I heard the vinyl version of Random Access Memories playing on a cheap turntable and was surprised how good it sounded.
I'd like to A/B the vinyl vs. CD versions through the same speakers to hear how they compare.
- ramesh31 4y agoThey mastered it on tape, so assumedly analog would have the edge.
- musicale 3y agoThe CD version sounds good on headphones and OK through my small speakers. But the vinyl sound was arresting - maybe a smaller stereo image or something else with the mastering.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoNot necessarily. Mastering for vinyl is very different than any other medium. You need to reduce bass for one so that the needle stays in the groove. The digital version is likely to be the most faithful representation of the tapes, assuming high quality AD was used, which I'm certain it was.
