EStat, so are you a believer that vynil may smooth out the digital nasties of the earlier digital recordings? I ask since you say that vinyl has inherently has higher resolution. If it does, then one would have to believe that the vinyl would also show the shortcomings of that digital master tape. That is if there isn't a roll off that smooths out such nasties. Or does vinyl somehow know the original intent of the recording?I won't debate the quality differences between early CDs and vinyl. Most of those CDs were recorded with 2nd or 3rd generation masters, if that. Many probably had been changed from D to A to D to A many many times. The 50 dollar records out now use the original master only, apply a juducious amount of eq and go. On 3rd base, basses loaded, no outs, 3 balls and no strikes. It ain't hard to make it home from there. Born To Run be darned.
