Fear Inoculum in Vinyl


Anybody else enjoying the vinyl edition of this great album ? I thought the CD was well recorded but to my ears the vinyl edition is much better. My vinyl playback and digital system are very close in sound quality with different presentations. I could do without the extras that pushed up the price but having said that if you like Tool and play vinyl this album is a must listen.

No.

Vinyl has clicks, pops, and hiss.

Even if you have an expensive turntable, your system will have nonlinearities that digital systems are immune to.

Not saying digital is perfect, but it's still better.

Even if that is true, it doesn't matter much.

CDs have greater dynamic range than vinyl. And besides, we cannot hear ultrasonic frequencies and they do not exist in music.

 

 

Vinyl is still a very flawed playback medium.

Limited dynamic range compared to the compact disc.

Vinyl is an outdated, overhyped, technically inferior format.

and on top of that vinyl is expensive.
