No, I would just suggest you say "I like the sound of vinyl". That way
brooks no argument, and doesn't result in nonsensical terms like
"superior" being bandied around.


See below....


Nor need it be true that "Nobody know" if you are talking about "can"
since
in specific cases the reasons may be known.


Indeed - I don't know that 'nobody knows', I just think they can't prove
it. The specific case being - an LP and CD from the same master. The LP
sounds better to some people. Why?

Because it sounds different - it has no choice, that is what LPs do.
If it sounds different then of course some people will prefer it. That
is the nature of people.



People who prefer vinyl (to digital) are hardly likely to do so if they
think it sounds *inferior* - the main cause of CD vs. LP here is that a
small few here want to dictate how vinyilists express themselves and their
preferences. Other than for the specific purposes of *argument* here, I
don't think any vinylist could really be arsed to express a strong view on
CD or its use - many (if not most) have CDs also and will play them from
time to time!

(No, really...!! :-)



And exactly the same applies the other way for we who prefer CD. In
fact I was listening to some vinyl myself earlier - an absolutely
appalling record by some friends of mine from the sixties, a group
called Justine. I'm 100% certain it never made the journey to CD.
