I liked how somebody was dissing it because " analog will always be better than digital"

together with some random bullshit explanation.

Finally! Now I finally know what I want to be when I grow up! I want to be a government-funded audio archivist!

depends on the technique used to record the source and what the source, or sources are.

as you probably realize, using a laser (or a digital head) defeats the purpose of imaging an analog source stricly from an acoustical purity standpoint of reproduction.

in this case, a laser is used for destruction free archival.
