All pressings / recordings are not created equal. Even CD's vary from release to release. Engineers juice the recording each time based on expected audience and their own mastering equipment.
Width of Stage
I now have a very good CDP to go with my high end TT.
Dave Brubeck Time Out, LP approx. 50yrs old, CD about 25yrs old and a Japan SACD new.
Comparing all three I hear symbols on the LP and SACD that I do not on the CD.
The big difference (warmth of LP aside) is the width of the stage, is quit a bit wider when playing the LP! Is this normal?
Thank you for your input.
