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

It’s a new year! Ring out the old ring in the new. Getting all hyper over hifi gear is nowhere man. Don’t worry be happy! Everybody knows this is nowhere.  A little love and affection in everything you do makes the world a better place with or without you. 

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. 

78s playing on a 1920’s Victrola also has a kind of magic to it. Mostly nostalgic.

I have converted 78s to digital. Sounds the same, but something is missing....can’t quite figure out what it is.

Vinyl is a 100 year plus old flawed technology. People spend a fortune trying to address the flaws and still can never win because all records have flaws it’s just a matter of how many and how much.

The packaging is better than ever though for those who must own but you will pay for that.

Digital is much easier to get right these days.

ive been collecting records for years and still do when the price is right so there are few titles out there that i would ever need to buy new. When CDs came out in the 80s I invested in a good turntable to preserve the investment I had already made in vinyl.

These days when I have time to play records I work on getting them digitized and into my digital music library for easier access (and still top notch sound). That is a time consuming process though.
