I've used a Sony RCD500 and a Tascam RW900 mkII for most of my analog to digital transfers. Early on in this process I found the analog sourced material to be better than that from CDs or FM. However I've never done a head to head comparison of digital recordings made from each - I would suspect the results would be similar to CD v. Analog comparisons I've made. And that is that pre-1990 or so original vinyl is almost always better. Since then it's a crap shoot - sometimes CD, sometimes vinyl and sometimes no difference.I think the mastering/production of the material (cd/vinyl) is what is most important. Recording vinyl to digital seems to preserve much, if not all, of the characteristics I appreciate from vinyl.
