Actually I worded that second point rather badly. The point was that
the vinyl cutting process (including special/professional mastering)
will introduce many more audible artefacts than the 44.1khz/16bit
downsampling export for a CD. Vinyl is an audibly inferior medium to
a good digital chain.
Really?
P.S.: I still like my vinyl collection of records. The
haptics. The
nostalgia. The big pictures on the covers.. The handling of a pair
of Technics MK1210 and a good mixer is still awesome for mixes,
etc..
I'm sorry, but if you judge a stereo system by the flashing lights and
the number of knobs and dials available, then we sit on different sides
of the fence. I believe in listening to music as the artist intended
it. Don't get me wrong, there are heaps of crap vinyl recordings out
there, that's for sure.
