OTOH storage of very good sounding professional analog tapes has got pitfalls. Assumed professional analog recordings should sound better than professional digital recordings, perhaps they don't, it's just an arbitrary assumption, then we shouldn't underrate the issue of maintaining the archiving. An analog copy does reduce the quality of the original recording, there is nothing such as a perfect analog copy. A digital copy doesn't reduce the quality, at least not a perfect digital copy and perfect digital copies are possible. When coping from one consumer DAT to another consumer DAT via S/PDIF I experienced artefacts, but something like this shouldn't happen, if we copy a file from one HDD to another ;).
