Alison Kraus : So long so wrong ; Vinyl


Picked this up on Vinyl for christmas. Whilst its well mastered and balanced it lacked realism and didnt sound natural.

Is this a digital recordign put out on vinyl does anyone know?

The album garnered much praise from Stereophile, Absolute Sound and Hi Fi+.

Of course that doesn't automatically make it good, but this double LP sounds excellent on my system. Admittedly It is a bit "cooler" tonally than "Forget about It" by Allison Krauss, but I would not give up my copy.

Is it a digital recording? I would be surprised if it were not. I think the problem with digital is moving the data around and converting it to CD. The process has improved dramatically over the years and direct conversion from digital to analog at the studio for LP seems to be pretty darn effective.

I have a number of LP's that were recorded digitally and many of them are excellent. Of course I also have old digital recordings pressed to LP that suck, but then again the CD sucks too :^).
