Digital LP’s
Has anyone noticed that LP’s made from digital sources don’t sound as good as actual CDs. The seem to lack spaciousness and detail.
@ossicle2brain " At these resolutions the music will sound just as good (if not better) than a pure analogue source." I agree with what you say about the quality of today's digital recordings. They are very good. Pretty much all of the vinyl I own comes from the 50's, 60's, 70's, all analog chain. My question remains, why put these new digitally recorded pieces on a slab of vinyl? I look forward to your thoughts.

@rvpiano Thanks for opening this thread. I have had the same question for years. I have not knowingly bought a digitally recorded vinyl album since the 80's. The question for me has always been, what is the point of putting this digital recording on vinyl? At this point I think the answer, from a sound quality point of view, is there is no reason. The only possible reason I could ever come up with is that the physical act of the stylus dragging through the groove somehow creates some good distortion. Kinda like a tube does. Probably not.
