Vol IV No 8
An experience I had moments ago may be illustrative in regard to this digital vs. analog argument. I was listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 on 102.7 in Miami, which I know is digital because it says so in the closing credits: "digitally re-mastered." A Steely Dan song was playing when I tuned in and it sounded good - I couldn't tell it was digital. I experienced a momentary panic: "Maybe my whole ideology is mistaken!" Then I turn up the volume. Aha! In an all-analog version, the sound becomes richer and remains focused. Here it became obvious the sound was all shot through with idle speaker cone movement.
