Usually, and likely in this case.

CAVs of the same transfer are rarely "worse",
but it does happen. I've seen the CC CLV Singin, and
can't comment on that.

I can say that 3M CLVs are generally worth avoiding.
My impression is that 3M didn't do CAA, only pure CLV,
and the 3M CLVs that I have have more cross-talk.
3M CAVs, on the other hand, tend to be excellent.

My recollection is that they did.

The CAV of Singing is a 3M casting, by the way.
(3M didn't "press" LDs.)
