Digital vs Vinyl: The winner is ??

See what I have to say about it on comments to that video.

Mmakshak....there’s like over 1,000 comments...just tell us what you said!!!

One thing that the commentator did not mention was the inner groove distortion specially when the stylus reaches the inner grooves, no mention of surface noise and of cours no mention of clicks and pops, these are all the reasons why I abandoned vinyl.

I must admit, as I have mentioned in my post about my Focal Kanta No.2 speakers, my digital based system can re-create the experience I have at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia.  A big part of that experience is a quiet background from which the music can emerge.  Some of my other judicious choices regarding cabling, AC conditioning and digital purification have helped me abandon vinyl.

I have thought this all along.  The vinyl record has to be perfectly clean, the tone arm and needle have to adjusted perfectly to make contact with the grooves perfectly and then there is the noise that follows.  CD's simply do not pose this problem.  And then............there are those $20,000 turn tables.  They are gorgeous to look at, but do they really make a significant difference.  CD's transmit a lot more data and more data means greater detail.
