Correct. The thing with vinyl, the noise is of a nature that is obvious and easy for anyone to hear. Even the most rudimentary novice audiophile, if the pop is loud enough, they will hear it. The thing with digital, the noise is interwoven right into the signal. This greatly annoys skilled experienced discerning listeners, those who have refined their knowledge base of all the different ways music can sound good or bad. For us digital is far noisier than vinyl. But most have a hard time explaining how, typically falling back on stuff like vinyl is warmer. The disciples of digits then seize on this and say we like it cuz it's colored. Whatever. Point is you digitize records you get the worst of both worlds: obvious surface noise and insidious digital noise.
Exactly. Why I was chasing down the best sounding recordings even as far back as the 1970's. Technics, Kenwood, JBL and lamp cord. Not even a detachable power cord. Because there were none back then. But with the right record we were spellbound. Literally. Friend and I sat up one night listening to the Crime of the Century MoFi and on a rowdy college campus (WSU) for 40 minutes we were in our own little world.
Imagine if someone told me back then, a guy will come along find ordinary copies that sound ten times better than this MoFi, which frankly is hopelessly stepped on. Would have been every bit as skeptical then as a lot of these guys are now. So I get it. But it's true.
Just went and looked to be sure and yes, that's the one. The performance is terrific. Use the Walker Enzyme 4step method to get the most out of it. Then if you like it enough to try a White Hot like mine will blow your mind! For only about 12 times the price too! 😂😂 Damn they are expensive! But then you hear what one does, it is like a whole system upgrade. Beyond a whole system upgrade. Which makes it a bargain, I guess.
Digitizing vinyl? Ugh...it defeats the whole purpose of buying vinyl.

Lol, upgrading equipment before looking to upgrade vinyl? Nope! A bad sounding pressing is a bad sounding pressing, no matter what you play it on! Get a pressing that sounds right and its magical!

I believe the pressing of 1812 MC is referring to is this one:
SPA 108 - TCHAIKOVSKY - 1812 Overture ALWYN London Symph Orch.
Found copy of it on ebay from a UK seller, in mint condition. Only paid $25. Whether or not it is a hot stamper, too soon to tell, as it has not been played.
