Consider that with many recordings released today, the LP has a wider dynamic range than the CD. Knowing the provenance of any commercial recording is tricky business.

Streaming platforms usually provide fairly detailed information regarding the recording label, the year of release, the year of remastering when applicable... this can help matching vs. the equivalent CD or SACD and possibly allow for comparaisons

CD Sales are up again …
I also still buy CD’s, but not nearly as often as I used to. The CD’s I buy now never see a CD player because I immediately copy them onto my MacMini and play the stored files. In fact, I haven’t owned a CD player for years now because I’ve been using my Apple products to play them. When I’m not listening to my stored music files or vinyl, I’m streaming using Qobuz.
