Isn't the reason people are interested in vinyl that they think it
contains more audio information due to the analogue characteristics ?
Adding vinyl artifacts to a digital file would be the opposite to this,
it would remove audio information and make it sound worse than the
digital original.
Of course, I can't really classify myself as an audiophile so I might
be missing something obvious.
