I favor blind tests, long term tests. I remember at the CAS 2010 show, in one room they played several digital versions of Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby". Yes, each higher res digital version was superior. As it happened, I had a vinyl record of "Waltz for Debby" and got them to play the same cut. The analogue was so superior to the highest digital version that several listeners broke out in laughter! Better micro and macro dynamics, detail, and, of course, tonality. Music is, and always will be, analogue. Digital systems have to convert that original analogue sound to digital bits, and, then, after manipulating those bits in trillions of ways, have to reconvert those bits back to analogue (as real, live humans only hear analogue)!!! What a waste of time! My favorite room at the CAS 2011 was using analogue tape as a source. This was in the Sonist room, where the total cost of the system was quite modest!
