Aside from that, there've been on and off discussions for a long time regarding analogue (eg:vinyl, tape, etc.) vs digital audio recording(s) with both sides having frequently polarised opinions. I run 16trks of dedicated h/disk and 16 trks of 1" tape and have come to appreciate the pros and cons of each and to be honest and kinda quoting Jethro Tull, "they're two different animals living jungles apart". Digital is convenient, analogue can be comprehensively, more "accurate".
Two past "studies" that are potentially interesting are...........:
One studying the recorded frequency response of the same segment of music when recorded to both digital and analogue. Spectrograph pics attached.
Following on from this is the other, the results of a detailed study into brain activity when exposed to both analogue and digitally recorded music. The general conclusion was that above the audible hearing range which is ~ 20kHz and below, other bodily "systems" sense the higher frequencies and we have a "positive" reaction to these higher frequencies.

Thanks for the spectros', quite informative. never seen the difference before to understand why it is. Fascinating ,....
I think collectively we are a bunch of rev-heads, welcome to the club ..
