It's a matter of opinion. But I will say the new vinyl ordinary releases, ie sold at Target, etc, don't sound as good as the older vinyl quite probably because we are being duped by Vinyl made from digital masters. The premium vinyl, like Dino on 45 RPM, sound fantastic. But if you don't like getting up every 25 minutes, you sure are not going to tolerate 45 RPMs.
And the cost between $35-50-125 are worth the sound, but are they worth the money???
I recently compared a CSN record new release to the digital (using hegel h590, and Monitor Audio Gold 300 5G) and the digital blew away the vinyl (on a VPI Prime 21 with Grado Sonata 3). However, some older records, like Mantovani sounded very nice.
So is it worth blowing 50- $100 on new single releases??
