Sound quality of new vinyl recordings.

@ghdprentice and I know close to 0 about streaming.

We are probably the two opposite examples - system-wise, your system is as good as it gets (I know you keep improving it) and I don't just have poor albums but very basic components as well, that don't help.

That said, there are CDs that just suck too. I guess we either have good sources pre 80s or we don't - which 90% of what I listen to. 

@mapman 

I don’t see your system under virtual systems… that would be really helpful.

@ghdprentice its very simple and downsized  these days but sound is  the best I’ve ever had. Cambridge Evo 150 to Ohm Walsh F5 speakers in one room and kef ls50 metas +sub in another. Phono source is Denon dl103r cart on Linn Axis with Linn Basic tonearm to Electrocompaniet step up transformer to Rega mini phono to Cambridge. I use the Rega to provide A2d conversion so I can digitize my records for my music library. I use Plex and Plexamp mainly to stream from my library supplemented by the Evo streaming capabilities for internet radio, etc.  

OP,

Don’t be discouraged by the negative comments in reference to "new vinyl" including my own. While in many cases I have preferred the original pressings from my youth I have also purchased many of the repressed and remastered LP’s that are available today on artists from the 60’s and 70’s and also those recording today. As bdp24 stated there are a number of very good manufacturers that are putting out fabulous LP’s. Websites like Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct are a great source for music and new releases from Analog Productions, MFSL and many other manufacturers sound superb even if some do have a digital step in the process. Pressing plants like QRP and RTI are generally very high on quality. And if you want to search for original pressings from years back websites like Discogs is a great source and also great for research.

While I listen to music on LP’s, streaming and CD’s and enjoy them all listening to LP’s for me is an experience.

as i did a little research, new pressings are very rarely purely analog. And then what would be the point, you could just get it much cheaper in a digital source
