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

better for who?  fine if you like to play with record speed , Cantaleavers,  record cleaners ,  moving coil ,  nice tube head amp ,
a  interconnect,   not drinking at a 6 ft. distance from the TT . crazy vibrations.   10 other things i forgot about  .
 5 years ago and today is totally different    

Yet despite all that you said, I’d only point out there are people here who have tried both formats *in their rooms, keeping variables constant and avoiding the prejudices of magic words and fetishes* -- and yet they still testify to a difference. As much as you want to direct us to the many factors which are in common and to create "peace" between the "camps," there is a difference here which is not borne of obstinacy or anger, but of listening experiences. Personally, I have not had these experiences -- but that’s because I don’t have a turntable now

Thanks for your generous and kind words first...

I never negate that there can be "ultimately" a winner,vinyl, for some very few people,able to afford the comparison in the same optimal rightfully embed conditions with some masters files and mastervinyls... A trustful et honest audiophile like Mike Lavigne is an example.... He said that vinyl is better and i trust him...

My point of view is not about to negate vinyl positive points at all....

But for most of us with ordinary vinyl and files, the difference is not what seems it would been in the Mike Lavigne room or any very high acoustically designed room...

In ordinary room there is plenty of people who vouch for cd or digital losless files with reason also...

My point is if your digital sound harsh, not organic, with a veil, dont look for a come back to vinyl, change for a better dac and treat and implement some controls on the mechanical, electrical and acoustical embeddings...

When this is done, if there subsist a superiority of a medium against another, it takes exceptional vinyl and master files to hear a clear winner and a room like Mark Lavigne....Otherwise each one has his superiotity and negatives...

Then ordinary mortals must embed rightfully their system and vinyl and digital will be relatively on par with each other with their own advantages and inconvenience to pound over but not  a complete superiority in the S.Q. ....


Thanks for your kindness and i wish you an iron health this year.... 🙃😊

Have a good new year. And if you could write shorter posts, well...that would be a kindness. (No offense, just so many words!)

The unanswered question remains: What would Walter Benjamin say?

😁😁😁

I understand for sure.... I remind you because you surely has observed it already, that english is by no means my spoken language.... I never speak it, i dont travel and only read.... Then when i explain myself in Shakespeare idiom, the artful tools of rethorical expression, like ellipse, litote, humor, or condensed rethorical statement of any kind are not in my box tools...

Then i apologize completely for my failure and lack of self control also...

My best wishes to you.....
