No disrespect but in 2010 I dont think that argument still applies. Digital technology is quickly surpasses all forms of analog. When comparing the best of vinyl to the best digital copies (ogg vorbis flac, even nice mp3's) there is really no contest when played through the same set of speakers. The panning, and enveloping has gotten far more sophisticated on digital technology.

A great examlpe would be the old TUBE vs SOLID STATE amp debate. Sure 30, maybe even 5 years ago tubes were the only way to go when looking for a great natural sound; but today many experienced players can hardly tell the difference in blind sound tests.

In another 5 years I imagine that Solid State/Digital Representations of sound will continue to improve while anolog equipment goes farther behind.



Sorry about any grammatical error, I just got back from work and Im tired as hell.
