Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)

I recently read that almost every vinyl record since the early 1970s has been cut on a lathe that utilized a digital delay line for the source material. This allowed for the lathe to “anticipate” transients to facilitate widening the groove spacing accordingly. If true, and I’m not an expert here, that would mean that vinyl is actually from a digital source. That being said, the actual act of converting to a physical, analog copy in vinyl might be the filter you enjoy if you prefer vinyl. I welcome more insight on this.

@atmasphere Thank you for clarifying this for me, and possibly others who have heard this. What you describe is completely logical, and the author of the information I read must have misinterpreted the "digital" part of the process to mean the final source material instead of the preview head. Makes much more sense in that way.
