I agree, AND we must push the digital people to make available a digital format that exceeds anything analog offers.
I don't know how many times I've responded here at Audiogon with comments that digital could beat analog with technology available today. Problem is, downloading is a billion dollar business and LP and SACD together do not match it as a money maker.
We high end lovers are a limited market, and the big guys in the music business follow the money.
Analog is right here, right now and it works. Needle in groove has had 130 years to evolve, CD has had just over 20 years.
The best digital is still off in the future somewhere. No doubt there are some here at Audiogon that will live to see fabulous quality digital come to pass. However, I want the best sounding music tomorrow night when my group visits and I there are no big changes coming by then.
until we don't have a true commercial 24/192 digital technology the analog one will be the better one in quality sound reproduction and I think that the analog stay here for ever or at least till we own LP's.
What we need is to " push " to the analog manufacturers devices to make a better design efforts to give us a better audio devices performers.
