Re: Why are Vintage amps better than RI?
The digital and analouge thing is about bandwidth, a turntable can reproduce frequencies no cd-player can do yet.
It would demand a huge amount of processing power, making it a very expensive player.
And then it would probally not sound the same as the mechanics are extremely different from each other.
Then again at other stages it is the lo-fi thing that people dig with analouge tech.
Between analouge and digital delays, to use an example, the only really difference is that you can sometimes hear the clock from the analouge circuit when you bend a string...tiny whistles like birdsinging, but other than that you can simply filter your way out of it, just use a good sounding intrigated digital chip instead of a BBD chip, and I'll challenge anybody who can hear any difference!
Then there is the more tricky modulation effects, that will take some deeper effort to make the digital sound as pleasing as a good analouge one, actually I doubt that it can be done, I think that the digital ones should go and create their own sound footprint instead, because you can get some very cool sounds that way too, if you stop fooling around with the emulations that just sounds like well emulations.
As for solidstate amps...I think it can be done to make them sound very good.
