So only real analog can produce vibrant, rich, full, lively, animated and 
colourful tones you say.  That's interesting.  If you think VA synths can't 
sound like the above it is usually the fault of the synthesist, not the 
synthesizer.

Talk about exaggeration.  VA is like 98% of the way there.  98% of a great 
thing is still a great thing.  Even if it gets to within 99.99% of analog, 
there will still be statements like this.  Haven't there been blind sound 
tests done in the past?
