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.
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.

I haven’t listened to the cd version, but I have listened to the Tidal master version and I have to say the fidelity is disappointing. Not very good dynamics, pretty flat, wasn’t impressed. I love the title cut. I really hope Maynard has it re-recorded with fidelity best possible fidelity in mind. They put on a great show. I saw them in Tulsa recently. |
