I own some gear that in hindsight probably falls into the category of industry hype, IMO ... I have learned my lesson. I don't believe anything any company says about their products. I make my own decisions based on my ears and read every independent review I can find. Even reviews are usually biased a bit. The studio engineers on this forum who use the shit everyday have a good weight. It isn't too hard to tell the wannabe's from the real deal. It is preference in the end.
I like analog. I also like broccoli, ice bongs and motorcycles (not necessarily together or in that order). So what. I also own a few digital pieces that I wouldn't let go of.
The OP dropped the ball blaming it all on digital. The last line should have read.
Hyped crappy gear sucks! The sooner I understand this the better off I will be...
Bad marketing is a part of life that I wish we could do without. We have a huge Samsung sign in our neighborhood that literally lights up the whole night sky. I do my best to avoid their products, even though they probably make chips in gear that I own.
The OP was right about owning the real deal, IMO. It seems like he is pissed because he made some bad decisions that were costly in time and money. The analog road is fraught with peril too. But I like it and understand it. Sometimes you can have the best of both worlds. That is my approach and I see it with other slutz. You can have convenience and great sound. Just don't believe the hype.
