Really interesting discussion. I love the distortion and especially the modulation noise that classic reel-to-reel machines add to the sound, just like I love the distortion and background noise vinyl records bring to the table. Maybe they make up for things lost elsewhere in the chain. Dunno. I love the sound of well mastered high bitrate large bit depth files bring to the table. Different for sure, but awesome nonetheless.

Who's to say what's right, when all three, when they're done well, sound so good?
