10000 words are quite long for audiophile blurb.
I'd use the word 'bollocks' in place of blurb. There's not a lot of science or engineering in that article just subjectivist impressions we've read a hundred times.
I'm a fan of vinyl as I rather like the challenge of scraping music out of a ditch with a rock on the end of a stick, but I'm also under no illusions that digital does a much better job of capturing everything that matters, and indeed that HD digital doesn't capture anything audible that 44.1/16 can't.
Reel to Reel was the best there was in 1970, but by 1979 or thereabouts, digital recorders were already knocking spots off Ampexes and Studers, if for no better reason than they didn't need lining up twice a day so were a lot more stable. Bop 'till you drop was the first digitally recorded album to be released commercially, and it's still pretty good.
As I said, I like playing LPs, I collect SQ Quadraphonic LPs, mostly classical, as Quad mixes were rarely released on CDs, at least not deliberately, so they're fun, but don't try and persuade me they're in any way better. Much like driving a 1929 blown Bentley. Great fun, but hardly SOTA .
