@sbank : Spencer- you should start a new thread that helps demystify this for readers. I love my records (even some that were natively recorded in digital and/or pulled from digital masters), but there are some obscure records that have never been reissued and are simply unobtanium as original pressings--(one is a four figure record that a friend had remastered on CD years ago. I just want to listen to the music, not make an "investment" in a collector’s item). I’ve stayed out of the digital arena largely because I believed that I could never achieve what I get from analog without spending a comparable sum --and felt the money better spent on the analog side, but I may be ready to take the dive simply because a lot of the material I’m chasing is very hard to find at a reasonable price. Your thoughts might be helpful for a number of readers.
Thank you.
Thank you.
