A real diamond is not comparable to a synthetic diamond:
to make a '
comparable analogy' you can go to the opera in a prestigious hall with renowned artists or in an open air dump with amateurs...
... there is no possible comparison, we are not talking about the '
same universe'
The Mayans, Aztecs, Incas or even the Egyptians built buildings which spanned centuries or even millennia later, in more modern eras, others were also built but no trace remains or they collapsed
PS: '
...I fail to see the point of using a mechanical device to convert digital data to analog...'
You have to '
project' yourself into the conditions of the past (its time, the 80s, exactly
décembre 1982, early March 1983 in France but the first turntable was sold in Japan on November 1, 1982) when
PHILIPS* invented the CD:
not everyone had the possibility of having a personal computer (PC), so it was necessary to invent a new medium like magnetic tape with its known defects because we would have had to use vinyl records to write digital data on them but I'll let you
imagine the diameter of such a disc to achieve this (LOL)
*PHILIPS invented the process, SONY '
imposed' the coding format (16 bits) and the duration (74 minutes).
NB: The invention of electricity was materialized by Coulomb's law (1785), allowing Volta to create the first electric battery (1800)** then Thomas Edison to light factories and homes (1879)***, this allowed various developments known since but we cannot say that what was the beginning is not remarkable.
**although there is the '
Baghdad Electric Battery'
dating from the 3rd century BC. AD but whose usefulness is controversial by archaeologists...
***Engineer
Nikola Tesla found himself in competition with industrialist Thomas Edison in the late 19th century.
The first praised the merits of alternating current, the second wanted to defend its monopoly with direct current.
Edison, however, knew that
Tesla's invention represented the future and threatened his monopoly.

We offer you a night in a hotel in Paris:
Do you choose the 'premiere Classe' Porte d'Italie hotel or the 'Georges V' at the Champs Elysees?
Knowing that both are used for sleeping and that
the first is much more recent than the second...

What we are looking for when listening is a moment, a sensation, a pleasure: no matter the technological means to achieve this, what matters most will be
your own feeling.
