No it doesn't - don't you ever read anything here? You can transcribe
an
LP to CD and I defy anyone to tell the difference. The LP is *adding*
components to the original master that don't exist in reality.


So what?

I play both formats but prefer vinyl. I am expressing my like of vinyl on
an audio newsgroup. Whats wrong with that?

Perhaps cd needs something adding to it? It is a very accurate format but
it doesn't convey the 'life and soul' of the music well at all. I think
vinyl does convey that soul very well. If that is done by 'adding' stuff
then thats fine by me. I don't care about the numbers of the format -
only the sound that enters my head.


I agree.

Even then. By the time it's travelled through those fleshy funnel things on
the side of our heads, tickled an ear drum, been converted into a signal to
be passed to our brains and finally processed by our minds, all of which are
probably unique to each individual, I very much doubt that any two people
'hear' the same thing anyway. Which is why I claimed that there are no
absolutes in a previous posting. Yes. I know that all the things people
commented on are *absolutes* but they are absolutes in an equation, I
suspect, full of variables which would mean that the end result is as
variable as the No of people listening. (Sits back and waits for criticism
and ridicule)
Call me strange, I've always thought that the medium and boxes used to bring
the sound to my ears are a means to an end. Not that I deny anybody the
right to play tents at night fantasising over tech' spec's.

I'll just try to enjoy my music as best as I can if that's alright with
everybody.
