"Religion is based on faith. Science is based on facts."
Ummm, science is also based on faith. Faith in the scientific method at the least. Faith in your techniques, faith in your level of control. Look at how much faith you have in your tests and yet they are bogus. Not saying that the record may not sound better (or worse) than the CD, merely that your conclusion that records are more accurate is unsupportable based upon your experience.
The rub is that you are taking it as an element of faith that the systemic variables are controlled to the point where the only delta is the medium and you are far, far from that condition. Infinitely far actually since without qualifications it's a limit, not an achievable condition. And it's hard to do much better since so much of the chain is beyond your control. Too many uncontrolled variables...
I believe science and faith are both good things, but we need to know their limits.
