Fear Inoculum in Vinyl

Anybody else enjoying the vinyl edition of this great album ? I thought the CD was well recorded but to my ears the vinyl edition is much better. My vinyl playback and digital system are very close in sound quality with different presentations. I could do without the extras that pushed up the price but having said that if you like Tool and play vinyl this album is a must listen.

Even if that is true, it doesn't matter much.

CDs have greater dynamic range than vinyl. And besides, we cannot hear ultrasonic frequencies and they do not exist in music.

This is the same person that asked if all DACs sound the same.  Troll.

The album was recorded in 2019 in digital.

No point in owning the LP  other than you like "vinyl."

The LP/CD/file will sound the same-assuming each medium is of the same caliber.

No.

Vinyl has clicks, pops, and hiss.

Even if you have an expensive turntable, your system will have nonlinearities that digital systems are immune to.

Not saying digital is perfect, but it's still better.
