Kipdent, I too wonder if maybe some of the new vinyl(and which ones?) have had digital involved. Now that digital has improved, maybe it isn't quite as necessary to have all analog. I do know that I don't listen to earlier lps that have digital in them-even on Japanese vinyl.
Kipdent - I have just a few digitaly remastered LPs that sound decent, most of them - particulary Pop or Alternative - sound almost like my digital source (just with clicks and pops).
I recently had a audiophile friend over for a listen.He brought his copy of Sphere's "Flight Path". It absolutely floored me. It had such a low sound floor. I really don't know much about these guys other than they were Tholonius Monk's band.These guys have chops! A really amazing performance on what may be the best sounding jazz album I have ever heard.
I just found a copy for myself at the local used record shop for $3.99!
Emorrisiv, an absolutely phenomenal album. Note the unintended irony of the title, "Flight Path," and on the reverse, a photo of the artists standing in front of New York's twin Trade Center towers. The album was recorded (by Rudy Van Gelder) in the early 80s.
