Incorrect. I've stated several times that I WANT CD to
be superior in every way, and that's the truth. They
are more convenient, more readily available, and there
is more music (my main interest) available in print. I
listen to CDs a great deal more than I listen to LPs
and I own many more CDs than I do LPs. Further, I
think that the average CD sounds better in just about
every way to the average LP. I would have to be an
idiot to not CDs to sound better. And, I'm a believer
in science and I understand that the science as we
presently understand it tells us that CDs should sound
better than all LPs.
To explain slightly, a CD and decent CD player will give
an exact rendition of the material recorded on that CD.
Philips and Sony made sure the parameters were up to
this when launching the first domestic system capable of
giving 'studio' quality. But it can't make up for a poor
quality master tape or whatever - it just reproduces
that warts and all.
The AES paper that was recently referenced seems to
indicate that given the same input, CD masters can sound
different one from the other.
Remember, this is a 14 year old AES conference paper, not a JAES article.
AFAIK the only part of a conference paper that is formally reviewed is the
title, and that review is at a fairly low level. So, any statements you find
in the paper are questionable, and in this case, pretty much obsolete. One
of the things that happened when this paper was given, was that it was
questioned. None of those questions or the answers are in the paper.
