To be valid, the CD-R would have to be recorded from and played back on the same system as the vinyl. Comparing a commercial CD to a CD-R of vinyl recorded elsewhere wouldn't be much different from comparing the original vinyl, different mastering and so on.
I have a $350 TDK stand-alone CD-R recorder, and while I cannot volume match the playback of the turntable to the CD player to do a quick switching A-B, the CD-Rs sound just as good to me in serial playback.

since i have no burner I don;t have the ability to test.

BUT there are others in this thread who have recorded CD-Rs of their LPs and they CAN hear a difference. But there is still some petty ass shit that you have to do this or that to do it right. It looks to me just where the bullshit lies is in the backpeddlers.
In this tired debate I have been led to believe that the analog/vinyl naysayers are "full of shit", as I paraphrase my other inmate comrade.

  Go to Circuit City, Costco or some other retailer that offers no questions asked returns, buy a stand-alone recorder and do your own tests, then return it. Until you have actually listened for yourself, your contention that others are "full of shit" is, well, full of shit.

    well, my position has been called into question so many times and my position has been labeled bullshit for so many times that the reverse needs be done.
    But what you say is correct. I will get around to getting a burner of the stereo. Until then If someone says digital tumps I will call them on it. Surely they will tire and this can stop altogether. ... I need a burner anyway, though.
