Wouldn't he have also found it upsetting for you to copy your vinyl to
CD?   That's also a lossy process, and I can definitely hear the
difference between CD and vinyl.   The only CD that sounds decent is
SACD.

Digital sound is so grating on my ears, that I archive from vinyl to
VHS HiFi.   Now THAT sounds good!
