Was doing a delivery to a Japanese store and they had some anime theme songs over the speakers. Almost couldn't pay attention so I waited to get home to jam to these songs.

Those cannons are untrackable. IN mastering The cutterhead went laterally right against it's stops. I looked at it under a microscope back at Bell Labs in the early 80's
Even a healthy Shure N95HE tracking at 1.5 g jumps over the initial transient and then falls back in the groove; You can see the skidmarks in the micrograph where it jumped the 'curb'.

The CD has no dynamic range compared to the LP. None.
CD has only about 80 DB dynamic range then you have signal loss into digital garbage on the bottom and hard limiting at the top.
Most ALL players don't meet Philips original spec then there is jitter. A Very flawed, and too early implementation or digital playback.

AT least on analogue you can hear many db below and into the noise floor and the original waveform is not gone. The modern 24 bit 48 is adequate especially with dithering. CD playback is flawed,
Solid state media or DAT is adequate.
