(April 7, 2016 at 12:35 am)Kosh Wrote: As we've established, CD is a superior format over vinyl when it comes down to the measurable specs.   The problem with CD isn't in the format, but in the mastering process. In the mid 1990's we started to see the "Loudness War" take hold.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

I am personally very sensitive to the effects of the Loudness War, and is the main reason I started getting back into Vinyl about 10 years ago.

How does switching to vinyl help? If masters exist which are free from coloration, why not just record them onto a CD? What's the point of recording them onto a vastly inferior format? Or is it the same master and the coloring effects inherent in vinyl neutralize the offending qualities of the master?

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
