Digitally remastered vinyl?

There are people who claim that certain early 80's digital recorders (Soundstream & 3M) were superior to any current 16/44.1 technology. Unfortunately these systems never attained wide use. Ry Cooder's "Bop 'Til You Drop" and Donald Fagen's "Nightfly" are excellent sounding pop recordings made with these machines.

The problem with the majority of early 80's digital recordings is that few people understood the importance of jitter and dither. When attention is not paid to these issues a recording can become brittle and generally unpleasant sounding.

Fagen's "Nightfly" IS a good example, Onhwy61. I have a Japanese pressing of this LP it is one of the better sounding LP's I've heard of any kind. Sadly, these examples are MOST rare/

I own 70% of ECM released vinyl albums(arround 100) almost all digitally recorded or mixed and all with no exception sound superb. More than half on my collection are pressed in Germany.

If the/a problem with CDs is that the original digital recording methods did not capture all the information that is captured by analog equipment, how can an LP of digitally remasteredtaape possibly be as good as analog? The LP may add various colorations and distortions, but it can't add information that was lost at the time a digital recorder was introduced into the chain.

Jackcob, the LP playback system does introduce phase differences between L and R channels and this is what makes most people think that vinyl is more "real" than CDs. If the original digital recording, however, contains these clues (and a good digital recording can contain these clues if the recorder/engineer knows what he/she is doing), then the CD play back will be just as good as the vinyl, minus, of course, the noise etc..
