    "Most people think of an audio system as an electrical device. It would be more accurate to call it a magnetic device. Electricity powers the components, but it's magnetism that makes the music. It is a magnetic force that moves your speakers, causing them to vibrate and create sound. "

    What if you happen to use electrostatic speakers and a non-electrodynamic cartridge (such as: piezoelectric; or strain gauge; photoelectric, or variable capacitance device)?

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
