This is not a thread about whether if CD or vinyl is the best format to reproduce music accurately. That´s already been done way too many times.
Instead, let me throw two statements at you, and if you object against them then tell me why:
1. A recording where one or more tracks were recorded solely using analog equipment from source to master, is more "pure" - at least for the analog part - when recorded onto vinyl, than to CD.
2. A recording where all tracks at some point went through digital equipment, for instance on the mastering limiter, is pointless having recorded onto vinyl, as it will just be a downgrading "special effect".
So let´see what you think about this
Next one: If all agreed (I suppose not) to the above, from which year would the market be so overloaded with recordings as defined in statements two that it makes no more sense to buy vinyls from such a "purist" perspective? The first purely digitally recorded album is by Ry Cooder and came out in 78, but I wouldn´t expect that we´d have gone past 90 % till say 1983.
Heck, there can even be digital masters of Beatles records pressed on vinyl that serves no other purpose than giving the listener a nostalgic feeling from the special efx of vinyl.
Again, there can be many reasons to like vinyl, not least the more physical aspect and feeling to it. This is not what I´m trying to discuss here.
