Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

It's written by someone who wants to explain why vinyl sounds better without knowing why it is so, and so pads it out with philosophy and a partially-understood discussion on digital. The superiority of vinyl doesn't have anything to do with the openness of grooves allowed instruments to express themselves and resonate, it's about the superior dynamic performance which contributes to sense of "realness". Why does vinyl mastered from an analog source have this superiority, I don't know. Possibly it's related to time domain resolution which digital is bad at. It's okay to just admit you don't know why exactly vinyl performs better than digital in some ways.

All that matters is what YOUR brain thinks .
Mine thinks vinyl is in a airy room.
It thinks CD is playing in a room with no air in it .

Have to agree with madavid0 in that this guy doesn't seem to know much at all about what he criticizes.If he's trying to explain why people prefer vinyl because they can play with the records and the record jackets, that is fine.  I play with mine.
If he is trying to explain why vinyl is better, it sure doesn't include reason of sound quality other than his constantly rendered subjective crap reasons. I just hate subjective arguments where the author takes his opinions of "rich sound" like facts. Give me a break, please.I love my vinyl and it can astound people. But it's not better.

Yes on reflection the article is much weaker than I originally thought and if I knew how to delete it I probably should. Still the comments here are better and more interesting and I'm learning from them.

Vinyl is a 100 year plus old flawed technology. People spend a fortune trying to address the flaws and still can never win because all records have flaws it’s just a matter of how many and how much.

The packaging is better than ever though for those who must own but you will pay for that.

Digital is much easier to get right these days.

ive been collecting records for years and still do when the price is right so there are few titles out there that i would ever need to buy new. When CDs came out in the 80s I invested in a good turntable to preserve the investment I had already made in vinyl.

These days when I have time to play records I work on getting them digitized and into my digital music library for easier access (and still top notch sound). That is a time consuming process though.
