The only ACCURATE analog reproduction would be another orchestra playing in an identical space!
The only REAL argument for analog being objectively better than digital is the idea that there is a magical quality of music that can't be digitized...like a soul or something.
Maybe there is, but I'm staying with my digital audio.

I'm not arguing in favor of analog. Just stating that it is, in principle, more accurate than digital. In practice, flaws in the recording medium will cause the analog recording to suffer, while a CD and have flaws and still be just as clear.
