Re:Cassettes Are Back, and It’s Not About the Music by Arubis on Saturday August 03, 2019 @01:34PM (#20601586)
That’s a common explanation, and it’s true at low sampling rates. However, we can fairly provably sample at greater rates than the human ear can perceive. A lot of the actual difference between vinyl and more recent digitized recordings is different decisions made during production, most notably performing volume compression to increase perceived loudness, which definitively reduces the nuance of the final product (but also leads to higher ratings for singles).
