I love the sound — the feeling — of analogue. That's the flat-out, short answer. But let me continue for a bit:For recording analogue I already have some good cassette tape machines, including a Nakamichi. For source I use an old Micro TT with the venerable MC Denon DL- 301 cart. In addition there are some restuffed tuners from decades ago. They pull in analogue broadcasts of material from NHK's vast archive and their live transcriptions from Tokyo and elsewhere. Those who don't know what good tuners can do with good broacasting perhaps will not be convinced, but trust me; it's good!
I llike analogue sountrack on the older movies. And for my ears, and perhaps because our DVD gear is not the best, the MP2/MP3 track on DVD does not come up to what the Mitsubishi Hi-Fi VCR can do on the family rig. Any LP transcription I intend to do on the intended VCR will be icing on the cake. The main thing is to watch and LISTEN to video cassettes in bed.
There are four CD players here — Marantz, Denon, NAD and a rare prosumer Kenwood, but it's the vinyl and tapes I love to relax to. Have you ever heard good LP on video cassette tape? I heard a lot of it years ago. Most of it was from excellent gear including a Linn TT. In a word — stunning!
And just so I don't get wacked by wackers — I know that analogue is not better. I just like it as a matter of individual taste.
I appreciate the question and thought it deserved a careful answer. Now if I can just find that tape of Lawrence of Arabia — just gotta hear T.E. kick over that Vee-Twin Brough Superior and start up the country lane!
