I think an interesting and informative test would be to record Vinyl to digital and see if anyone can tell the difference. The claim is that digital can’t sound as good a vinyl. If you can get vinyl-equivalent sound in digital, there is no need for vinyl. Plus, this removes any issue of finding matching mastering.
I’ve done this many times, and to me there’s no difference at all.
I have done loop-back testing (ADC-DAC) with people live. No one can tell the difference any more. You will hear reports that people can hear the difference, then you find out they are using some esoteric "audiophile" DAC, not one designed for playback accuracy.
