Analog or Digital and why?


Computers don't make very good guitars. Back in the 90's the debate raged with digital people saying one day digital will get so good, records will become obsolete. Well it's 25 years later and, well the digital thing never happened and analog never sounded better. However you got to remorgage your house. And buy records.

"What’s this either/or crapola?
Too much like religion or politics.
Bloody useless."

It’s the world of one for whom life is endless labor in an economy of prestige and self affirmation. All social exchange becomes an opportunity to gain esteem and fill a deficit, at a cost to others. The zero sum game replaces sharing and exchange. There is only what is right and superior, all else is worthless and wrong.


Thank you for sharing your wisdom, master daj.  Say, would you please go over to the Tekton Design Moab thread and have a chat with millercarbon?
According to The RIAA, analog music sales (vinyl, tape, etc.) made up about 5% of music sales last year. The rest was digital, mostly streaming, but also downloads and CDs. Many of the LPs were sourced from digital masters.

LPs will be around for a while, but new recordings to tape are the exception not the rule. Digital recording and playback continue to improve and sooner or later will be considered to offer the best sound quality available by all but the most die-hard vinyl enthusiasts. That’s how I see it anyway.
