Arguments without much substance. I'm still not convinced and I'm young with great hearing. I wish I could vote down this story.

  Particularly dissing all of digital recording based on comparing a Bowie LP (engineered to be an LP) with a compressed version of the same music, presumably ripped from a CD pressing. I don't know anything about that particular album, but the world is full of old albums that were poorly transferred to CD in the rush to get CDs out in the early days. Many of which were then re-released on CD using crappy over-compressed mastering 15 years later so they would "sound better". You want to do a fair analog versus digital comparison? Play that record album on that uber-fancy stereo and record it using a high-end digital recorder patched into the system. (You can get excellent ones for less than the price of his freaking power cord.) Then compare playing back that digital recording with playing the album.
