Take your 'favourite' CD. Copy it to CD. If you do this properly there

it. *Anyone* will hear the difference between the original CD and LP
copy.

This proves that LP isn't a clone of any master - and that's before the
mastering boys have got at it. And can't possibly enhance the original -
regardless of what the disciples say. It is adding distortion - in the
main.

A better test would be to use a higher quality recording and master it
to both LP and CD and compare.

Absolutely not. *Mastering* to both CD and LP invariably involves changing
the master. Copy would be ok, but then a straight copy to CD will to all
intents and purposes sound the same as the master.

Of course for my test you'd need to choose the material carefully, as not
everything can be directly copied to LP. Another of its disadvantages. ;-)
