One thing to ponder is just what are we using as a reference point?  If
we compare a CD to an LP in a test such as this, and they sound 
different, we are supposed to immediately come to the conclusion that
the LP sounds "right", and the CD is "wrong?"  I've listened to the
"West of Oz" CD on my system, and thought it sounded just fine.

On the other hand, we all heard what the "official" Sheffield line on
digital was before they brought out their line of CDs.  Perhaps they've
mixed them to sound different than their LPs just to fuel the anti-CD
arguments?

I no longer own a turntable, so perhaps I am biased.  But if anyone
wants to bring Ms. McBroom over to my place, I'd be glad to participate
in a double-blind test of CD vs. the real thing. :-)  To make any other
sort of comparison is like comparing apples and oranges.
