Okay, so I have an album made in 2013 on both cd and vinyl. Played back on the same speakers ran through the same receiver, the vinyl completely destroys it. The album was recorded in 2013. The cd honestly does sound pretty good, but the vinyl has more ‘punch’, a deeper sound and richer tones. I can feel the percussion beat in my chest and the sound feels the whole house, neither of which happen on the cd. And there are little details and intricacies I hear on the vinyl not on the cd. It could very well be a difference in mastering, but if they are going to consistently and always give cds over compressed and aliased where every instrument blends into each other and nothing pops, and give the master with dynamic range, a more carefully curved Eq, and overall greater care to vinyl then that’s what I’m going to pick. If cd masters weren’t mastered like shit it might be different.
