[LAU] Off-topic: "A look at how the Behringer Model D compares with the Minimoog"

[Paul Davis]

this is more audiophile-level woo.

virtually nobody alive can tell the difference between a good digital
recording and an analog one. those who think they can will rarely (if ever)
agree to double blind testing.

there can certainly be things about analog equipment that are hard or
impossible to capture with a digital equivalent.

but to claim that the recording process is the source of audible
differences? even if this might have been true of the earliest days of
commercial digital recording, it isn't true anymore.
