The most recent A/B I did was with the Columbia Legacy Series Box sets of Miles Davis (Davis and Coltrane, etc.) and the Mosaic LP boxes. I've also done it with digitally remastered Decca recordings of Benjamin Britten's music with the original LP's.If the original mastering is digital, LP's made from those masters sound a lot like the CD's. But when the mastering is analogue, that's where the differences seem most pronounced. Which is measurably (I assume that's what you mean) better is of some interest, but what seems more interesting is when you play both for an audio innocent and let her tell you which she prefers. Or my brother in law who loves music and is indifferent about audio. Both pick the LP every time.
I still own lots of CD's, play them, and enjoy them. But I have a superb, tube-based digital front end and I don't go from one medium directly to the other. You can adapt to good digital if your mind is on the music. But an awful lots of cdp's...well inhale hard, shall we say.
