Serious : SP/Zwan vinyl questions....

[incubator]

I have a few pumpkins records from "back in the day" that I hadn't listened in 10+ years.. until now. I've moved house and bought a pretty nice system.

I have SD, Adore and Machina. SD is fine.

I am struck by how much better Machina sounds on vinyl. It sounds fantastic. It's really, really, really good.

Are the vinyl versions of similarly hot CDs improved? Zwan, the Zeitgeist singles etc.. there wasn't ever a zeigeist vinyl right ?

Is the Adore vinyl reissue better than the original (which is a mixed bag imho, some songs are cool some aren't).

Is the Adore vinyl reissue better than the original?

IMO, no, the original mono mix is better.

Are the vinyl versions of similarly hot CDs improved?

similar to Machina, Zwan MSOTS benefits from the natural analog "warmth" of vinyl, IMO.

however, since we are talking about opinions how good vinyl sounds, specifically on the internet, people will disagree.

also, no, Zeitgeist was never released on vinyl. neither was The Future Embrace.

Zeitgeist was going to have a Steve Hoffman Audiofile release on vinyl, this was canceled and instead we got the skittles rainbow of box store versions.
