As long as you like it and are happy with the results that you have been able to achieve, that’s all that really matters.
This is the kind and of vinyl rip I appreciate listening to - an excellent album by the great Eddie Durham, sadly never issued on CD:
Lovely version of "Stardust".
I made the vinyl rip myself but when I want to listen to it, I always play the vinyl, not because the rip sounds "digital", but simply because the resolution of my digital system brings out the imperfections of the vinyl rip more clearly (noise, clicks...). If I had a better quality copy and a better quality turntable, maybe I could get a really good quality rip, but it's simply not worth it to me as I enjoy listening to it as is. Mint versions of this album are not easy to find anyway. And why bother?
Eddie Durham is an interesting, and important, musician. He's known as the first to record on electric guitar. I love the way he plays guitar. But he also played trombone, was a popular arranger during the 1930s for big bands, led an all-girl group after the war, and made a few records before passing away in 1987.

Is this the recording direct or through your system? I thought the thread was about sound through a system...This is the kind and of vinyl rip I appreciate listening to - an excellent album by the great Eddie Durham, sadly never issued on CD:

To my ears, the whole system sounds very veiled. It's difficult to assess each tube's sounds while the forwarded constant veil/bright sound masks tube sounds behind it. The veil is from everywhere (speakers, sources, and cables). The best way to check the veil is comparing the audio sound and the original music.Here is another one I just did

I prefer the 2A3 over the two others. The 300B and 211 do sound (more?) veiled.
Where the different amplifiers volume-matched?
Funny, I was just watching this...
It failed to impress me. Too much bass, bloated and boring sound, compared to the version on Qobuz the difference is very obvious, and I doubt that the phone recording is to blame here.
Perhaps there are aspects of that video that you like. The
Ok, so there is something in this track that bothers you when you stream it from Tidal, that you don't find when listening to that video. From your various comments, it seems that pretty much anything on Tidal sounds bad to your ears - am I wrong ?
No I like some stuff and have posted examples. With this track there's a gentleness/delecacy to the vocal that I'm not getting.
Some manufacturers are brave enough to include video recordings of their speakers/systems. Here's one:
I can't help but wondering how the recording (microphone...) affects the sound because the end result is not very pleasant (listen on headphones), IMO (sounds thin and tinny). Would they be better served by a higher quality microphone & ADC ? Or is the recording revealing issues with the speaker ?
Here is the track on Qobuz: https://open.qobuz.com/track/96893173
