And I'm speaking from experience here as I record to DVD, using a DVD recorder in my main system and then rip said DVD using DVD Audio Extractor software before running said audio file through Sound Forge before outputting to CD.Anyway, what I suspect is what you are mostly getting is the tonal representation of the table/cart combo, not the rest of the system per se and that's probably what you were aiming at to begin with.
When I play back said recording on my PC, runnign the file through the integrated audo on the MB, out to a crappy rack integrated I have and a pair of 3 way mini speakers, I still get an essence of what my table as it is now with the Ort cart on it sounds like, same goes when I play said file, on CD in my main system and heck, even in my 92 Ford truck with it's stock, crappy sounding tape deck with a portable CD player, I can get it's essence, but just bairly though (it's sooo bad that stock cassette deck in my old 88 Accord trounced it soundwise by a long mile).
The point I'm making here is, given the AD/DA conversion, qualities of the various dacs and the resulting redbook CD specs which roll off any thing beyond 20K etc, we can still get a good sense of what the table sounds like.
Last night as I was listening to a home brew CD I'd made last weekend, I became aware of how clean and clear some of my tracks were that I has recorded from vinyl - and yes, I can tell the vinyl from digital tracks plain as day, for starters, every vinyl track will have some telltale signs, even if subtle that it's a vinyl track, a slight pop or click here or there, a little surface noise perhaps, that kind of thing. CDs can have what seems like an unnaturally silent noise floor and there is a tonal difference between digital tracks in general than the vinyl tracks, I think.
Anyway, I'm throwing this out there for thought.
Just my not so humble .02 worth. :-)
