Like I'm going to take time to do that from a tropical beach paradise.
No tellings off for anyone who says club PAs need sorting anyway. Or in

Perhaps playing a silent record is going to far :) ... but it's a fair
point.
Still, if your file's digitized from vinyl you would get all the
benefits of the medium in the audio quality too, I guess?
I've never had any comment that the sound coming from my laptop is any
different to that

@robin yes yes of course, that's your preference. trust me, your
resignation to the disappearance of vinyl from your life does not
represent the world.
Absolutely. There's plenty of room for misinterpretation here - I'm
just presenting a point of view that's common. As it happens I hold

totally right benoit, excellent point...although i do personally know
some people who lay it down in the studio onto tape with little to no
digital in the mix, but that's besides the point. the important
question is whether the difference is significant, which comes down to
there are, but they have infinitely varying shapes, intervals, etc, as
opposed to digital, which is made of identical little blocks, if you
will.

A needle wiggling in a groove is a continuous function of the original
signal. A digital recording is a a digital piecewise approximation.
In the end it doesn't really matter -- to my ears it all sounds good
when the music itself is good.

To me, this whole concept of : the music associated to a physical

well, that's not my argument. the object does not make the music
itself any better or worse. it is just a vessel that contains more
cultural artifacts and other contextual/background
the difference is like comparing a strobe like to a fluorescent light.
