  None of us ~
  
  hear the exactly same things, nor
  process sounds exactly the same way, nor
  append meaning to what we hear in an exactly similar fashion.
  
  So we don't agree. How could it be otherwise?
  
  While it's fair to assume you hear no difference or even detect an improvement (to your mind, which is the final arbiter), as I was trying to indicate to John Ellison elsewhere in this thread, the converse is true for others also. No one specific person's experience obviates another so none of us need feel fragile about any of this, surely?
  
  The digitally produced LPs I have can sound noteworthy but put me at one more step removed from the performance than analogue ones seem to do. To my ears/brain/musical acculturation. Notwithstanding the additional variables that are injected into the mix (pardon the pun) when albums are digitally remastered, I have my preference and you have yours - and neither of us are alone. :^)
  
  What might be more fun, is if we had more interest in the experience of others, rather than simply their anecdotal claims. But even interpretation of those encounters are fraught with complexity. C'est la guerre.

    I fail to understand what you mean by that statement, but I'm always interested in having more fun. Can you explain what you mean in more detail?
    
    Thanks,

    I have no preference one way or the other with respect to analog or digital mastering. In any given recording, either can sound best at least in my system and to my ears. It is impossible for me to make any blanket statements beyond that.
