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:
that was at least as expensive as my analog stuff.I don't have high-end analog gear by any stretch of the imagination, but I had the opportunity to compare my CD player (ARCAM CD73) and a loaner (ARCAM FMJ-CD33) to my old analog stuff. Its no shock since I hang around here what I'll say next, but my preference for the analog front-end is not based on bias of any sort. It just sounds better.
Like many of the other vinylphiles here, I tried digital when it was released. I found myself unable to tolerate listening sessions I once found routine. After I returned to analog the long listening sessions returned. You could argue that digital has greatly improved over the years (especially in the past 10 yrs), but even my recent model ARCAM experience leves me cold toward digital. I still can't enjoy it for any length of time.
Perhaps its just my rotten ears, but I've got a lot of company around here that relay similar experiences.
