RE: ah but here is the catch.

How many times have you actually directly compared vinyl and digital sources that were derived from the same tape feed and not tweeked in any way by the mastering engineer?

In the commercial world, perhaps few to none. On the other hand, I have about a dozen different recordings that seem to have the same master on vinyl, CD and higher resolution digital.

Comparing vinyl to Redbook, I find each has strengths and weaknesses. Redbook wins at the bottom exhibiting less noise with vinyl demonstrating a more natural and extended top end. Dynamics can be good with either depending on the recording.

True high resolution recordings bridge the gap and provide the best of all worlds, IMHO.
