Indeed, I agree, overall a nice article. I like that little embedded video talking about the limitations of vinyl mastering. Indeed that RIAA curve is nasty and the old LP technology is full of compromises we have taken for granted with the freedom of digital. (Makes "issues" like jitter laughable!)
I think the main message about reminding the vinyl lovers that -LPs are less accurate- than a -good -CD is an important one that is quite clearly based in fact. Even though I do not own a turntable any more, a number of friends have bought TT's in the last 3 years and I've had the pleasure to listen to some excellent vinyl rigs as a result. They can sound very good and obviously the experience of the physical object, playback ritual, and large artwork can certainly provide a different (and some would argue richer) experience.
