RE: Speaking of logic

Frankly, my argument is poor/poorly made and laden with shortcuts.

Nevertheless, in essence the thinking is that if digital recording is perceived to be so transparent, why bother with another delivery format in the first place? This does not account for historical availability, sheer experimentation, nor a listener's predilection for making digital copies of their analogue material for whatever purposes they want - as perverse as that may seem to some (like me).

I grew up with the notion that unnecessary generative activity takes one further away from fidelity. Or, the more processes one inserts between the event and reproduction, the further away one gets. That there will be losses along the way, no matter how small or insignificant/crucial. Perhaps that's an unfashionable idea now, and digital is without peer.
