Notice that none of the original contributors to this thread are still chiming in! Good thing, the spelling and grammar was almost unreadable. Personally, I don't get all the fuss about this. If you read any of these threads long enough, it's apparent people who listen to music and write on threads are very interested in other people's opinions! Even when it starts out helpful, ultimately all these threads turn into pissing wars and the love fades into ego bashing. Or, someone is trying to sell us something that's better than we could imagine on our own. I mean really, what is the "soul" of the music. That's so vague. I think too many people believe they are missing something in thier music experience that's not there unless you believe it's there. And there are so many choices, does someone think they have absolutely put together the ultimate system! At some point, it's time to put the checkbook away and sit down and listen to the music. The soul is in the decision to hear what is satisfying, and it's there as soon as you think it is. It's pretty funny to read through these long threads and try to remember what the hell the original topic is, although this one is still on track, it's tainted with selfish motives and closed mindedness, and there is no soul in that, digital or analog!
As for digital, it is by far a satisifying experience with plenty of " soul" , and obviously it is just getting going. The only problem is there are so many
brilliant people improving the format there has become a gluttanty of pathways to choose. If there was a gathering of all these resources and a consensus of all this brilliance, then the soul would surely shine.
