Hipsters paying 2-3x as much for a vinyl LP which objectively has worse audio quality than a CD.
Most CDs pressed after the mid-90's are audiological garbage not worth paying for.
If the waveform looks like this, I ain't buying it:
They usually have a higher bitrate than you can get from streaming. There's not one CD I have that I immediately tell the difference in quality of I switch between streaming (or even a standard mp3 actually) and a CD. CD wins every time.
So you have a crap master. Compare the same master between compact disc and vinyl when making your judgments.
alot of people dont work with audio, but i actually have, you may be downvoted, but you are correct.
Most of the records I buy come with bandcamp codes. I can play the flac files if I want digital audio, physical media for me is about the thing itself. Often get full sized posters and patches. Shit I'll buy a tape over the cd too
