Default Seeking the Original Intent

It’s an interesting, if first-world, problem. If I have the same recording in multiple formats, I tend to default to the one which I enjoy the most (which may not always be the best “audiophile” sound) and forget the rest. Usually this is the format for which the recording was originally mastered, so for instance most 50s-70s recordings I prefer on vinyl, while music more recently recorded in the age of modern digital, especially classical, is better digital. The exception to that is when I’m just relaxing and don’t feel like getting up to flip records - then it all sounds good from the server using Roon and an iPad.[emoji41]

As for modern recordings on vinyl, I guess I don’t see the point in vinyl issues of music that’s been well recorded and mastered for digital on good modern digital equipment.
