I think it is a subjective thing, sort of like folks who still prefer records or carts to CD's. There is a warmth
and coloring to the audio that modern digital equipment doesn't have, because it generally is flat and clean.

We use to prefer the sound of our old 1942 RCA 1K over the 1950 BTA5F. When we really wanted to enjoy
the sound of the station we would switch to the 1K for "testing" during the evening hours. That was the
transmitters undoing as it was on the air when we took a direct lightning hit. Replaced with an MW-5A.
Just not the same at all.
