Now some time later with further advancement in digital playback time to revisit the debate. Running a State of the Art analog and digital front end now.
The differences have narrowed to a point that Digital playback now has the edge over analog. My main beef was never tonality. It was harmonics and harmonic decay of note. That has changed. I find it equal with same quality recording on either format. I hear the harmonic of a Piano decay with weight now, Analog always had that advantage. Bass is better focused and deeper with Digital. Digital has zero surface noise, clicks or pops. Analogs given 3D sound stage has been equaled as well.
So do the list. One list of advantages and one list of disadvantages. Yes until now I liked analog more. Vinyl or Digital enjoy your music.
