Default LP vs CD - Again. Another Perspective

Most likely it means that the CD has no resonant hump right around
those frequencies, as records and LP playing equipment are well known
to have. And the person mastering hasn't put that hump in there but
recorded flat from the masters.

I have noticed the same thing with my own vinyl records in comparison
with a CD of the same record.

You are right, it is not subtle and I have heard it myself and in my
opinion it is there. But it's not an indication that the vinyl is
"better" than the CD version. No one is disputing here, that I have
seen, that vinyl sounds different then CD. These are, as far as I
know, merely facts, and well known ones. It's when you claim that
therefore the vinyl is objectively better that you leave, in my
opinion, the land of reason, at least on that matter.
