Incredible.
You’re right about this, and the records themselves actually state it on the sleeve, but this mostly down to the recording never actually being stored in an analogue format anymore unfortunately.
What you do get from a record these days is the music transferred from a digital 24bit 96Khz format. So it’s not exactly a CD 16bit 44.1Khz transferred straight to the record. So unless there’s a SACD, DVD-A, Blu-ray Audio or a ‘high def digital audio track’ available this is going to be the best quality you can get of that original digital file.
I appreciate that it tends to be a 24 bit transfer rather than 16 bit but I challenge anyone to be able to tell the difference. I don't think it is humanly possible.
It makes me laugh when people say they have 'invested' in a turntable because of the 'warm' sound of vinyl but the only things they buy are these digital abortions.
(And most everything else is "the album", or occasionally "the EP" ..)
