I will agree with you that the CD's are getting better. Dire Straits, Dire Straits is a good example of this through remastering. Probably better than the Vinyl and original CD overall, but the vinyls still has some sense of realism not captured digitally, but lacks the low end dynamics on this example, but overall the CD sounds better when weighing out the pro's and consPink Floyd Wish You were Here is an example of this on the song with the smoking and the cough at the beginning, but I think this is only due to the lack of surface noise so you can here the very quiet parts. But the rest of it the vinyl may or may not seem to be better.
You are correct in the difference on some titles is in the matering and recording quality in the first place. Most old Elton Johns sound better on CD especcialy the remasterd versions from MFSL and teh new factory remasters than Vinyl, But the SACD versions are the best. Ussually this is due to lack of low end probably due to compression and low end roll off to make it fit on the LP or during that time keep the needle from mistracking
Take some of the new Vinyl that spreads the recording across 2 LP's to keep intact the low freq response such as Donald Fagens Morph The Cat, Neil Youngs Prairie Wind, Or even some that dont such As Bob Dylans Modern Times, and it's hard to imagine the digital versions sounding better than these. The old timers are coming back to vinyl, so there must be something to it. Neil Young has embraced it after flirting with DVDA, Roger Daltry summed it up at some digital awards show, when he said that the old vinyl sounds better than this new crap, and so on.
Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood MAC sounds so much better on the MFSL Vinyl than the original CD.
It also sems most DVDA are pushing the low end freq and rolling off the top end freq, Where SACD's seem to be more balanced and not missing at the high end.
I beleive SACD was going in the right direction, too bad it was not promoted properly, and was too confusing to understand what it was in the beginning.
Just my 2 cents worth
