Like I'm going to take time to do that from a tropical beach paradise.
No tellings off for anyone who says club PAs need sorting anyway. Or in
the UK anyway (if you're coming to the B I think you might like the ones
there :-)

Sounds like a

well, that's not my argument. the object does not make the music
itself any better or worse. it is just a vessel that contains more
cultural artifacts and other contextual/background infor

A needle wiggling in a groove is a continuous function of the original
signal. A digital recording is a a digital piecewise approximation.
In the end it doesn't really matter -- to my ears it all sounds good
when the music itself is good.

totally right benoit, excellent point...although i do personally know
some people who lay it down in the studio onto tape with little to no
digital in the mix, but that's besides the point. the important
question is whether the difference is significant, which comes down to
psychoacousticsdepen

@robin yes yes of course, that's your preference. trust me, your
resignation to the disappearance of vinyl from your life does not
represent the world.
Absolutely. There's plenty of room for misinterpretation here - I'm
just presenting a point of view that's common. As it happens I hold

You know, like there's so much silence comes
from an mp3/laptop that you can't hear the music...
Brilliant, reminds me of this:

Not even needing the hiss or crackle, just the atmosphere created by the
surface, the sound of the space created by the needle/record/platter
motor. A deep rumble.

Perhaps playing a silent record is going to far :) ... but it's a fair

Still, if your file's digitized from vinyl you would get all the
benefits of the medium in the audio quality too, I guess?
I've never had any comment that the sound coming from my laptop is any
different to that c
Yeah, but an mp3 of vinyl crackle would be a compressed, digital approximation
of the analogue
source, so (assuming this argument holds water) would still sound less 'warm'
than a slab of vinyl
with nothing but, err, hiss and crackle on it. Like some uber-mnml m-nus
release ;)
But anyway, this
