Unfortunately, I am not an engineer so I am not qualified to pass judgement on almost all of the technical information presented in this forum. However, I do read it with interest and this post is certainly interesting.
I grew up with vinyl and since the advent of CD I preferred its convenience, such as no cleaning, no pops and ticks, small form and easy storage, portability and ability to program tracks and skip tracks. However, at its inception, the sound of red book audio did not seem right to me. It was not until about ten years ago that I began enjoying red book music playback and completely abandoned vinyl with no regrets.
I was not aware until the statements made by the OP that there is a technical reason why CD, and now for me also computer playback of red book music, is capable of sounding really good. My ears told me this long ago.
