      Sigh, I need to remember to never read the YouTube comments on @Techmoan videos. There is *always* a huge misguided discussion about analog vs. digital that raises my blood pressure. Your argument is invalid unless you have ABX tests to back it. Hint: digital does.

      Analog is great and fun and fascinating and good analog can sound great but. Stop. Claiming. It's. Fundamentally. Better. Than. Digital. It just isn't. Ever. CDs can reproduce the entirety of the human hearing range under all practical conditions. Full stop.

      analog can have imperfections that make it sound more pleasing to the (your) ear, but I don't think there are many people that are making that argument

      That's called a mastering effect. Then you take the analog output, digitize it again, and burn it onto a CD. Voila.

      Oh, I'm talking about vinyl, I'm not silly enough to argue in favor of something like cassette tapes btw

      Sure, I'm saying if you like the sound of vinyl you should buy your vinyl record, play it *once* into a high quality ADC, and then store it away and never bother with it again. That's the only way you'll enjoy the best possible vinyl sound without degradation over time.

      I am a vinyl collector, but I'm very aware of the fact that FLAC with a good setup sounds better. I however like the decorum, and the cleverness of the analog storage. I guess being a computer scientist made the magic behind digital storage disappear a little.

      Enjoying the format for its own sake and the hardware is certainly fine; if I had the space and money I certainly wouldn't mind having some nice retro equipment. I'm talking about the people who claim/think it's actually fundamentally superior.
