It was no contest, LP was better than digital in the 80s. But vinyl is still around due to a hobbyist, not sound-accuracy movement.
Look at the measurements of LP -inc. speed stability and explain how this could be a high-resolution system. How about inner-groove distortion ?
Strange -as LP 'improved', here comes tape ! The reference (now) for some audio writers.
Even more scary was the finding that 45 and 78rpm are better sounding than LP. Robert Harley and Jacob Heilbrunn (of TAS) wrote blogs on systems that used 45's (as a source), not LP. Herb Reichert recently made comments in-line with these demos.
I was shocked -LP is not even a flat-disc standard ! I had no idea analog recording/LP playback were this bad. Maybe I'm doing too much reading. But most reviewers have given up LP, so my findings can't be too far off...
