No vinyl system can ever sound as good as CD - as a principle.

Nonsense - there is no *universal* principle of 'sounds as good'

As soon as you use the phrase "high fidelity" and actually mean it, you
have referenced a universal principle of 'sounds as good".

There's an easy test for this. Transfer - using the best possible
equipment - an LP to CD. Ask the golden eared boys to tell which is
which in a blind test. They won't be able to. And I'll put serious
money up for a bet if someone wants to try. But they'll have to
equal it.

I think a lot of people will tell the difference.

Not in a blind, level-matched, time-synched listening test.

IME acoustic
instruments and voice sound noticeably different.

I seriously doubt that you've done a blind, level-matched, time-synched
listening test.

They are hard to do, particularly in this case.
