I've had some contact lately with people in the business and often the mastering for vinyl and digital is done by different people. The people doing the digital mastering are very conscious of the sound for airplay. This simple fact is probably doing the most damage. It isn't any wonder that the vinyl ends up with wider DR and a better sound, in some cases. In a sense digital is the victim of its own success (all the radio stations use it). All that we can do is raise the issue of DR at every opportunity and perhaps the truth of the damage being done will permeate the general public. It would be nice if the labels produced two digital masters but it's coming up with an economic reason for that ... I suppose this is where SACD was supposed to come in but your average pop album isn't concerned with that! This is the music "business".
