LZ Reissues - HD digital or LP?

Have you ever listened on a very high end system? It always depends on the quality of your gear, but vinyl will blow away digital when you set it up properly and clean your albums. Why not both? That's what Richard Vandersteen recommends. Just go through the vinyl ritual on special occasions when you want o really listen.

I have Led Zepp 1-3 on HD download. I have compared them against all the other reissues and like these the best.

I also jave the latest digital releases.
It is the best mix I have ever heard of these albums and canceled my vinyl order after my first listen.

Great. Have you heard it on the same system vs the vinyl pressings? That would blow you away I bet.

The new LP's may indeed sound better than the hires downloads on some systems, but since they are both from the same 24-96 PCM digital masters it's hard to see how the LP's would "blow away" the downloads.

I keep wondering how a recording that started as digital can ever be called analog vinyl? Robert Harley from Absolute Sound has said trying to convert digital to analog is like trying to change hamburger back into steak.

I realized how much I loved vinyl recently and got a new table, phono, cart yesterday. I don't have many digital to vinyl records as I never liked them as much and on the table I'm selling I could still tell the difference. It all depends on your hearing and how good your system is I think.

I have both the HD and the vinyl. Both versions sound stellar. Vinyl version my preference. But then again it usually is!

Does anyone know what are the release dates of the subsequent Led Zeppelin albums?
