Okay, okay, knock it off already. Vinyl LPs are mastered entirely differently from CDs, so the fact that they sound significantly different (better in some opinions including my own) should surprise nobody. You can also claim that the audible difference is due to all sorts of other things, sampling rate, digital vs. analog, etc, but really the different mastering is more than adequate to explain everything you hear. It's also more than enough to explain the different sound of SACD and DVD-A, since they were also (sometimes) mastered differently than CDs.

Dammit, now I've stepped in it too, now, haven't I?
