In Reply to: LP is an even worse representation of the analog master tape posted by jeromelang on June 7, 2004 at 23:35:16:

First is that, simply because *theoretically* vinyl is a "worse" representation of the original signal, doesn't mean that it is less pleasant to listen to.

The second is that whilse the original analog tapes of 40-year-old historic recording sessions may deteriorate with age, the vinyl will *not* flake or become unstable. In fact it will outlive us all by many many years *and* will have the benefit of having working playback equipment to use for future generations to enjoy. Just keep in mind that there is a vast amount of data that NASA is having trouble accessing because the computer equipment used to store it is no longer around.

Cheers
