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

I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

You are interpretating what you want to and assigning expertise where no actual evidence of it exists.


Like i said be honest and accuse me of incompetence... I will accept because i am not a scientist even iy you wre stupid i will accept this fact that i am not competent in signal theory or mathematic...But dont distort what she said for your purpose... Annd being incompetent dont make me stupid by the way...i know more mathematic than you do it seems....

And you are incompetent anyway at least in philosophy of science and in elemantary philosophy.... it is as big as the nose of Cleopatra... She is not....

Human perception can never be reduced to measuring apparatus...Nyquist or not...

Phenomena are not identical to their map....

Is it not simple?




I had to read the article given the debate about it going on. 
I found that other  than stating the obvious about records being a physical object that one can interact with ( and I would add much better than CDs in that regard which is a big factor)   I think  the article was a lot of conjecture and opinion and some flawed inferences. Little if anything concrete to back up the claims when it came to the discussion about sound. 
That’s Ok. It is what it is.   Just not particularly useful IMHO. 
That’s Ok. It is what it is. Just not particularly useful

It is not useful for the debate but it is interesting because she know what the theory of signal is...and she speak humanly about this debate without BIAS....


Mapman you are right then ... It is ONLY intended for the general public not to end the debate... I read her and consider interesting the fact that like me she does not condemn turntable afficionados in the name of "science" nor she proclaim that some science derived from by Nyquist theorem posit an absolute fact: digital is the only way...She only interrogate herself thats all in all modesty, knowing that mathematic so useful it is is not reality...

She only relate his human experience vulgarizing elementary fact for the gemeral reader that’ s all...



Now the interesting fact here, is that a vinyl dogmatic said few posts above that the article is bad, and now the other digital dogmatic said the same exact thing , the article is bad...

What is comical is the 2 dogmatics use the same distorted argument , incompetence, and falsified what she said...





« Atheist and hard religious believers are like identical sausage burned on the fire of blind faith»-Anonymus Smith

i will translate it for an audio forum:

Analog zealot and digital fool are identical janus brothers, a MYSTERY cannot be reduced to subjective impression nor to a sequence of numbers ONLY....

What is the mystery?

The distance between numbers and human perceived phenomena is the unfathomable mystery....
The correlation between numbers and human perception is the road of science through this mystery....


When arguments lose touch with reality they always end up far into the deep end. Me 2021.
