l 0 l , good point 1 <| sep |> All LPs are analog . It ' s an analog format . All masters are not necessarily analog . A lot are , a lot aren ' t . Of the masters that are digital , a lot of them are as good if not better than the analog masters were . The only issue is when LPs use masters for other mediums be it CD , MP 3 , or FM . Long story short , it really doesn ' t matter at all if the master recording is analog or digital . All that matters is that the master recording was mastered for the medium that is being produced . Even then . you can still get a decent sound from an LP that was mastered for a CD . It ' s not ideal , but sometimes it ' s worth it if you really want the record . Listening and collecting records , for many people , is more than just about the sound . Whats the point of buying an ANALOGUE vinyl of an album which has lost its analogue properties by being ' digitally remastered '? See above . Again , it doesn ' t matter that the source is digital v analog . I think the bigger issue is that you hate flipping records . If that ' s the case , yea , vinyl maybe isn ' t the ideal format for your tastes and needs .
