I don't get it, looks like you are in favor of analog stuff, however (taking the same article you posted), we can find this:

Analog warmth

Some audio enthusiasts prefer the sound of vinyl records over that of CD, this despite the apparent technical advantages of the digital format. Founder and editor Harry Pearson of The Absolute Sound journal says that "LPs are decisively more musical. CDs drain the soul from music. The emotional involvement disappears" [5]. Dub producer Adrian Sherwood has similar feelings about the analog cassette tape, which he prefers because of its warm sound [6].

Those who favour the digital format point to the results of blind tests, which demonstrate the high performance possible with digital recorders [7], [8]. The assertion is that the 'analog sound' is more a product of analog format inaccuracies than anything else. One early supporter of digital audio was the classical conductor Herbert von Karajan, who said that digital recording was "definitely superior to any other form of recording we know".
I'm certainly not an audiophile (I still have more cell brains than money) but I have spend the last months researching about this crap, and I came to one conclusion: everything is entirely subjective, specially if you have spend a ridiculous amount of money in your stuff. (Naturally, a lot of stuff is worthy, but man... it's nearly impossible to separate the crap from the truth.)

Anyways, I have read several sounds engineers/musicians talking about this subject and they usually come the same conclusion, here for example: The Audio Critic

Btw, Didn't want to sound "meanie", but it came out that way.... sorry.
