Based on your definition, your anwers are so wrong that I am stunned!

The best way to create the illusion of a real performance is to have a musician(s) pretend to play their instruments while a hidden recording and speakers provide the sound.

This was done at audio shows 40 years ago by AR speakers -- I saw a demo in the late 1960's. Of course the music was a simple string quartet, not a complex full orchestra, but the illusion was very good with a 15ips analog tape and AR speakers from the 1960's!

I'm sure the illusion could be created today with analog tape recordings, digital tape recordings, CDs made from analog or digital tape recordings and especially by direct-to-CD recordings.

I doubt if the illusion could be created using a vinyl record or cassette tape made from an analog or digital mastertape.

I'm not sure if any more-compressed-than-Redbook-CD formats such as Mini-discs or CD3's could create the illusion. I'd expect Mini-discs would work, but not CD3's burned at the typical 128bps.

Your strange belief that vinyl records and cassette tapes have better resolution than Redbook CDs is one of the most bizzare beliefs I've ever read over 40 years as an audiophile.

Exactly what are you smoking to believe that any analog cassettes ever made have better resolution than CDs?

And can I have some?
