Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming

It is about the value you place on better sound quality. I find each time you double (or better) the investment (a well researched and chosen upgrade), I get a “wow… that sounds better” to me. That makes me very satisfied and happy.  So, on all my components, I have gone from ~$500 -> $1,000 -> $2K -> $5K -> $10K -> $20K over the last fifty years. Each has been incredibly satisfying and worthwhile. I could not be happier. Lots of people would have stopped at the first purchase and called everyone that went further a fool. 
 

So, it is what makes you happy. I told you what makes me happy. If the market does well, maybe I have time to go to the next level. But if not I enjoy my system for three hours a day and am happy I did it.

One of the topics that will never go away...

Hear an LP that is recorded/transferred on a nice setup, the file should sound identical to the LP.

Most of the Rock/Alt Rock from the 80/90's and beyond is digitally recorded. I would imagine the quality of the digital file/transfer(Digital to analog)  for the "stamper" used pressing the LP would come in the question?

What sounds "better" or more "convincing" then, is the playback rig and the final subjective call from the ears?

“I listened to a Rose rs150 ($5000), but it didn't sound 4 times better than the Bluesound Vault.”
@mojo771 

Bluesound iOS app is very nice. I suggest trying an external DAC with Vault, you should hear noticeable improvement over its internal DAC which is decent at best. May be consider a NOS DAC like Border Patrol,

Interesting idea.  Thanks

Cutting vinyl from a digital source if done by top remastering engineers 

Ryan Smith 

CHris Bellman 

Bernie ect…

the digital to vinyl can absolutely improve the file that beats

digital playback

in most cases the vinyl reissue is typically been better 

 a cd playback on a pretty nice Luxman

player

Poor mastering = poor vinyl sound quality

you can do a lot to a file

Maybe choices that weren’t available at the time of the recording

Biggest difference is a slight veiled  with cd playback sound overall

Good luck Willy -T
