Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

If you can’t hear vinyl BLOW away digital, get a better rig.  This isn't even close, guys. We don't buy a turn table that tries to reproduce that digital sound.  They sell digital trying to capture that analogue sound.  Get it?  
To me its like a porn DVD as opposed to the real thing.  Digital plays music for you; vinyl immerses you in the musical experience.  Digital will give you a 3 d sonic hologram if its set up right but vinyl brings you into that hologram (if its set up right).  Its really not close.
