I heard the vinyl version of Random Access Memories playing on a cheap turntable and was surprised how good it sounded. I'd like to A/B the vinyl vs. CD versions through the same speakers to hear how they compare.

They mastered it on tape, so assumedly analog would have the edge.
Mastering for vinyl is very different than any other medium. You need to reduce bass for one so that the needle stays in the groove. The digital version is likely to be the most faithful representation of the tapes, assuming high quality AD was used, which I'm certain it was.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
whoa whoa whoa, no love for: Giorgio, Instant crush, Lose yourself to dance, Beyond, doin it right (favorite), Contact?
Truly one of the greatest albums ever made IMO.
missing daft punk very much
