This is such a tired old debate, but I guess I'll take de-bait.
Whenever I listen to vinyl I feel like I'm child again, sitting at the kitchen table in my Irish great grandmother's house.
"How about a little Dave Brubeck?"
"Sure grandma!"
"Let me put a little butter on that for you dear."
"Uh, ok."
..... swalpf.
"And would you like some Radiohead now?"
"Yeah!"
"Here, let me just slather some butter on that for you dear"
"Uh, no thank...."
..... swalpf.
"How about some Koma+Bones for dessert?"
"Yes please!"
"And here's a nice bid dollop of butter for that dear"
"No, I don't want any....."
..... swalpf.
..... swalpf.
..... swalpf.
To my ears, a well-produced recording on digital media blows vinyl away. It's a more open medium and offers far more flexibility to make a recording sound a good, or bad as you choose.
