A pure analog recording can be superior to digital recordings. But those are so rare these days, we don't have a good comparison.
There's things like "bass bleed" and cross talk that made analog so interesting to listen to.
As long as the original recording is 48kHz or higher, digital recordings are awesome. We might not be able to hear beyond the 20Hz - 20kHz, you can most certainly feel it. Especially in the lower end.
Someone hasn't heard of the Nyquist theorem :)
Yes. Yes I have. It's why I state 48kHz or higher due to the halving effect. 44.1kHz will only get you to 22kHz and 18Hz. Not a whole different than what ours can hear. 44.1kHz was the standard for CDs due to size limitations but we're well beyond that now.
