We all hear analog. We hear ANALOG wave forms. Music and sound in itself is created by vibrations. That's motion energy, not light energy. Digital uses 1's and 0's to create data (that, in CD's may I add, is compressed to 16/44.1khz which isn't recording quality) and light energy to get a signal which is then converted to analog. With analog, it is created with analog wave forms and played back using simple, mechanical vibration, just like how an instrument is played. It isn't converted, compressed, and then converted back. Don't get me wrong, CD's are alright and I've been stunned by some SACD's, it's just not as real and as musical as vinyl.
