Well, that's just not been my experience. As far as assurance that it's the digital medium, the best I can do is take the LP vs the CD of the same performance, realizing that different masters could have been used.What's always missing on the CD version is the ambiance of the acoustical space - the overtones and decay of the note. Instruments sound less like themselves. I have always felt that this is due to the medium (discrete sampling of a continuous event, with numerical approximations filling in the space between the samples). These kinds of tonal and spatial differences should be consistent even if different masters are used.
Oh, before you ask, the digital and anolog equipment is of comparable quality. I use an Accuphase DP-75 CDP and the Koetsu/Graham/Linn/Lingo/Mana combo into the Aesthetix Io phono preamplifier.
