Jeez, it was just a part of the 'digital bull****' when the MI was
trying to con a generation of idiots over to a new 'perfect sound for
life' medium - if CD was as 'perfectly accurate' as a few here claim,
why should it sound *any* different to the original master??


Not that I wish to support the 'industry line' as such but isnt the
obvious thing here that it *shouldnt* sound different to the master, yet
it is likely to sound quite different to tape / vinyl previously made
from the original master ?


It's been explained to the group idiot often enough that vinyl is *not*
commonly made from a studio master, but from a cutting one. This is
because of the limitations of vinyl. CD, however, *could* be made direct
from the studio master. But may have extra processing added anyway - for
'artistic' rather than engineering reasons.
