By the way, if you want to set off a flame-athon, tell the all-analog-to-vinyl crowd that digital is 
"higher resolution" than that tape master. The topic is debatable, but I doubt anyone could win a 
credible argument on the statement that tape recording is closer to output=input than modern 
high-resolution digital. That said, there are listeners, careful listeners with good ears, who 
PREFER the distortions introduced by tape (and vinyl). A personal preference, however, is not an 
argument for what is objectively "better."
