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

The scientists call it Euphoric Distortion... that's the scientific term explaining why we humans prefer an analog sound, our ears and brain prefer the distortion from a vinyl record more then the distortion from a digital source. Why else would a person spend a ton of money on turntables, cartridges, phono preamps, record cleaning machines, brushes, anti magnetizers and anti static gear?
IMO digital sounds just as good, less work, less money and sounds closer to the actual recording, unfortunately it just leaves you feeling unsatisfied.
Long live VINYL.

Merry Christmas

My DAC has various filters that can make it sound like tubes or a vinyl recording. Considering that all newer music is recorded digitally then why would you not listen to it the way it was meant to be? You can make a digital source sound however you like. Vinyl sounds like uh vinyl. 

Digital is no comparison to vinyl not even close  we build a point to point wired, DHT R2R DAC with a 30lb power supply.  The phono we build using a JC Penny TT is just better sounding.  The DAC is awesome but in direct comparison vinyl still sounds better.

Happy Listening.    

I trust you on this.....And it is very interesting to know this experiment of yours bigkidz ...

I must be a little deaf tough.... 😊

With my relatively low cost minimalistic NOS dac, Starting Point Systems with an internal battery and very low noise level because of that and his single TDA 1543 chip with almost nothing else to create noise and a very well embedded acoustically, mechanically and electrically audio system, i listen to no detectable digital glare or digital noise....My Sound is holographic, with natural instrumental timbre without the fatiguing highs at all.... And even if my Sansui AU 7700 is S.S. the sound is better than my past tube amplifier....I cannot even listen no more to any of my headphones including 2 stax, 2 different orthodynamic, 2 dynamic one and a hybrid because my speakers are better than any of them now on all count including details....

Then....I must be deaf without knowing it perhaps ?....

Or i am like those who addicted to porn called it love...

Because for vinyl afficionados digital is 2 dimension porn compared to the 3-d living love....

I am damned without even knowing it....😮😯😪😶 Like Calvin already demonstrated it before the success of protestant capitalism which was a way for the lucky rich to know that God choose them to be like they are: rich... ( i apologize to digress, i am not only half deaf but a bit nut it seems)

And i dont mock you, i take your own experiment seriously but what?
What about mine?

Food for toughts indeed....I dont eliminate the fact that habit condition us all even me....😁

Merry Christmas to you and thanks for this interesting post.......
