Blue Note Tone Poet Series

Nitewulf,
We seem to be in agreement on this issue.  One of the things that has been discussed and explained, but that I just can't grasp is why or how it is that a digital master or CD can be used to make a vinyl record and almost invariably the vinyl version will sound better assuming the surfaces are clean and the spindle hole is centered.  That just defies logic.  In any event the WaxTime records that I have bought all sound very good.

Bill,

I don't 100% agree there, it all depends on your digital chain right, so if your analogue chain is head and shoulders above your digital chain, then sure the vinyl sourced from CD could sound better.  I personally moved to lossless digital a while back (so files only, regular 16bit and high res as well), and with a good dac and good amp, the music sounds amazing. But I have a great analog chain as well and that's why prefer the all analog reissues because they demonstrate that difference. I'm a huge proponent of lossless digital files. CDs are another issue because then the CD player or transport has to be really good and so on.
