I propose taking any uber TT system of choice playing back vinyl of choice and comparing against a digitized version of itself in real time so even pops and clicks come clear through.
Have vinylphile easily pick out the "analog" version. Post on YouTube. Case settled. :)

I did that when I had the MSB at home. Didn’t post on YouTube. Was too depressed.

I am serious about meeting up at Mike's place. I've already talked with him on the phone about it. I'm going to be driving over from the Delray Boynton Beach area during the Thanksgiving week vacation. Not sure the day yet but I will firm up later. It would be great to meet anybody who could show up.

Digital has no 100k upper limit.
Your analog Wiki will have to do better than that ;)
Now lets agree that analog vinyl is inferior to Digital by every objective metric...but people can prefer whatever they wish...and flat out with some available media vinyl might be better and vice versa so another variable.
Which leads to invalid comparisons. Soo..

Slipping left and right , only leaving digital slow pokes behind , Analog has no Limits which prevents it from reproducing audio at a more realistic level than digital in the real world , you have yet to back up your assertions,

list of you high DR recordings played in your system
list of your 120db DR recordings
papers citing how much xtalk is necessary for good hifi reproduction

The DR limit of analog LP vs digital is not an issue when most “philes” under powered audio systems can barely handle 28db of DR...


try sticking to the plot ... :)

Really? No limits? You need to back up that assertion.

I mean I love analog, but this is quite a bold claim. What about the physics of the groove?
 
Well please feel free to educate on what limits analog LP has preventing it from the reproduction of Music at a high level in audiophile systems ..?

MR J loves the DR analogy that one fails, the advantages of digital does not translate in the real world , its storage and ease of use abilities aside ..

its A Preference , Irony noted on both sides .... :)

I hope you don't have such a lousy system. It would be a complete fail on orchestral recordings, which usually are more or less uncompressed, at least on digital. And it's not just orchestral.

There is no such thing as uncompressed recordings and i doubt your system can come close to live DR , as my lousy system ..

Frequency response, noise, groove echo, channel separation, speed errors, dynamic range, degradation/variability each play come to mind.
That you are arguing that vinyl isn't inferior to digital by any objective metric other than price, is silly.
