But the spectral graph's I used (ie foobar2000) show the obvious that the vinyl is the superior in dynamic range.
My version from the normal CD release is 32.7MB so there's absolutely no difference in them at all. On all the files I checked they are exactly the same in size to 8 significant figures, which must mean they're the same thing. I wonder why I'm not getting the same discrepancy as you?

I'll wait until I can play my own copy on a really good system (since that's what it's made for) but I wasn't expecting the ones from the audiophile CD to look exactly the same in wave form. I was expecting it to be quieter as well, I guess.
