Buying Trance on Vinyl over CD versions for better sound quality on high end setup?

Having recently spent alot on speakers, dac etc.
I was thinking of buying alot of my early 2000's trance again in vinyl format & have converted to wav.
Would the vinvyl versions usually be mastered less loud with more detail on a high end sound setup?
I'm under the assumption that most CD's would be made louder as they are usually targeted for people with cheap gear while vinyl is for high end users with their own amps. |

Go for it!
Records around that time had better dynamics, but check into some trance classics on digital as the sound quality on them maybe better than you would expect. Labels like Platipus and Oliver Lieb's Soleib, really do a great job remastering their songs and just don't pump the volume up. |

| I would try to find the digital release if that's an option. |

| ^True, the mastering equipment is much better than it was 10+ years ago as well the companies(people) doing it, but the OP is looking for classics. |

| It varies on the release, generally stuff around 2000, the masters were not usually up to par, dull. HOWEVER, some stuff around there also sounds really good! Try to find a decent sample before buying the track is my recommendation. You're probably in for a lot of work perhaps. HAVE FUN N PLUR 2013. |

| I'd say if its been digitally remastered in recent years or if it was released on CD back in the day you're probably better off with the lossless digital version but if it only came out on vinyl and the only version available is a rip or a vinyl master that was simply uploaded to Beatport, then you're better off with the vinyl. Don't forget that any records you buy that are from 13 years ago are probably not going to be in the best of conditions. |
