   These are exactly my findings from the vast majority of albums that I have   
   bought over the last few years.  Yes you have to pay more but they ARE   
   better mixes.   
      
   I do not work in a recording studio but I don't have to be in the recording   
   studio to fathom out which recording has been compressed more and which is   
   more natural.  I don't go to the lengths you do to convert my LPs to CD as I   
   couldn't be bothered.  What I do do though is buy the CD as well as they are   
   a third the price of the LP.  So I can make a direct comparison of the two   
   mixes.  Yes CD as a medium is superior to vinyl, we all know that, but LPs   
   are in general better recordings.   
      
   Obviously this is not the case for every recordings but I reckon easily as   
   high as 90% of the albums that I have boought over the last few years.   
      
   MadManMoon obviously has not bought an LP recently.   
      
   His loss, our gain.   
   Listen to the music not the media or player.
