Back in the day, I had vinyl and early CDs of the same album from the same recording and time period. I'm guessing these were AAD CDs. Tape hiss was readily apparent on the CDs. Anyway...They both sounded very similar but the CDs lacked the pops and ticks. I'm going to say that today there is a vinyl mix and a CD mix, so there is no telling what you will get. Different but maybe not better or worse.
