Dan you are missing the point. Some folks, myself included, do not want it in digital. We want ALL analog. Apparently you don't agree but we believe that it is more realistic that way. There is always something lost in the A to D conversion. There is a reason why the most sought after, expensive albums are an all analog chain.
is there a market?
Is their a large enough market within the audiophile community and music lovers alike to start a recording company that recorded primarily jazz and classical music the right way? Is there a chance to capture the great orchestras of america in a totally analog process from start to finish just like they did back in the fifties? I would think many orchestras would jump at the opportunity to be part of the effort to be recorded like the great orchestras were in the mid 20th century. Is there still equipment in existence and engineering know how to make this happen? There certainly is a renewed interest in vinyl and the sound it produces even if it is done digitally. How about the real thing?
