Do not imagine that FM is an analogue source to listen too. There is plenty of digital conversion long before it gets anywhere near the transmitter!
I find I take a good audiophile network switch along with me they sound as good as days of yore….yes, I thought I could detect a drop in sound quality at concerts over the past few years….
Yeah BBC FM has been digitally distributed since 1972.….yes, I thought I could detect a drop in sound quality at concerts over the past few years….
….FM still sounds better than DAB for me. In exactly the same way a digital master transferred to vinyl sounds better than its CD equivalent (or streaming equivalent).

so Kind of Blue is better on digital then on the 6-eye columbia LP in your opinion?Might be something in your system.
Like many LPs the source material is altered to fit the limited "Shannon space".
An analogue master isn’t improved by digitisation.
A digital master can however often be more faithfully conveyed by an analogue medium.

I hope people who defend digital, understand how important the pressing is
Digitisation is not supposed to do that. It is supposed to reproduce the analogue master as faithfully as possible or - as you said - with the minimum of degradation. In this it succeeds better than any known analog method. But then again you knew this.Whichever system gets you closest to the source with the minimum of degradation.

Opinions do not matter. What matters that digital is able to reproduce the original analog master (or what is left of it) more faithfully then even a 7-eye Columbia LP.so Kind of Blue is better on digital then on the 6-eye columbia LP in your opinion?
Our current scientific understanding does not support this view. It supports the view that even cd level conversion is at least very near complete transparency. Even the best of analog has never been this good and never will.What digitisation is supposed to do and what it actually delivers are unfortunately very different indeed.
