Perhaps not, John - but it certainly seems to be knocking spots of the recordings on most of my CDs! And what about if the original master was analogue, like in my experience the finest sounding recordings often are, such as the 1950s jazz ones, on the likes of Columbia or Capitol?

Snapper's vinyl rips are unquestionaly sonically superior, so far, to the rips I've made from my CDs - and by a notable margin... Not bad for an old fruitbox, I guess
