You may prefer analog tape to digital, but your reasons above? I'll have to disagree with you. Hope that's OK.
I guess I have to ask what's wrong with the digital technology you've been using. Digital recording today can be quite nice. Good A/Ds make a noticeable difference. They will however reveal that most cheap condenser mics to sound raw and unappealing.
