As it happens, I doubt you have ever head me claim that I
believe that vinyl has anywhere near the SN of CD,
anywhere the low level of distortion or anywhere near the
convienence.

Good.

But what seems to be interesting, is that given I know
all the above, I (and it seems many others) still
generally get greater pleasure from listening to vinyl
than I do CD.

I don't have any problems with that. I was just watching a TV program called
"Car Crazy". The particular show talked about a guy who restored a 1964
Corvair which happened to be the first car he ever drove regularly, and
found that driving it around gave him greater pleasure than driving any
other car. Pretty much the same thing.

I would have thought that would have been a interesting
thing to investigate, but you seem to prefer to disregard
the fact that there are people that prefer vinyl, and
just insult them with a religious ferver as far as I can
see.

I think that if you review the facts, you will find that by the time I
started posting to the "Vinyl To CD on a PC" thread that things were not the
same as you have started out here.

Oh, and by the way, last time I looked many of the
training files on your ABX site were missing or broken.

Got any particulars?

And I have doubts about the validity of some of them, For
instance I would have expecetd 1% 2nd harmonic distortion
to be harder to spot, I seem to get a 100% result given
the files that are there at the moment.

Blind or sighted?
