I couldn't figure out what was being compared here (probably because I
couldn't find Parts 1-3 of LP v CD) but I think he's comparing a
commercial LP with a commercial CD. Given that these will have been
mastered differently, a direct comparison in this way tells you nothing.
Now if you were to take exactly the same source material, stick it on
CD and LP, then compare, I suspect you would see something different.

Re. noise floor. I agree that the brain does a great job of filtering
out the rubbish - vinyl whoosh, clicks and pops, not to mention
pre-Dolby tape hiss on AAD CDs. I'd rather it wasn't there in the first
place though.
