I do agree that digital is better these days but I am not ready to give up my vinyl just yet. To my ears vinyl just sounds so right. With all of its "limitations". I can listen to it at normal listening levels and not feel like I have to turn it up to hear it all, not to mention that certain instruments digitally do not sound right to my ears.
Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars?
I'm seeing new vinyl sold in many unexpected places these days.
For those who have bought a lot of new vinyl, I'm wondering if these tend to be mastered differently from similar newer CD remasters that often show effects of the "Loudness Wars"?
Is it a mixed bag perhaps? Much like CDs?
I wonder because if I knew there was a different mastering done for new vinyl I might consider buying some if I knew.
But new vinyl is expensive and I would not want to get essentially the same end result in regards to sound quality as I would get with CD for much less.
Just wondering.
