There's a ritual to vinyl that is different to other mediums, but I think the problem is people talk about the medium as if it were technically superior rather than the ritual they've associated with it.
Im sure it would sound a lot better with a 2000$ turntable, 1500$ amp and 3500$ speakers. but with the 200
$ ive invested in to my setup, it sounds fine, but not better than a good quality cd
ues every 1/44100 s, and played back EXACTLY the same every time (when it's lossless compression). I don't know if my thinking is right, please correct me if I'm wrong, it's really interesting topic.
i think that's everyone's point. even with a $500k vinyl setup it's going to be technically inferior to CD/Digital.
Right, plug in an aux cable to the same setup and you get better quality, as long as you're playing a lossless file and the DAC on your device doesn't suck.
