Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital?

It’s obvious right? They sound different, and I’m sure they measure differently. Well we know the dynamic range of cd’s is larger than vinyl.

But do we have an agreed description or agreed measurements of the differences between vinyl and digital?

I know this is a hot topic so I am asking not for trouble but for well reasoned and detailed replies, if possible. And courtesy among us. Please.

I’ve always wondered why vinyl sounds more open, airy and transparent in the mid range. And of cd’s and most digital sounds quieter and yet lifeless than compared with vinyl. YMMV of course, I am looking for the reasons, and appreciation of one another’s experience.

Hello.

All this discussing seems for me to be based on terrifficness.

You got a couple of ears, usually.

That is the source to measure with. And if your ears prefer digital, thats ok. Same with analog.

So, in my opinion, humble or not, your ears are your guidance.

My ears are my only reference.

I also wonder when people are going to start lisening to the performance of the music, whether analog or digital.
