Re: No mention of the pause!!!

Thank you for your good-natured comeback. I meant my earlier pause comments as tongue in cheek; I hope that they came across that way.

You write:
"I don't ever recall any vinyl recordings, (including my direct-to-disc), that match with respect to dynamics, what has been demonstrated with some of the ladder day SACD recordings, with all due respect given your well stated comments."

I think that with dynamics, CD and SACD can be lumped together. (I found SACD's forte to be more dimensional sound and more honest textures and timbres.) I find that with digital, the louder the sound, the small the room gets; and with vinyl, the louder the sound, the larger the room, or soundstage gets. It could be distortion trickery, but I don't care. I have to say though: the final gong and bass drum thwack at the last word of the final chorus is the loudest thing I've ever heard.

My subjective response to your observations about digital being more, er...dynamic than Lp is this, and it surprised even me: I don't find digital preferable or more innately exciting than Lp because of the former's increased dynamic range. Why? I don't know except to say that Lp uniquely manages to communicate the hall's response to a loud passage which adds to the excitement.
