yeah, definitely lose the upper registers. I remember when audio CDs first hit the market. I got together with a friend. I had one of the first Sony CD players and he had a high end turntable. We both happened to have the same album, mine on CD and his a limited run vinyl pressing. I took my little CD player over to his house and we spent two hours with the CD and album cued up and switching back and forth. We could hear the differences predominantly in the upper registers. The CD picked up the overtones of high pitched instruments like a piccolo better than the vinyl did. I am sure that I wouldn't be able to here those differences now.
