In Reply to: Precentage Thread Below - It's pretty obvious why your guys prefer Analog to Digital posted by Balance on December 4, 2005 at 08:29:26:
even somewhat costly ones stop working for one reason or another and then the transports are no longer available. repair costs exceed the original value of the players.yes, there are some VERY reliable ones out there but many of us have had them fail at one time or another. this i only one factor.
i embraced digital somewhat early on but never thought of dumping my music collection, and i also didnt want to have the experience of those that dumped their tubed equipment early on for ss.
as time wore on, i felt that the sound of vinyl was ultimately superior, problems and all.
then i bought the sony ns500v entry level dvd/sacd/cdp so as to give sacd a try. sacd was fine right out of the box. then i came to realize that the RBCDs were sounding way better than i EVER expected using the sony.
this flies in the face of all i was reading on the net about cheeeep dvdps not sounding good with cd. now i buy more RBCD product (mostly because new music is mostly not on vinyl nor sacd).
as good as the sound has gotten, i still marvel how much better vinyl sounds and is RELAXING AND SATISFYING. those last words in caps are a key. rbcd is not those things. and it is not something you can detect in an A/B test of short duration.
i have made this suggestion to skeptics who much later (months) come back to me and remind me of that statement and indicate their strong concurrence. these are not audiophiles but average people that dont have huge amounts of cash tied up in either format.
i have been privy to some VERY nice digital reproduction equipment and none of it has R&S although it was certainly musical and entertaining.
so analog and digital co-exist in my system and will continue to do so for a LONG time.
