This thread has become tainted with an "analogue=better" mantra/line of thinking. The reality - shocking though it may be - is that analogue is not "better" (in any objective sense) than correctly engineered digital. In fact the opposite is true. Some people might prefer certain peculiarities of analogue but this has nothing to do with "better". I myself used to be fond of my LP12...
When Chris (for whom I have great respect) said it sounded more analogue, I immediately formed a mental image of how it sounded... smoother, more relaxed/at ease, less "edgy"... but that's only because when people say "analogue" that's what they most often mean (if they mean anything at all). It's an unfortunate turn of phrase because "more analogue" strictly speaking also means noisier, less dynamic, less pitch-stable, more distorted etc etc... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
