I've never really see anyone address this issue on this forum. It has been demonstrated that in some cases a recording that was originally mastered in analog will sound better when played back in an analog format such as LP record. Something gets lost in the translation when the recording is digitized.
It has never been demonstrated to the best of my knowledge that a recording that was mastered in digital will sound better than or even as good for that matter when recorded to analog. Why would it?
So then what is the point of buying a vinyl record that is esentially just an inferior copy of the CD? Why not just listen to the CD or better yet, the digital files directly?

- Digital vinyl seems a bit smoother to me, and I'm assuming that they were mastered at better than 16/44.1hz. n - jdaniel@jps.net 23:59:30 06/24/15 (0)
