No one is allowed to have an opinion on vinyl vs. digital unless they have at least a basic understanding of the Shannon sampling theorem. Seriously, if you don't know what the Nyquist rate is, shut the hell up.

Note: There are still valid arguments to be had in this domain. They just don't include the phrase 'warmth of analog' at any point.

In fact, I don't, and I tend to prefer very crisp sound. But this is reassuring - the whole warmth of analog bit argument confused me, except as translated as "I like my sound soft and fuzzy" and... yeah, other ways to get that.
