The test should be three way, CD vs. LP vs. the real thing. To make it fair it would have to be more than blind. :-) Ms. McBroom on LP sounded more like a real singer than Ms. McBroom on CD. The differences involve qualities like air, depth, dimensionality, etc. However, the record is NOT a solo album. There are other musical instruments on the recording, e.g. clarinet. I am quite familiar with the live sound of these instruments and find their LP rendition more accurate. Incidentally, I didn't think the sound on the CD was bad at all, UNTIL I heard the LP. Perhaps you should have kept your turntable. Tony Lauck ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!bergil!lauck
