initially things looked promising for vinyl and digital. Telarc's first 4-5 digital recordings (released on vinyl) were unqualified successes according to almost everyone—even audiophiles. Admittedly, later digital-to-vinyl efforts from Telarc were not so successful. Yet Telarc’s early releases would seem to put the lie to the vinyl purists insistence that it’s not enough to listen to vinyl, but that the recording itself must be "pure analog."
I’ve compared Telarc’s rendering of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite to Sheffield Labs' version on numerous occasions and always prefer the former.
