Placebo effect is integral part of ALL perceptions...

That does not means that the perception is unreal or only deceptive... Save for simplistic mind interpretations....

That means that what you think about some phenomenon participate to the exprerience of this phenomenon in a constitutive and creative way for the good and/or for the worst....

Man perceive the themperature of a room being "warm" or "cold", but the thermodynamic behind thermometer numbers is only a scale of numbers about billions of atoms WITHOUT these qualities...

The quality are "projected"/interpreted, onto/into "disordered molecules" sensation by consciousness and by the body organization which because of his finite limitation is POLARIZED between  these 2 opposites qualities which are only  reflecting the boundaries of the human organization itself....

Man lives in the cosmos like in himself and he lives in himself like in the cosmos.... This is the the basic polarity and participation ....But being unconscious  of his freedom and of his participation to the world, man spontaneously externalize this polarity of his being into an external duality....An habit..... Only meditation reintegrate man in himself and in the cosmos...

Then perceiving a difference between vinyl and digital is not an illusion nor a reality, it is different experiences motivated by personal histories....It is an illusion which could be a reality, or a reality which could be an illusion....It is an interpretation after an act of translation....

The price and the cost  to pay for meaning is freedom .....

Can't argue with that at all. I think it is an illusion that is reality.

Well, this might be true of things that don’t matter much to us. Who will care much about Coke? But if, for example, you served me really good food, no matter how you serve it, I will probably still find the better food better, although circumstances will have a slight influence.

And records are not always the ones that are presented more beautifully than a CD. The record sleeve may be externally damaged and generally worn, there may be a few light scratches on the record. Some dust may have accumulated on the plate, or it may be greasy in some places. Why should I prefer the record to an always shiny CD in such a case? 30% of my record collection looks like this - a typical purchase at the flea market.

Believe me, if CDs were always better sounding than vinyl, I would be jumping on the digital bandwagon in no time.

Whatever floats your boat.
‘Both digital and analog can deliver the message.
Whichever does it better is of no consequence to me.
 Otherwise it would drive me bananas.
