Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?


More accurate, mind you, not better sounding. We've all agreed on that one already, right?

How about more precise?

Any metrics or quantitative facts to support your case is appreciated.

Interesting.

Full analog, it seems, should capture harmonic structure much better than digital with ZERO interpolation, where digital can capture dynamic range and low background noise (can't toss a needle out of the record groove!).

But, it's hard to find true 24 bit digital from stem to stern on true digital equipment...and the end CD. Most 16-bit stuff is tape remastered to digital so the tape is obviously better than the CD...by far (listen to a record using the same master tape!). 24-bit not so bad to my ears but rare to find.
