Well, I do not think that you would see anywhere at my site trying to convince anybody. The only person I do try to convince is myself, and I might assure you that so far it was quite difficult task.

First things first. Yes I don't know specifics of FM recording, but what I know in general about recording is enough for me to conclude that sound processed threw converters A-D and back D-A is going to be ... well, processed. I'm talking about fundamental differences between analog and digital recording here.

Actually, Hyperborean, if you read my site, the multiple posts then you might come across to my comment that for me the definition of success of digital recording playback is to play my tuner loaded directly to amps and then inject the A/D and D/A to the signals and see no change in sound. Be advised that FM is dynamically compressed and frequency challenged and it look like it would not be too hard. However, FM has mind-boggling space and imaging that is VERY difficult to handle.

Second, we're not talking about direct to disk or direct feed from mic to tape or to digital recorder here, are we? So it is safe for me to assume (without learning about "benefits" of FM  broadcasting) that there are a lot of stuff between mic in front of musicians and recorder in your home. So, why even talk about dynamic range when you're using SE tube amps.

I am sorry, I do not follow what you are saying….

Now, the idea is wonderful never the less. I'm thinking to try that with my AKAI tape decks now, but I don't have a good tuner yet. But maybe I missed the point all along, it's just the thought of digital recording is making me shiver, seriously. You of course, can do what you please, but I still disagree. I strongly believe in the shorter signal path possible, that's all.

It is all depends if you have in Minneapolis a good station that Broadcast good music and good sound. Shell you do then if I were in your place then I would go unquestionable good digital. Stop by at your local pro shop and borrow over weekend for $100 Lavry A/D and D/A – it will give you an idea what digital is able of.
