It's a simple demonstration that shows people prefer the sound of one HiFi
component against another. It would also explain why some people prefer the
sound of Vinyl over CD - the overall tone may jest sound "nicer" to people
even if it isn't reproduced as accurately as it could be.

this is going to possibly sound a bit harsh toward this and i do not mean it
with any negative attitude, but when the copying occured from the source to
the cd, was there any post digital processing done?  what i mean is, was it
possibly modified in any way from the original?  It leaves out IMO one
important question, and that is what was the middle man between these two
sources?  anyway i'm just being curious, because if there was any processing
done, that would say a whole heck of a lot.  if not, well i'd be curious to
hear the comparison too :)
