Your proof is nonsense (a few audiophile label recordings & your subjective opinions = cassettes sound better than CD's?

The Sheffield LP was direct-to-disc while the tape and CD were made from a back-up mastertape. Therefore the cassette tape and CD have added distortion from the tape recorder, and most likely have some additional mastering engineer processing that could have degraded the sound quality.

Your subjective opinions that a few audiophile label recordings prove cassettes generally sound better than CDs is weak evidence.

Would you have us believe that even with your VERY strong beliefs that LPs sound better than other mediums, you actually spent (wasted?) a huge amount of money on different medium audiophile versions of the same recordings to do an experiment? And the experiment is your proof that cassettes sound better than CD's?

Could there be a few exceptional cassettes and LPs that sound better than a typical CD -- sure there are. But a few exceptions don't support your generalizations about recording mediums.

You are unlikely to find anyone else to agree with you that cassettes sound better than CDs. That makes your belief very unusual and very strange.

Of course strange people are welcome in this asylum even if they title their post with a very insulting: "You don't get out and listen much do you?"
