Barnes & Noble now have LP displays! The sound of any given LP is determined by the record label. Sony is putting out LP's, but I doubt they have theirs mastered the way Mobile Fidelity does. Good luck getting any information from Sony about how their LP's are made.
Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars?
I'm seeing new vinyl sold in many unexpected places these days.
For those who have bought a lot of new vinyl, I'm wondering if these tend to be mastered differently from similar newer CD remasters that often show effects of the "Loudness Wars"?
Is it a mixed bag perhaps? Much like CDs?
I wonder because if I knew there was a different mastering done for new vinyl I might consider buying some if I knew.
But new vinyl is expensive and I would not want to get essentially the same end result in regards to sound quality as I would get with CD for much less.
Just wondering.
