New rule

[gfish]

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.

I don't think it's that odd alongside to the debate between whether electronic music should be quantized to sub-millisecond perfection or more "organic". Without a little noise in the system, ideally at every stage, people respond better. I mean, hell, the "sound" associated with many analogue synthesizers is in part down to the quirks of the individual parts. A little entropy seems to be important.
