What if it happened differently?

What if you never left vinyl but you kept buying digital equipment until one day you discovered that digital sounded better than vinyl. You discovered that digital recordings made with proper dither and played back on low jitter players with outstanding analog electronics sounded better than your best vinyl. Then you came into some money and you decided to upgrade your vinyl front end to the tune of $15,000 and low and behold, digital still sounded better. After that you knew that digital beat vinyl every time and you can't understand why all these vinyl enthusiasts can't hear the same thing you hear. You definitely hear the difference between CDs and LPs, but you prefer CDs every time. Then you get a real good high-resolution digital recorder and copy LP's to digital, and low and behold, the digital copies sound just like vinyl. This pretty much confirms all the distortion measurements you've read about relative to the two formats and you know beyond reasonable doubt that the difference in sound quality between digital and vinyl is totally due to significantly greater distortion produced by the vinyl format.

What if it happened like that?
