I can duplicate a vinyl LP to CD.
No-one can hear the difference. Rotel RA-810 amp and serious big speaker cabinets (main driver is 8″ and decent moving coil tweeter, not inferior ceramic discs).
Creative Labs SB0270 external USB adaptor on Tape2 I/O of the Rotel RA-810 amp.
But a master recording to CD will be lower noise and lower distortion and have no rumble. Also if the LP is played about x10 times on an average record player the CD will also have better HF / Treble response.
So yes a decent CD and vinyl LP will sound different, but you can make the CD sound like the vinyl LP using DSP. You can't make a vinyl LP on even a good record player sound like the decent CD, the information isn't there and it's too corrupted.
Thus vinyl LP is inferior.
Even a 256 kbps MP3 rip of Abba Gold CD is better than the vinyl LP of Abba Gold.
I've a few vinyl LPs only played much on a Lenco deck or now a Dual 505-2 (new belts and new stylus). Yes there are better players or amps or speakers, but not many people have them.
My mum pinched a lot of mine and my dad's vinyl 45s and LPs in 1970s and got my grandparents' collection in early 1990s. But she only played a couple of the LPs for a short while and then they lived in her garage till last summer. I may digitise them as playing wears them out.
