While I have found there to be little discernible difference between
vinyl and CD - it's rare in my experience. I much prefer the sound of
vinyl (digitised or not) to CDs, on the whole. And well worth the effort.


I think it would be wise to distinguish between two situations here.

1) Where you compare a 'professional' LP release with a 'professional' CD
release of (nominally) the same recording or album. ('Professional' here
means what you'd buy from a company in a shop.)

2) Where you have carefully made a CD copy of an LP.

In case (1) it isn't surprising that the two can audibly differ, They are
often equalised or compressed in different ways, for example. And may also
be clipped on CD.

In my experience in case (2) they can easily be audibly indistinguishable
or have a level of audible difference that is too small to really notice or
care about.

Slainte,

Jim
