Occasionally, during one of our long threads about
vinyl vs. digital,someone suggests the invention of a

Well, it isn't that simple yet, but technology finds a
way:

Too bad this one completely missed the mark. It would be
a good idea if it were done right without the cyncism.
Maybe somebody who gets vinyl will make something that
will actually do the job.


What is "getting vinyl"?


Understanding the sonic aesthetic virtues that can be
found with vinyl.


The facts about vinyl in approximate order of importance
to most people:


Sorry you don't get to speak for most people.


Not only most but the vast majority of people have long since forgot about
vinyl. The RIAA market share data makes that quite clear.

Especially given your well documented prejudices on vinyl.


What prejudice of mine is that? Is it not true that my comments about vinyl
have been 100% factual, and backed by published, peer-reviewed technical
papers, statistical evidence from reliable industry sources and decades of
personal experience?

This product misses the mark IMO.


But you don't say why in a detailed, convincing way. In fact, you've
presented no evidence that you've ever actually listened to it. Could it be
that your opinions of it are based only on prejudice?

I am speaking as an
audiophile who is interested in the aesthetic value of
sound


Given that you have presented no first hand information about the sound of
this product...
