"lots of analog enthusiasts think, that analog reproduction is automatically better than everything else. That's a mistake, I listened to countless analog set ups which were simply nothing special"
That is a fact. The vast percentage of playback systems back in the golden age of vinyl were quite poor. Many more were mediocre. Only a few were really good. And a large % of records produced over the years aren't all that hot either!
That's why it gets my goat a bit when someone argues that a particular format is categorically better than another. There are too many things that go into good sound otherwise that matters to even consider making such statements realistically.
