Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass

I have an number of newer digital pop sometimes even other genres like modern jazz recordings that I stream from my music library, Spotify, etc. Infusing a lot of very loud bass into modern recordings seems like a popular practice. It really can make you feel the music not just hear it with a good extended hifi system. Does not seem nearly as common in older recordings made 30 years ago or more in the days of analog or even early digital recordings.

Are there any new vinyl releases like this? Can people’s Record players track it? Or do the producers tone it down when mastering for vinyl. This is a result of modern digital mastering techniques commonly used these days so just wondering how well it transfers to vinyl. Any cases in point comparing a streamed version to one put to vinyl?

30 years ago, the 90s. there was some good BASS heavy stuff then. Not like today but, serious bass.. I have an old Stanly Clark LP it will yank the bass out of anything. My vinyl rig reaches right down there.. The same SACD is pretty good to. I still LOVE that old LP with an MM Grato cart..
Just reaches right down there and makes my Sonys sound brittle, a harsh edge. They are good units ES777 and 9000. But Vinyl, even over RtR right now for me..

BUT I'm workin' on the RtR.. :-)

Soon enough
