Records to spell doom for the CD?

[-Cp]

Unfortunately, what is written above is largely a moot point. There are few, if any, recordings being made today that aren't recorded and/or mastered and/or processed and/or etc. digitally before being put on vinyl or CD.

IOW, pretty much all of it has been compromised at one stage or another.

Actually - only recordings going to CD are mastered Digitally - they have to be in order to go to CD... .

Records are mastered analog....

You'd also be surprised to know that many recordings and mixes are still done using analog - the reason is that it sounds better...
