I'm talking about fundamental differences between analog and digital recording here.
This is a very valid point. You are quite correct, but I think it is important to recognize the differences and evaluate these compared to the requirements of human perception. At a certain point of refinement, the two will be indistinguishable. Also, each has its strengths and weaknesses. But it is important to understand, we are not just talking about some Sony DAT or something. To get an idea, look at this thread or this one.

Second, we're not talking about direct to disk or direct feed from mic to tape or to digital recorder here, are we?
No, but I believe the topic of the this discussion is How to record an FM Broadcast, so those are the ground rules.

So, why even talk about dynamic range when you're using SE tube amps. Now, the idea is wonderful never the less.
Absolutely. Totally correct for most conditions, but the DSET approach directly addresses these concerns.

Nevertheless, the concerns are absolutely valid ones. It is just that they have already been dealt with. THAT is the big caveat. Given that your system deals with these issues, THEN you read this FM thread in this context I think.

I am not trying to pick apart your argument, because I actually think you are correct, but you no not have the additional information to realize why this thread is not crazy talk.
