Default Analog vs Digital- Again

This is rec.audio.high-end? Correct?
Too the average listener, he or she will not be able hear the difference
between analog or digital. And yes they are very happy with that. It's
just a simple fact. Yes, if you play a LP for them, they can hear a few
pops and clicks and tell which was the LP and which was the CD. Play a
analog recording on tape against a CD and you will hear a big
difference. My recording of Oh Brother Where Art Thou sounds completely
different on CD that it does on the LP. And those who have listened at
my house can hear the difference and like the LP better.
However, someone with a better "ear" can distinguish Red book from
Analog. Isn't that what High End Audio is about? If digital was better
than analog, why do studio's still record masters on Analog Tape instead
of DAT. Why do musicians still want wind instruments recorded on analog
tape instead of DAT.
Analog is what the human ear hears. It's natural with all the 3rd and
4th order harmonics the brain senses yet we can not hear.
Thank you

Interesting, but irrelevant to to the point of my previous post.
