Another nice surprise is that some 16/44.1 files I've recorded from a one-sided 45rpm LPs sound so much better than the CD rips of the same albums. The digitized vinyl files have 'life' - the CD rips sounds 'cold' and 'dead' in comparison. I know that Romy has written extensively about the issue with CD rips, but it amazes me that there can be such a difference, even with a modest vinyl setup such as mine.

 This is very-very common. You do not need spend a lot of efforts to get better sound than commercial transfers. The commercial transfers are mostly over mastered as have a lot of DSP manipulation, not to mention the rates and resolution conversions. Do not also forget that with commercial transfers you are listening CD, not the raw files. Try to render your raw file to CD format and you will lose 60% of Sound…
