Anyone who worked in the recording industry when vinyl was the main
replay medium knows that the end result was frequently disappointment

analogue master tape either, compared to what he heard during the
recording. Good digital when it arrived was a revelation. Of course
that's not to say vinyl didn't give - and continues to give -
pleasure. But things move on. Sadly in the wrong direction with the
dreadful mastering of many current recordings.

There are plenty of lousy-sounding digital recordings -- too many mic
poorly placed, and too much electronics between the mic and the recorder.

Oh, digital doesn't guarantee a good end product. Just a faithful
reproduction of a lousy one.
