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

Some streams I listen to have virtually no dynamic range. They're mastered to be loud, not to sound good. Others can be stunning. Same with vinyl, everything depends on the pressing, and dead wax info isn't always the complete answer either. I have a few same matrix pressings that sound a bit different too.
