Hearing is more than "subjective" it's in strata. In other words, some people think that today's digital sounds great, some live with it, and some are turned off. This is similar to how people hear music, some hear through composition, some hear through vibration, some hear both in a balance that still favors composition or vibration ever so slightly.
A chart might be:
Composition ------------ balance ------------ Vibration
The (theoretical) people on the right listen through vibe and enjoy amp tone/new age/ emo/languidity while the (theoretical) people on the left primarily listen to structure, and thus enjoy songwriters/classical/pop. In reality we all fall in between but favor one side.
So if analog harmonics are your thing and you use tape and a desk and outboard ... then there you are, at home. And if you're George Massenberg, clean pres with digital is your home.
You sound like a tape guy. thumbsup
There's nothing like the sound of a CD that was well recorded to great analog, mixed through analog to tape, mastered with great outboard ... and ONLY gets converted at the last stage of mastering.
There is nothing like the sound of a well recorded ITB recording either.
There is nothing like the sound of a well made Radar -> Console recording either.
Take your pick ...
