Listen to the same recording on both vinyl and digital. Pay particular attention to cymbals as they fade away. You'll see the difference very quickly - the "hash" sound of the digital cymbal just before it fades to quiet is courtesy of jitter. With vinyl, the fade out retains its tonal character all the way to quiet. Many other examples, but this one I find to be the best illustrator.
