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 just fell in love with vynil two or three yrs ago. Really before I am ok and very happy with digital, still do ,I bought 2 sacd players 5 yrs ago, Yamaha 1000S And marantz 8005 sacd , I still like digital,thinking, Iam happy to have my music hall 5.2 tt, with goldring  cart, and built in phono pre on my preamp. That’s it. Until I decided to visit friends who has good vynil set up, then I heard and felt something on  vynil that I have never experienced, the rest is history, I fell in love with vynil, I bought good turntable and good phono pre.if I have time to listen I prefer vynil, if Iam doing something digital is perfect.
Audio2design vynil is not for someone who is not willing to try, analog takes time sink in, it took me close to 30 yrs before I tried it seriously.
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.
