CDR comparisons of turntables -- is Fremer using an appropriate approach?

I just got through catching up on Stereophile and read Fremer's article about the Kuzma XL table (which I own so my bias is now upfront). I can live with his review as his review just fine but I really don't like the idea that he uses CDR's that he's recorded from his table (Continuum) and the Kuzma and then plays these to people who then judge the quality of the tables. It seems to me that this introduces an additional interaction effect that Fremer doesn't seem to appreciate -- that is, there may be differential effects attributable to the interaction of the various TT's and the CDR recording process. Given that he talks about one table having apparent versus genuine detail I'm not really convinced that he's used a proper comparison approach.

Is there a view out there about this type of review comparison (using TT's recorded onto CDR and then judging the table's quality based on the CDR)? It seems that this is not a very good way to compare tables or judge a given table's efficacy.
