[BC] CD vs LP

[Tom]

Almost - what it reduces is the sharp attack time; the amplitude falls 
off slower, especially with percussive (keyboards, drums, and other 
struck instruments... Yes, a piano is played by striking the strings... 
look inside one!) instruments.  Fast attack, slow release; so playing 
the master backwards gives you a SLOW attack, which solid state 
circuitry handles much better overall...
