I thought this was interesting.

So, it's not article worth of reading, then?

No, not when reading obvious bull like:

Digital recordings, on the other hand, are captured by computers, which record only certain slices of sound at split-second intervals that are then encoded into computer language. All those 1's and 0's end up representing a numeric interpretation of sound.

I have - maybe most of those here have done so too - compared records in AB with CD, and the sound quality was at best indistinguishable, at worst noticeable (not in favour of the LP) because of the increased noise of the lp between tracks.

Vinyl is the most faithful medium, with no compression or translation of music.

The idiot writing the article doesn't even have the foggiest about the RIAA compression curve.
