My friend from Music Direct he prefers cd on classical the rest on vynil.I think if I remember classical can be more manipulated digitally dynamically speaking..
Luckily, the majority of my vinyl collection was purchased in the 60s and 70s, prior to the 1982 digital CD invention. However I do agree that a new vinyl made from a 24/96 source is likely to sound very good. I base this observation on listening to the same record both on 16/44 on my CD transport and 24/96 on my streamer, and the streamer version always sounds a little better. But when I play a 16/44 record on both, I hear basically no difference.

@yoyoyaya is correct that CDs technically have a higher dynamic range than vinyl—however mastering on CD tends to be extremely compressed, whereas good vinyl mastering engineers make their records dynamic, often more so than their CD counterparts. IMO it is all about the mastering. You can have a record mastered from digital that sounds terrible or stunning depending on how it was mastered. Same for AAA. |
