to imply that compressed digital media can transport the nuance of good audio equipment. That's especially true considering LPs are still the gold standard, and that everything else is just a convenient downgrade.

  Totally agree. Digitalization make everything sound the same!

  Take a digital recording and release a CD version and also master it to vinyl. A lot of people will prefer the vinyl version not because of some musical quintessence that the CD cannot convey but because of the things the vinyl cutting & playback chain adds to the sound. Then make a needledrop of that LP and it will sound surprisingly close, if not identical, to the LP playback because digital is accurate enough to capture all those vinyl additions.

  It is not my intention to start an argument on this but just felt I had to comment on your statement.
  
  I was not aware that Fremer said that he 'compressed' the digital file. I'm quite certain he did not do this. And I have always understood that the original master tape was the gold standard, not the LP. It has also been demonstrated that a properly mastered digital transfer, one with no compression, of that master tape is closer to the sound of that tape than an LP.

    I disagree with nearly everything you've said here, but that's a different discussion for a different day. Let's just say I'm a strong proponent of analog sources and vacuum tube amplification. Master tapes for most of the music I enjoy have long since deteriorated such that the LPs from back in the day are the truest copies available of the original sound.
