I now greatly prefer digital playback to analog, but in my case I simply don't LET a bad recording affect how I view the performance. I've heard TONS of shitty recordings, on both analog and digital--my colection has more than a few of them--but I still listen to many of them on a frequent basis. The lack of sound quality is a pretty minor concern to me where that's concerned. I'll take a great performance and bad sound quality over the converse every time. As far as why analog has this perceived quality of letting one "see" through a bad recording . . . well, this debate could rage on forever. I believe, after owning and hearing too many turntables to list, that analog playback has certain euphonic, "softening" distortions that many people find pleasing and that allow them to enjoy imperfect recordings. To each their own. I'll stick with my digital rig.
