Of course LP playback equipment varies far more in its

But your method eliminates that variable completely, and
the mastering decisions of a commercial CD aren't a
factor, either.

Leaping assumptions there - the independent observer has
managed two maxims from anecdote.


No assumptions there at all. Just the facts.


Assumption 1 - CD-standard recording captures the entire LP music recording.


It's a reasonable assumption that the *audible part* of any LP is fully
captured by a decent CD transcription of it.

Assumption 2 - CD-standard recording captures in entirety any variance
in sources.


What variances in *this* souce -- would you suggest fail to be
captured?


These assumptions aren't facts.


What data would demonstrate that they are or are not, to you?
How would you falsify Mr. Satz' claims?
