I don't think his beginning to use other delays, than the EH Deluxe Memory Man were due to not liking the tone. In fact he loves the warmth.

In fact, the rack units that he's gone to are due to the fact that they do have that warmth, similar to analog units. That and he liked the pre-amp in the Korg SDD-3000.

He's still used analog delays in the studio.

The issue was the old EH Deluxe Memory Man were unreliable. He liked the sound and the warmth of them.

He began using the SDD-3000 in 1983 (along with the EH DMM). What he liked then, and now about the Korg SDD-3000 is that it has that warmth, similar to and analog delay. This is also one of the selling points for the TC Electronics 2290 - It's pretty warm for a digital unit.
