Ok.
Analogue,
Wider and deeper soundstage. Coherent and fluid sound. Realism to vocals and instruments and the music fills the room. Nylon string guitars display harmonic nuances.
Digital - CD
Thinner, grainy sound. Sharp leading edges and less fluidity. Smaller soundstage.
Hi-Res files,
Somewhere in between the Vinyl and CD.
I definitely prefer HiRes files over CD.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Recently had a revox reel to reel in for repair, once completed, I did some recordings from a CD player direct onto tape, and I have to say; the tape version was way more satisfying to listen to than the original on CD!
I think where digital is concerned, there are elements in the final playback that our ear/brain find difficult/Fatiguing to make sense of, hence we get tired and iritable without realy knowing why.

A few of us have heard Alan T R2R playing recorded CD material and found exactly the same?Recently had a revox reel to reel in for repair, once completed, I did some recordings from a CD player direct onto tape, and I have to say; the tape version was way more satisfying to listen to than the original on CD!

Well I haven't. I'm not even sure if digital can replicate the organic sound of analogue. I'm happy to try though whereas before I was anti digitalBut I have that from CD (and records
How very interesting. I seriously think it's all about the missing bits in the waveform that the digital "guesses' at.Recently had a revox reel to reel in for repair, once completed, I did some recordings from a CD player direct onto tape, and I have to say; the tape version was way more satisfying to listen to than the original on CD!
