Yet another person that hasn't listened to a recent release on vinyl and
compared it to the same release on CD then?
You'd be eating your words if you had. For some reason the sound
engineers
that mix vinyl, in general, don't compress the hell out of the dynamic
range
like they do CD.


That depends on the CD.


Which is why I put 'in general' as it has been what I have found more
often than not.
LPs do cost about 3 times the price of CDs now (~£18) but are 'in general'
pressed on good quality heavy weight virgin vinyl.



And are still far inferiror in every technical aspect than a standard CD,
*IF* the same music is put on both. Whether it is or isn't is simply a
marketing choice.
