'Splain This To Me
Why should I invest $260 for a set of vinyl records that are mastered from digital. From the original master tapes, to 24/192 digital files, then back to vinyl. A process I've never agreed with.
It seems certain to me this project was designed for CD or SACD. It makes more sense to me to buy the CD set for $75 and then record them to analog tape and save a small fortune in the process. But then, why would I even do that? https://www.musicdirect.com/vinyl/Jo...yl-8LP-Box-Set)

For only $260 you get to experience the higher intrinsic distortion and noise of vinyl playback. That, along with the increased inconvenience of spinning vinyl make this a no brainer.
But seriously, if you have a tweaked vinyl rig you like the sound of, and you like the tactile experience of handling physical media, and you like full sized album art, then why not? Tom

I have many fantastic sounding LPs that were sourced from hi res digital, both native digital recordings and native analog recordings.
If sounds good, it is good IMO. I don’t care about provenance when my ears are happy. Of course, if it’s a native analog recording, like the Coltrane you referenced, I agree keeping it all analog is optimum but it’s not always practical .... but by all means give us, the consumer, the choice to purchase on vinyl even if digitally sourced. It’s a buyer beware world, we can’t assume any newly pressed LP has analog mastering just like we can’t assume any analog mastered album will have great mastering choices or a mechanically perfect pressing!!

In the end, I only care how it sounds. Just ordered the 2018 remastered 'White Album' to compare to the 2 originals in my library (one of which is my wife's). Should be an interesting comparison.

Was wondering if you ever did this and what was the outcome?

Vinyl form digital masters
Quote:
Good question. This is from a previous post: "Question came up - almost all new masters are digital from which both vinyl and digital recordings are produced. So why consider vinyl at all - especially for new material?" Well, there are reasons to consider: https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-a...gital-releases
