Which version of the Kleiber/Beethoven 5th are you talking about? The newer "Originals" version is markedly better than the earlier issue. It has been a long time since I have heard the LP.I did not say there was no difference between the LP versions and CD versions of recordings that I have listened to. I said the difference is small, and for me not worth getting too excited about in most instances. From what I have read, it seems that what differences that exist, are mainly euphonic distortions and frequency response abberations inherent in the physics of LP reproduction. In recordings like the Vegh/Beethoven quartets (I have heard the LPs), where the sound is mediocre to begin with, it is hard to get too excited about whatever difference might exist between the LP and CD. The CD version of the Yale Quartet recordings of the Beethoven quartets is much better than the LP version, although I suspect this is largely due to remastering (the frequency balance is much different). On the LP, I never noticed the little glitch in the climax of the slow movement of OP 132 where a bow inadvertantly brushes a wrong string. It is quite noticeable on the CD.
