Buying new vinyl?


Hi,
I know this touch has been discussed for some tome, bit the situation might have changed and I'm just getting into vinyl as I can't stand digital anymore. I thought it was just a matter of getting a good dac but I changed my mind when I tried one. It still sounded digital.

I see that new vinyl is being sold but some claim that Waxtime for instance is simply producing vinyl from CD's. Has the situation changed? Are there any places online to buy vinyl produced from the old analogue masters?

Thanks Alan. Good to know. As for digital, I wish I felt the same. It would be so much easier. I'm not throwing away my CDs, though, but I now look at digital/analogue like transister/tube -- they will always be different.

I think there's a great community spirit in the audiogon forums, and it's fantastic so many are willing to share their experience. It's great of some like digital. I enjoy it sometimes. The 10 best-sounding CDs in my collection sound really good to me. But my ears have started to recognize the limitations of digital, and I think we have been programmed by the industry to believe that digital is modern (more precise, cleaner, lossless, convinient for modern lifestyles, etc.). Long story short, I have simply fallen for vinyl and tubes from a purely sonic experience. My local dealer says digital can create the same feeling, but that it costs ten times as much. I listened to a 20k dac and was not convinced
