I remember when Pink Floyd from Cd would give me a headache in 5 minutes, where as Pink Floyd from Lp ws like a masterful mix job of excellence. "Punchy & Basey" yet also tinny; highs that were meant to be subtle or normal became stood out & harsh.
Same goes for Led Zeppelin I played at high volume: LP all the way.

I can turn the Trebles & Loudness up all the way on an Lp for highs to stand out, yet without harshness. So i'm fairly convinced the Cd has done something wrong to the waveforms & their cross products.

Got a whole series of Robin Trower LPs, recently played thru while working some basement activities; all played through with a warm guitar sustain, that I think is doubtful for CD to replicate.

Spherical needle turntable to Tube Preamp into mosfet power amp, into Frasier stacks (6 10" drivers) & 15" full range drivers.
