Yeah, that's why I tend to be format agnostic. Sometimes the vinyl version sounds better to me whereas other times it is digital. It depends on the mastering, source of the original recording (eg age/condition of master tapes), the type of music (depending on your stereo and room characteristics some types of music may sound better on one format than the other). Also the fun factor, sometimes it is fun just spinning a record or going through old cassette recordings I did in my youth.Well, you learn something new every day!
Taylor Swift's latest album actually isn't badly compressed at all, for whatever reason.
I still won't forget fun.'s Some Nights, where their vinyl version didn't have this sizzle with the guitars. Think they brickwalled it or something because it sounded dreadful whereas the vinyl version was awesome.
