with respect to others, i think that many newer recordings can sound great on vinyl, in some cases superior to the digital master. there are so many factors (the master, the remaster in some cases, who cut it, this or that piece in your setup etc) that sometimes it's hard to pin down what, exactly, might be "off" about a given recording. but when it sounds really good, you don't think about source too much. it just works. only my .02c
