Yeah, and who wants that? I know I don't.
We're not talking about 5% distortion on everything with a -50dBV noise floor. A little harmonic and intermodulation distortion is a good thing (and even a tiny bit of noise!), but most of that is going to come from the outboard and especially tape. Nothing beats the sound of a console and tape, and I used to record only digitally so that's not where I came from....it's where I went TO.

This is true....but it's amazing the deals that can be had on the more off brand analog consoles these days that aren't a Neve, API or SSL (the good Ameks, later Soundworkshop [modify them, which is easy], later MCI, Trident TSM & 80, Neotek, etc) for 20 cents on the dollar.
