Better, worse, superior, inferior. All you're really doing with these adjectives is saying which of two different 'sounds' you prefer. I agree that LP's can have a magic quality but I am not persuaded it is a more realistic one, that we are being charmed by what 'live' music really sounds like. I like LP's when I'm listening to them, CD's when I'm listening them. I hear different virtues, different deficiencies. A/B ing to the extent that it's possible (CD transfer of LP) dramatizes the differences, but I usually find them more interesting than matters of overall superiority and inferiority.
I wish I trusted the shippers so I could send my TT to RMAF where some of us could play this game there. But I don't.
