Tru blu, I wish I lived in Brooklyn so I could visit you. I note that the record/CD comparison you made involved a 1961 recording, which of course started as an analog tape. I kind of wonder what comparisons using current recordings (which start as digital) would show. The CD would be digital all the way - with maybe some compression or digital bit-reduction, judging from the CDs that boast of being uncompressed! - while the LP copies would have passed through a DAC process. This comparison business might be more complicated than I thought. Once again, welcome to the real world. . .
