There is an excellent article in the July, 1983 issue of "High Fidelity" as to
why some CD's don't sound as good as their analog LP counterparts.  Briefly,
the problem lies with the close-in miking used by most major record companies.
You don't (given a choice) generally like to sit in the first few rows at a
concert (classical), do you?  The lack of noise on the CD makes the flaws in
this miking technique stand out.  As HF concludes .. "we'll have to wait until
companies like Telarc with their minimal miking techniques start makk
making CD's to achieve the full potential of the medium.
