the CD case (pun)
a better transient response
system can response to rapidly rising or falling frequencies viz transients.
transient rise time of about 7 or 8 microseconds while CD is somewhat
slower at around 23 microseconds thus LP is theoretically better at
dealing with decay and such -
I would not have thought that 16 x 10

How would one go about measuring this in any case ?

Your technojabber is probably pointless enough for the 'borgs to accept you.
However, you need to upgrade your wetware to eliminate foolish questions
such as this one:

does this make any audible difference in practice

If you want to be a 'borg and fixate on meaningless measurements, then you
must forswear all reliance on subjective criteria. You can't have it both
ways: A human being cares about sound and a 'borg cares about measurements.
If you are ready to get fully implanted and assimilated, you must be willing
to stop wondering if anything is audible.

Does it make an audible difference or not is not a question our
resident ridiculer accepts as pertinent.

You must ask if it makes you feel different.

Understand that George probably crushes one or both of his
nuts with a pair of vice grips before playing Metallica to
get in the proper frame of mind. After that audible
differences really have no bearing on his enjoyment.
