I am so sorry. It is just my opinion. Do not allow different point of view here?
Opinions are fine (and welcome), but unsubstantiated claims are not needed here.
For instance, did you know there is a recent, *serious* listening test which compares LAME versions ?
Also you say you can hear a difference between LAME 3.90.x and CD. Good, but how did you test it ? Needless to mention, you didn't even say on what bitrates, settings, audio samples and equipment you noticed that. What kind of artifacts did you hear ? Did you do an ABX test ?
For your information, an ABX test would be one of the ways to back up the claim that you made.
