end, or something, to the sound(dither?), and analog doesn't. With analog, all you have is the instrument sound, and nothing else. Now, I have heard digital recordings of analog where it seems there is no difference(from Alex of APL), but I no longer have access to these. I will be going to BAAS's session this month where we will compare live versus recorded(both analog and digital). Cookie, who owns her own recording studio and is hosting this session, claims that you have to record to 3 1/2 inch analog tape to get proper sound. I don't know if I've stated this before, but I have the following theory: With analog, you have the iron(?) particles lining up(or changing)due to music. And with digital, you have the recording mechanism imposing(you fit into my one's and zero's-or else..) itself on the music. Maybe that's the difference?
