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. -- roger long pertec computer corp {ucbvax!unisoft | scgvaxd | trwrb | felix}!pertec!bytebug
