Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)

Trolling posts like this personalising the issue by provocatively pitting one format against another are the epitome of insecurity. The mention of cost is telling.

The truth of it is that mastering is key and we need both formats to cover all the bases. Nevertheless, it’s perfectly ok to prefer the sound of one over the other.

Must hurt when a talented artist discovered through ’streaming’ only has a botched low quality pressing...( put the artist on ignore and sent the dude back to his 3 audiophile pressings on repeat)....

There is a solution though for the medium agnostic, an amalgamation of the essence of digital & analog (credit to mark Levinson). One could make the digital studio master sound like master tape.....but, ohhh, the ritual of cleaning, washing & warp removal...the sheer joy of the ritual and the medium loyalty oath that stood in the way...mmhm

You are criticizing vinyl "dude" for some reason, but do you have a clear message regarding the subject of this thread?

I wouldn't trade my vinyl for digital for anything in the world I have both, and they both sound good, but vinyl does it for me, especially when listening to classical, jazz or blues. Pop? Digital. Recently produced? Digital. But if it was made in the '50s, '60s or '70s, I'll stick with vinyl. Digital, of course, has the 'numbers.' But this is music. 

When I was learning to play guitar, I listened to a lot of pre war country blues all the way back to Charlie Patton on tape and later CD copied from old 78s. It’s amazing how the performances can sometimes transcend the limitations of those old analogue recordings.

It sure is!
