Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy

My copy sucks. With digital, the shakers on the opening track pop out in front of my speakers and sound real. With my vinyl copy, they sound flat and they are not as tightly spaced. This is just one example that holds true for the entire album. It is not my deck-most of my records sound better and a good number sound wayyy better. 

I have the originals which don’t sound unduly bright....big, spacious, excellent.  Are you sure about your cartridge installation/adjustment?

I have all original UK pressings  - they are all superb.  Listening to Aion at the moment - sublime.

i am beginning to think ya got to have the originals for my kind of listening preference.

My MoFi releases sound great (I have very low serial numbers). However, I am partial to the MoFi digital remasters on hybrid CD/SACD (played through my Ayre CX-7e mp). The Redbook layer is stellar. I’ll pull out the box set vinyl copies in the morning for a comparison.
