***Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?****

Good question.
Fun question.
Misplaced question?

My vinyl front end sounds more musical and is more satisfying than my digital set up. The answer to this question is a personal one each of us has to make. My advice is to be an artist as you set up your front end. Digital or vinyl. That is...set it up with passion and follow what pleases you. Most of don't have unlimited financial resources and their are extremely musical systems to be created at all prices levels irregardless of format. This will sound weird but instinctively it comes to me as being true. The sound of plastic, ie vinyl, imparts a beautiful tone to the music recorded onto it. Because materials have to do with resonances and real instruments are materials vibrating, i believe it to have a inherent sonic advantage because of this and possible downfall if pops and ticks drive you crazy. For the most part and i know they're are always exceptions, vinyl sounds just a little bit more "human" to me than does digital. Therefore in a democratic audiophile world i would vote that vinyl is "more accurate". I might be wrong about this but this is where my journey has led me thus far.

Cheers...

This is a no brainer. Vinyl is more accurate! It picks up and lets you hear all the noise, distortion, clicks, pops, and rumble that CDs never let you hear. Vinyl also gets rid of that ear shattering dynamic range.

Wow Rok - what a funny response...in an ignorant kind of way...

Hfisher3380, I love your stereo rack. I wanted one but went with the Sanus Euro instead. I admit to being tight with the dollar. :) I am glad you found my response funny. These days we need all the cheer we can get.
Cheers.

Interesting.

Full analog, it seems, should capture harmonic structure much better than digital with ZERO interpolation, where digital can capture dynamic range and low background noise (can't toss a needle out of the record groove!).

But, it's hard to find true 24 bit digital from stem to stern on true digital equipment...and the end CD. Most 16-bit stuff is tape remastered to digital so the tape is obviously better than the CD...by far (listen to a record using the same master tape!). 24-bit not so bad to my ears but rare to find.
