Analogue from Digital

The correct answer nobody wants to give is vinyl always sounds better because even if all you do is drag a stylus through it this at least is analog, and analog beats digital, full stop period.

Nobody wants to give that answer because it makes no sense.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my initial question. I'm leaning towards confining my future vinyl purchases to true analogue recordings, buy CDs of digital recordings by artists I really want to support, and stream the rest. 

 By the mid 1980's just about everything was recorded digitally

that's not true

I also see no point now in buying any new vinyl. It’s almost all digitized now and notice the vagueness where most new pressings now never say it’s all analogue. This is because I have found out that the cutting lathes are driven digitally. So even if great care was taken keep it all analogue the final “mile” of the signal going to the lathe is often digital.

the sound of most new vinyl including reissues is antiseptic, loud, and flat. The original analogue vinyl may not be as in-your-face loud with every instrument overhyped as with the new digitized pressings. But I typically find the older original pressings are more liquid with depth, warmth, and ambiance

dacs have improved greatly and continue to improve. Buying new or new reissue vinyl means you are stuck with whatever digital converter they used at the cutting lathe.

I continue to buy original vinyl but will no longer spend money on new pressings. Been disappointed too many times with loud antiseptic flat grainy sound.
