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!

So, you can make a digital recording of what comes out of the phono stage, and then play that recording through the same system.  If the ear can’t tell the difference then it would seem that the digital format can accurately capture and reproduce the sounds produced upstream of the phono out. 
Is that true?

If that is true, then the digital capture can be compared to the digital master used to make the vinyl in the first place. Now you can make a filter to put in downstream of your digital source. 
Someone must have tried this already?  With any success?
