Might require free registration. But worth a look.
Analog recording at the professional level is almost gone now.
Which in my opinion as a Luddite, is too bad.

Why are you a luddite?  Just curious.

It would be definition 2.

Because I'm not sold on the benefits of technology.

I see you don't mind using computers. 

But I can relate.  I question our modern needs, too.  Cell phones, pagers, OnStar in my truck, with the threat of the FBI surreptitiously listening to me curse at traffic...  No privacy or freedom anywhere.

It takes some time and effort, but there are ways to push this stuff aside and simplify... 

My $.02:
Funny this should come up...the other night I sat down with a single malt for a listening session and decided to compare some recordings.

First comparison was Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Sessions and JazzManiacs- - One Man's Blues.

Junkies was recorded at the ?Holy Trinity CAthedral? in Toronto using a single mic and One Man's Blues was recorded live at a local club (Richmond, VA) on a high-end digital stack of some sort.

Both recordings are sublime, IMO.  It occurred to me that my prejudice against the digital recording is without merit.  I was no less moved by the digital as the analog as I realize in the end, that is what is most important to me.
