but I'll give you an
example, anyway - just to show where I'm coming from with this line of
thinking.
I have two copies of the Mercury Living Presence recording of Stravinsky's
"Firebird" ballet with Antal Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony. One is the
CD mastered by the recording's original producers Wilma Cozert Fine, and
Robert Eberenz. It sounds OK. Then, several years ago, I purchased the
Classic Records re-mastering of the same work on vinyl.

Right, so on the basis of two totally different masterings (i.e. the
actual spectral composition was changed between formats, not 'just' the
requisite RIAA curve application) of the performance, you think you can
make a valid comparison of formats? Sorry, not possible - whatever
format comparison you choose (MP3-Vinyl-CD-SACD-etc.).
