I always thought this was kinda weird but, Mapleshade recordings brag about live two channel analog recording and their similar philosophy but, then digitize their sound: No LP releases???
Current recordings on vinyl?
Are current musical artists being recorded in analog at all? I mean, if they are directly recorded to digital, be it pcm or dsd, what is the use of remastering them for vinyl? I have a reasonable collection of old vinyl or reissued...BUT...the primary recording, i.e., master tapes, were analog. Many of these sound great, especially on vinyl.
Take for example, Patricia Barber, Diana Krall, the Mahler symphonies by various orchestras. If they were recorded digitally, they already have the limitations of digital. Vinylizing them doesn't remove that.... does it? It would make more sense to buy on SACD if available, especially if primarily recorded to DSD.
