RE: Pink Floyd 2011/2012 reissues - mini-review

Excellent post here. Agree about the dynamics comments, though they're not bad. I do wonder about the A-to-D-to-A...good point, indeed. Unfortunately, most every 'newer' indie-type band puts out an LP using this process these days, so it makes me wonder why they bother pressing an LP in the first place (or why I bother to buy them, more to the point). That said, I often compare the CD to LP of these same albums, and the LPs nearly almost always have the best sense of 'immediacy', 'weight' and 'intimacy' into the recording. So, I guess that's why I buy them...I think; and I hope I don't do it just for the interaction of the medium, but I'm certain that's part of it. Another part is that my vinyl rig is just so much better than my digital, so I somewhat blindly go into a listening session half-expecting that, too.

Nice equipment by the way.
