When is digital going to get the soul of music?

I have to ask this(actually, I thought I mentioned this in another thread.). It's been at least 25 years of digital. The equivalent in vinyl is 1975. I am currently listening to a pre-1975 album. It conveys the soul of music. Although digital may be more detailed, and even gives more detail than analog does(in a way), when will it convey the soul of music. This has escaped digital, as far as I can tell.

mr g, what evidence do you have that there is soul in a composition ? it is an opinion based upon your experience of listening to music. it is not knowledge.
let's not get too presumptious.

let's not get too carried away with an opinion. it is based purely on experience which does not yeild knowledge.

it may be an "educated" opinion, an "expert" opinion, but as an opinion it is neither true nor false. tha truth or falsity of an opinion cannot be ascertained.

a soul may be a part of ahuman being, spiritually speaking, but music having a soul, i think not--but thats just an opinion.

No MrT, it is evidence based on my experience as a composer.

>>You are overlooking the Teac Esoteric VRDS transport. The manufacturing on this unit is way ahead of what Pioneer were doing with the Stable Platter.<<

Agreed. The Esoteric transport is the standard by which all others should be measured. This is indisputable.

Guidocorona,

You make a good point and I mostly agree with what you said. I think the "soul" of the music results from a good collaboration or synergy between the composer and the artist. And if the recording engineer and the technology he employs can preserve this "soul," and the playback system can pass it with a minimum of distortion and alteration then the "soul" of the music is finally communicated to the music system listener.

mr g, you make a lot of statements but you provide no evidence for them. just because you are a composer, that doesn't excuse you from being prepared to backup your position.
