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!

I am certainly not an expert in either analog or digital recording or playback. I look at the more simplistic analysis, in that we humans are analog creatures, naturally not a bit of digital in the body (yes we can add digital items such as cochlear hearing, heart pace makers and such).
Could it be a fundamental thing (for want of a better expression) that our brains are attuned to analog more so than the sound digital zero and ones produce from the source.
Digital devices can manipulate sounds to any requirement, but to my limited understanding analog can also be manipulated (cartridges, speakers) but they are still analog, in tune with the brain.

Have I got this one way out there?   🇦🇺
By the way, everyone have a Happy Christmas and pray for a much much better New Year 2021. 🇦🇺
Maghister, I’m 7 years behind in understanding, perhaps a few more years in age, wasted not understanding audio to an audiophile stage. Have a good one. 😀
