Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

Yesterday I again put one of the worst record on my turntable. I do not talk about K-Tel records and the like with their lowest possible HiFi sound.
Again I cannot get really in touch with this record. Sometimes it seems to work, a kind of, but most of the time I am detached. There is something really wrong with the recording. The bits and pieces are somehow unconnectet. All sounds rather artifical. Most worse is the piano. This is not a piano. This is something. A space instrument. The sax is o.k. Now before you hit me :-) I will mention in defence the record is only a "nice price" pressing. But I have other "nice price" pressing which are very good.The record is often used even as a reference recording by some. I really wonder why. It is Joe Jackson body and soul.On the back it is listet that it is a digital recording. Now I know that today digital records are much better, but still, for me the recording shows that digital at the start was inferior to good all tape recording. I wonder why such a format could take of.
Well we all have lustet for something new. I remember selling all my vinyl at that time.

Really. You are judging digital recordings by K-Tel?    Who knows how many records they pressed per press master. K-Tel was the AM radio of records.

I’ve been spending a lot of time and money on the digital end of my system lately to the exclusion of records completely.
I just put on a record.

WOW!

Dear audio2design,
no how can I say. I did not mean the likes like K-Tel or others. They are not worthy to be mention at all. I wanted them to be not mentioned, therefore I mentioned them. Thus this makes it more clear :-)
