Your Right, they could not agree with your philosophy, as twisted as it is, im not certain any digital drive inmate could.

Here is something for you to digest;

The original signal is the reference signal which in this case it is analog. You then convert an analog reference to a digital copy then compare it back to the reference. The differences are noted. ANY difference that deviates from the original(reference) would in fact be DISTORTION. So if the best digital process made the analog reference "sound better then analog" then that noted difference would actually be a form of distortion - one that you seem to think people prefer!

That is why the author said "laughable".

The idea when copying music is to re-create the original(reference). The closest you get to the original the better the process is - does not matter if it is digital or analog.

AUDIO 101; Lesson 1 - It is impossible to improve on the original sound by trying to duplicate it. Lesson 2 - Distortion is never a good thing - even if YOU percieve it as so.
