Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?

Unsound and Orpheus - one can measure "distortion" all one wants. The problem is, some types of "distortion" are much more musically harmful than others. There is admittedly more "distortion" in analog, however the distortions of digital are much more musically objectionable because of the frequencies at which they occur, and for other reasons. So the measured amount is beside the point, really. IMO, too many audiophiles get hung up on measuring instead of training and using their ears to tell them what sounds more like the real thing.

Learsfool, I find the ticks and pops much more objectionable.

Sorry, clicked too soon. I think Orpheus10's remark was in response to Terry9's post.

Yes, Unsound, I realize that Orpheus 10 was responding to Terry9. That in no way invalidates what I said, however. In this particular context, I mainly wanted to make the point that far too many audiophiles rely on measurements instead of their ears, especially when "distortions" are in question.

I was responding to the fact that I'm a technician, and the question is not "audiophillic" if there is such a word; but technical.

As a technician, I rely on my ears as opposed to measurements when we are in the "audiophile domain", and as an "audiophile" I'm sure you know what I mean. Nothing can measure subtle nuances.
