One argument with vinyls that I could realistically accept is that they were mastered with different goals. And thus that experience is more pleasing.
Now, for that to apply to new production is very questionable. But sure, with older vinyls I could see it. |

Yes, I notice the same thing. It's frustrating because I mostly play the digitized versions for convenience, but they really don't sound as good. I just put it down to my sound card not being good enough for recording.

RCA sold some SACDs that sounded nicer & fuller than the CDs of the same artist (Rubinstein) claiming that it was using the original masters where some had used a 3 microphone recording. Why the difference as both the SACD & the CD were digitals? The recording engineer and/or the producer wanted to create a certain sound to their tastes. I have a "producer's cut" recording where Emmy Lou Harris sounded from the front speakers while the guitar was coming from the back; does not make sense. |

Meanwhile, the OP is waiting for the day when there are no more fossil fuels and purists are pining for the good old days of REAL PVC vinyl rather than whatever late C21 substitute takes its place

RCA ended about 1986. Thomson (France) bought the label. Various people sell various products under licenced use of the name.
SACD was first released in 1999, but hardly any content till 2002. Basically dead by 2007 because it was aimed at niche Audio CD refusniks and offered nothing more in quality compared to properly mastered CDs, and also MP3 downloads at much lower quality started to dominate by then. Also very few players. |

Quite inexpensive gear can digitise analogue content now at professional quality. But not record or tape players with built-in USB!

Yes, well. The issue is the time, and I need to track down a version of Audacity that actually works.
