Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?


More accurate, mind you, not better sounding. We've all agreed on that one already, right?

How about more precise?

Any metrics or quantitative facts to support your case is appreciated.

The world is digital at the micro level but analog at the macro so there is no real answer to this question.
Stanwal, this statement does not make any sense! I believe it's the reverse - The world is analog at the micro level & digital at the macro level. As you ascend from the micro level to the macro level, you can quantize the info & make it digital (thereby losing as much as info as you deem fit depending the levels of quantization).
If the world is/was digital at the micro level, converting it to analog at the macro level means that we do not generate any new info. if the world is digital at the micro level it means that things exist only in discrete states. does this even make sense?
Think of Brownian motion - is it digital? I don't think so.....
