I have no intention to digitalize my vinyl, but even vinyl reissues are not as good as the original pressings. I don’t care much about new music recorded digitally from the start, my favorite records are from the 70s era. Those LPs recorded on mastertapes on serious studio equipment, no digital sh*t involved in this process, those records are true magic compared to digitally remastered reissues of the same record even if they are pressed on 180g and promissed to be superiour (in 99% they are awful compared to the original press made 40 years ago).
So I’m trying to avoid digital as much as i can!
If you can’t hear any difference between properly recorded original vinyl (mastered from the tapes, 100% analog source) and your homemade digital copy, then maybe your analog rig is not good. Analog source in this case must be superior.
If you’re talking about new music recorded digitally and then pressed on vinyl, then converted from vinyl back to digital... it is completely out of my mind, better buy .wav file directly from the label.
Digital is good to share the music, but i don’t understand people who’s trying to digitalize their vinyl just to listen the same music from a computer (it is such a boring process). Why not just play vinyl?
A copy from analog to digital can not be the same as a true analog source!
In this case it’s better to copy on reel to reel (or on tape) to stay analog.
