it's not purely an emotional thing though. there's a reason why, if you step into any high end recording studio, they are still using mic pres, eq's, etc., from the 60's and 70's, myself included.

(Jul 13 06, 13:56)I have been to recording studios many times in order master my own music, or collaborate with other musicians. Regarding compressors/ microphones/ amps / distortion gear, or even analog synths (as oposed to AU/VST ones) bring a specific character to the track, (same thing happens with sampled based music) but that is another thing.
Roland RE-150 / NS-10s / etc are still used today on many tracks in order to add character and subjetivity to a track, (portishead roads for example) but that has little to do with high resolution audio.
"Audiophiles widely share the belief that even the world's best music-reproduction equipment currently falls far short of this ideal."
someone said earlier that in order to make dnb, you need to spend 1200 in studio gear.
I do not agree with that, I still preffer my home studio speakers rather than expensive close range monitors, because I already know how my sistem sounds in an out, I know it's flaws, I know that over powers my lows, and I know how to over come it on the production stage in order to make it sound right.
That doesn't mean they sound better than pro monitors, I just prefer their sound over high end ones. :)
