big_greg hit the nail on the head.
I love both and listen to both.
In the end when was the last time, in quantity, recordings were made all analogue? maybe 25 years ago? so when was the music you listen to made?
I have a new production Mark Knopfler album (Tracker) on both Vinyl and streaming "master files" via Tidal and both sound excellent but to my ears and system the master files on Tidal take it for sound quality. Not by a huge amount but enough in detail and frequency extremes to be noticeable. (Schiit Grungnir Multi Bit DAC). oh fyi Joni Mitchel has some excellent Master files now on Tidal as well that are worth a listen, and better then the records IMO.
Now streamed hifi quality on Tidal (CD quality stream) of let say Santana's Abraxas and its no contest the vinyl is much better, fuller more liquid sounding .
So is it the Digital - analogue or is it the recording era that's the make or break for Digital sounding as good or better then vinyl?
I'm thinking modern digital recordings have it over older recordings either digital or analogue.
I really think its about the quality of recording apposed to the format. Both can and do sound great and not so great.
