Part 3: Analog vs digital – can vinyl ever sound better than digital?

Pearl Acoustics - General HiFi topics

In this concluding episode, I cover one of the most contentious topics in HiFi: vinyl vs digital. I explore the subject as a listener, hifi enthusiast and recording engineer. Below, you will find useful links to an array of free of charge supporting material, including an uncompressed sample of one of my studio recordings, scientific documents on the topic of digital and other items.

Chapters:
00:00 Introduction
03:43 Overview
07:24 Dynamics and mastering
13:49 Recording for reality
20:21 The emotive connection
24:41 Conclusion

Interesting, and very easy to read, article (with lots of interesting links) on dynamics, bandwidth and compression by Mike Lavine for Yamaha:

What Is Dynamic Range, and Why Does it Matter?

Scientific papers on the founding principles of digital audio
