    They both sound very good. I think the vinyl sounded fuller. But over UA-cam I'd take that with a vault of salt.

    Vinyl sounds less compressed and fuller but the cd was a bit more top end rich.

    Sounds more vibrant on vinyl, surprisingly. More treble and airy. I'd like to know if they were volume level matched.

      I think the difference which in this system has positive impact on sound and may come from pickup not from LP. quality. Anyway it is for me advantage of turntable that it gives opportunity to make slight alignment by choosing best for owned system pickup. .In fact I would expect opposite - that digital would be better articulated but onlu in sopranos. I have four pickups different shapes to my Bang Olufsen turntable each with different specific it makes just about such differences - the best is full contact and sounds most smooth with best perspective .

    CD as so often just has no fundamental body, the turntable brings it to another level, but isn‘t my choice either, by what the speakers show. Both are equally out of my choices, clearly. It‘s likely the speakers that doesn‘t really transport the differences enough. I don‘t like the amp either, but I know that this isn‘t the amp‘s fault, that‘s proven to give enough magic to any input and sends it over to the speakers.

    Hört sich so an, als ob die (nicht 'datenreduzierte') Schallplatte mehr und realistischeten Bass erzeugt. Interessant wäre auch über einen High-End-DVD Spieler (z.B. Marantz DV12 S1) einen gekauften Titel auf eine CD-R in z.B. '.wav 24 Bit/96KHz' dagegen zu hören

    Good speakers and amplification is everything. Even UA-cam can sound spectacular with the right DAC. Vinyl sounds better some of the time because of the equalization, but that's before wear and tear creates surface noise. The CD will sound the same every time and won't easily wear out unless you have childish vandals handling them. If all you do is listen to 2 channel audio a sonic equalizer is a good investment.

    Is the Vinyl the new 45 RPM from Analogue Productions Mastered from the original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman? Is your CD SACD? The Analogue Productions 45 RPM Aaron Neville is sublime in vocals, instruments and soundstage. I voice like Aaron's deserves the warmth of tubes and vinyl.

      @@scottadams7523 We are talking about LPs 45/m - streaming is not comparable. . I think we know not enough about real interactions and impact l on our senses and we pull conclusions very fast by simplified intuition based on technical observations of instruments. not senses
      That is why is a lot of contrary opinions without clearly justified result .
      If somebody could technicaly define what is the "little effect" and judge it in justified scale then we can at least start dispute if anything has it or no. You must be not technical engineer if you are using such not precise termin .
      In my opinion all THD which are created in significant for hearning range above 5kHz and are created in LP reproduction are for sure are hardest to controll They are groupped and condensed by multiplying by 3 in range 15kHz - 60 kHz together with harmonics of eventual noise and cracks . As suggested by many those THD will mix and affect back the lower well perceived range.
      If it is cut at max 15 kHz all that THD would not be recorded to LP and have enough volume which could add/deduct to sounds in hearing band

    Another senseless "Apple with Pear" comparison!! Of course there is a difference, always!!!! It starts with different mixing and mastering although the same source material would be used! Every step after that is different, different materials, different equipment and so on!! Who can judge that the quality of a digital equipment is the same as the analog counterpart??? Plse stop those BS comparisons! Sheer clickbait!!

      I do not think in theory you are right in practice you should not make such notices - too many instant charges without specification do not provide any real input .
      I have very fine aligned system which unveils "everything" .I also made such comparisons just by curiosity. Anyway outcome from my experiments is that both are extremly simmilar - much more than I could observe here. May be because I use different material - original records issued 50 years ago and their CD versions reedited later. This way it is not parallel production of two mediums which may be eventualy mastered separately but one is reproduced copy of another.
