I've been having some fun ABX-ing the coin-dropping segment of one of
Keith's recent pairs of downloads. Level-matched and time-matched
they sound different to be sure.

However, without reference to the original master from which the CD
and LP were made (which may not have been the same recording) it is
strictly speaking impossible to say which is more accurate.


It is the irregular and unreliable supply of master tapes that makes a
few of us abandon the idea of 'accuracy' and simply concentrate on
enjoying the music most of the time...



On close visual analysis, it appears that the channels of the LP
version differ more than the CD version. A pirori, I'd expect them to
be more similar.

Could this be an example of the greater soundstage that is often
ascribed to the LP by vinylistas?


Interesting postulation...
