Don't conflate not liking it with harsh and fatiguing? Unless that is still the reason you don't like it? In which case further investigation is required. Digital is never going to sound like vinyl so a preference for vinyl is always going to be just that.
And there is no 'new digital', it isn't any different from what it was in 1983. That's the whole point of my argument.
