I just transfered my vinyl to a 24/96 from my hot rodded Thorens td 150mkii, Michell Tecnoarm and Grace V3. I then compared it to the cd, which I burned to a file. I won't say which one is better but to these ears the vinyl/24/96 file sounds real good.
Gone is the etchy and splashy sound of the cymbals, as well as the slight glare the cd has. The vinyl sounds much more pleasing to these ears. I'm not sure how much was done in the mastering of the vinyl, but boy does it sound good, when compared to the cd.
If you have a table, and you like this show, or you were there, you should pick up the vinyl. You won't be disappointed.
Also, I will hightail my transfer to the first 3 responders that will compare and post their findings here.
Takers?
