What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital?

So this is not an effort to start a medium-war thread, rather in my view some records just seem to be mastered better on the vinyl record version than the digital version. Three that spring to mind from my record collection:

  • Henri Texier - Varech
  • Tom Misch - Geography
  • JLin - Black Origami (this very surprisingly to me)


I know everyone’s system is different, everyone’s ears are different and everyone’s tastes are different, but for the purposes of this discussion let us assume that YOU are the final arbiter of objective reality!

More appropriate question could be - Which cds sound closest to records ?
Of what I heard, Cielo e Terra by Al Di Meola and Siroco by Paco de Lucia. Both analog recordings but the latter was digitally mastered. Still, it is quite a distance from vinyl. For the rest the distance is ridiculous.

Forgot to mention El Camaron/Paco de Lucia analog recordings. They are not good, some pretty bad. Original Spanish cds were very well done.
