But isn't that theoretical and only true for high-end analog hardware?
Before digital, most people had low-end analog devices that produced crappy 
and noisy output. My VCR, TV, record player and film camera sure did. As far 
as I'm concerned, their digital versions are a massive improvement, 
quality-wise.
While audiophiles, videophiles or film camera addicts can truly claim that 
their (costly) analog system is better than its digital counterpart, it 
doesn't mean that it's true for the rest of us, so the theoretical benefits 
of analog technologies are a moot point.
