does the newly re-issued vinyl abbey road sound much better than the half speed mastered mfsl from the 80's? My mfsl copy sounds like its under water for the first few songs-thanks.
Not to start a fight but, It the LP comes from digital how can it really be analog? I mean isn't a recording originally put on a master TAPE then pressed to vinyl what the big deal is about vinyl? I mean I love vinyl and have many records but once digital, always digital, right?
Whatever cuts grooves is analogue. Digital mastering used to gain better instrument mix with very high sampling rate. No need to worry it's NOT digitized and spoiled. It's been done since early 80's and type of mastering has nothing to do with its quality. Digitally mastered ECM vinyls sound better on cheap turntable than on pricey CD player.
They are using the original analogue tapes tranferred to digital for mixing and mastering. The end result is a file that is sent to the vinyl cutters for pressing.
I have about 9 copies from different countries and this is my take on them.
1.UK original. 2.Japanese pro use. 3.Holland release. 4.Regular japanese Red or Black & 1st MFSL release. 6.American. 7.MFSL Box set or second release.
