VINYL SUCKS!

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?? 

Never vinyl. Only fine Corinthian Leather.

No point in giving you those titles. In each case, I have (had) multiple pressings, and the others don’t sound stone quiet.

In other words: sheer luck. Maybe you could go and pay $600 to that dude who does his “super duper stamper” thing and have him find one for you?

But for kicks, the Led Zeppelin IV remaster is one of them.

I am quite aware that I made a general statement. Over 52 years of listening to hundreds of systems, my (my) ears have found that to be generally true, regardless of components up or downstream, excepting the room component which can wreak havoc with otherwise best laid plans as you are undoubtedly aware.

I can’t say that I would go this far, but someone once told me that listening to vinyl is akin to making the bed and lighting the scented candle before you make love, and digital is more akin to a quickie in a back alley.
