The sound difference you speak of is most likely either a close to worn stamper on side 1 or a stamper that is a couple of generations farther away than side 2's plate for one of many possible reasons..It is highly unlikely each side would be cut by a different master house but more than likely side 1 was farther along in life than side when pressing..Although I have noticed this difference in some used lps i have purchased its fairly easy to tell now by looking at the end of the matrix codes, whether its 1 or 8 or 3, 1 usually always sounds the best, typically I will get records where side one may be a 3, and side 2 a 1 and side 2 always sounds better whether subtle or night and day..Also I am not surprised by what you find with CD's in the mids, I have been enjoying many cd's lately and have to say, with even my modest Rotel cdp a well done CD tends to out perform its vinyl counterpart in more ways than one dynamics wise, transparency etc.. But as I have learned, its all music dependent, like Kevin Gray says and I agree with, is that vinyl was not engineered with todays music in mind..Although I would easily
give up spinning records if it werent for the many I have that completely out perform cd and laugh at its very existence..
