No - it really IS just geezer nostalgia. ;-)
So analogue playback is growing by leaps and bounds? From half a percent of the market to one and a half percent? As Fremer would say, "Wow! A 200% increase!" As I've said before, a large portion of the analogue listening audience is stuck in time - acting as if nothing has happened in music (or engineering!) since, say, 1985.
I would also point out that SACD is by no means the only way to access multi-channel music, with an ever increasing number of multi-channel PCM downloads now available which dispense with the additional conversion step from PCM (the format of the master for companies such as BIS, Chandos, etc.) to DSD (with its additional noise in the ultra high frequencies) which a release on SACD necessitates. I'm particularly excited about the availability of multi-channel BIS recordings via PCM downloads now, and I'll be posting a follow-up on this topic very soon. For me, hi-rez PCM gives me access to a level of definition, realism and clarity that analogue just doesn't approach.
Nevertheless, I'd still be interested in what analogue recordings you think trump (sorry for the political reference!) anything on digital. jdaniel has provided a couple of examples, and it might be fun, even enlightening for the rest of us to hear a few examples from you too.
