Madman! Digital vs Vinyl


Anyone out there who has a great vinyl setup and a great digital setup, try this!

Bring up Elton John’s Tumbleweed Connection Deluxe Edition on Qubuz for digital which includes Madman Across the Water and play it.

 

Then pull out your vinyl of Madman Across the Water and play it.  
 

Please tell me which sounds better on your system and what you have for TT, cartridge and phono preamp.

 

 I won’t bias the results by telling you what I think.

 

 Thanks

Fuzztone is correct. Bill Evans’ Complete Village Vanguard Recordings 1961 sounds better on CD than vinyl, so does Duke Jordan’s JORDU. It would be incorrect to conclude based on this small sample size that CD sounds better than vinyl. It just is not scientific. Sorry to bust your bubbles but there is no “result “. The experiment needs more data to be conclusive. Nice try though. 
N.B. Again I am talking about specific CD recordings of these two albums.
