Well, you missed the point. And I know all of vinyl's limitations. When digital can present a more involving musical event than analogue, I'll agree. Please refer to my original post and respond to the mathematical arguments, if you are able. There are those (including posters to this forum) who have shown that, in fact, analogue dynamic range is superior to digital. I'll leave that to them.My point is that digital is achieved through algoritms for numerical approximation. Inherent in these algorithms are errors of truncation and propagation. These are inevitably in the final product. QED, digital cannot be wholly accurate in it's reproduction of the recorded event. Please limit your response to the argument and leave the hammering of irrelevancies to someone else (though I doubt you can measure up to this, given your history.)
Vinyl can have a useful bandwidth to more than 30kHz at least. In the late 70's, I measured the effective bandwidth of mc phono cartridges and published them in a paper entitled "Omitted factors in Audio Design" given at the IEEE conference on Audio, etc in 1978 and published in 'Audio' in 1979. Many mc cartridges had broad resonances between 30kHz and 50kHz and mistracking artifacts typically to 200kHz, sometimes even 500kHz. This means that vinyl can reproduce a pretty good high frequency (8kHz) square wave, try this with CD! ;-)
