> This is also why modern vinyl releases sound a lot better than digital: they are mastered differently since its assumed everyone is going to be listening on good equipment.

Sorry, I don't know much about sound so here comes probably the most stupid question of the day (but hope never dies):

does this mean that I might get better sound if I would buy a vinyl & one of those turntables which can directly digitize to USB, then if I would buy & download the digital song directly (or maybe even the CD)? Thx

(Assuming you're okay with piracy…) You're better off searching for vinyl rips where people with good equipment have done the heavy lifting for you.

  • Actually you're right (what shall I say, for some mysterious reason I didn't think about it) => I'll first do a comparison with whatever I find and then if it does sound better I'll try to achieve the same results on my own (I'm obsessed with owning originals). Thx :)
