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

That was fun (the slices of bread analogy). I should qualify it as being an explanation given to me back in the mid-late 80's. My first digital player was of the single laser type. The sound was horrible. In addition, early CDs were digitized copies of LPs. I still have some where the jewel box art was a picture of an album cover, complete with ringwear! You could even hear a few pops and clicks from the vinyl they were copied from. We've come a long way baby. If the instrument isn't live in your ear, all reproduced sounds differ in some way from the original source. I'm going back to my sourdough toast now, "different strokes for different folks" (Sly Stone). AB

The reason vinyl sounds better is the instrument timbre and the interaction of them. There is no electronic tool for measuring this. Regardless of the format, albums recorded with instruments played separately have a similar problem - lacking vitality and authenticity bc those of us used to live performance miss these musical interactions. Modern digital sampling helps (often with better mastering and mixing) a lot but compared to old digital sampling vinyl is astounding - there is zero contest.

Direct stream w/ SB2 vs RPM3 with EVO III through a gold note PH-10 > my DAC is theoretically better than the phono including better cables.

For me to compare vynil vs digital it will never end, But with a train good ears and who knows music for the most part they will prefer vynil.The soul of music of vynil it’s hard to accomplish on digital. Again I love both format , that’s why I have both.

You are right. There is no electronic tool to measure something that does not exist.

Timbre definitely exists... it’s why one guitar sounds different than another. Why nylon strings sound different than steel.
