RE: Do you prefer the "background silence" of SS/Digital, or the that of Tubes/Analog?

When we first started using Dolby A in our studio in the late 1960's everybody felt that with the reduction of tape noise we were losing top end.
Yet when we measured high frequency performance nothing was being lost. Still, all our engineers always felt this psychological loss. We eventual stopped using Dolby in the studio for several reasons and started recording at 30ips instead of 15ips to get an improved signal to noise
