I LOVE McIntosh amps. Trouble is, they hold onto their value so well. Those 70's amps are as expensive as new ones. As for digital sound, I prefer analog. I work with digital because in the post business digital offers the advantage of not losing generations (as long as you stay digital). However, the standard medium of recording the actual sound on the film set is with 1/4 inch analog tape on a Nagra tape recorder. DAT is making inroads, but it is more unreliable, prone to dropouts, and doesn't offer the forgiving nature that Nagras do. Analog just sounds so sweet- Not harsh like digital. Also, even with all of the digital sound technology available today, the most preferred way of recording music in the studio to this day is --guess what? Analog tape (2 inch). Even with all of the latest advancements, the best way to listen to and play back any audio recording is with an analog reel to reel tape machine. Personally, I don't see how Clique or Flash can make that much money simply because one can theoretically use them over and over. Take some pictures, bring them to Kodak for processing, get your Clique disk back, and use it again. Where is the requirement to buy more that powers the current film industry?
