is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?


Same here. I do not own a turntable, however, if the sound of vinyl comes from the physical act of the record on the turntable why can't I transfer digital audio or at least emulate that process to digitally recreate that sound? I remember back in the 1970's you had 45rpm records on the back of cereal boxes and they were not vinyl, however they sounded good why can't I do that myself?

Whereas digital is digital, not much too talk about. 

You're wrong there.  There are many flavors of digital to enjoy and digital sound quality is progressing steadily.  All vinyl does not sound better than all digital, either.  Good digital can sound as good as good vinyl.  If anyone prefers the sound of vinyl, though, that's fine with me.  We all like what we like (see Geoff).

I find the area where the greatest improvement can be made is in recording quality.  So many albums are just not recorded very well.
