"How do you know that my tests are flawed?"
Because they rely on the "data" on the CD and LP being the same except for the medium and the digital and analog playback chains to sound the same. There are just too many variables.
You could cut out a bunch of them by using an A/D after your phono preamp to digitize your record then compare that back directly through the D/A and after being stored on a CDR.
Every step is fraught with difficulties but while fighting them you can glean some idea of the various sensitivities. I've enjoyed wonderful music from some CD's, from some records, from some tapes... That's the frustrating thing, if you can do it once, that means it's possible. Now how do you get it reliability? Luck seems to play a big role...
Best, Rick
