No help to those who actively seek colouration though.
Same as valve amps. The two ( liking valves and LPs)
seem to go hand-in-hand which strongly suggests to me
that those people like a strongly coloured sound.

I think that sentimentality, a desire to be different for the sake of being
different, and gettting attention is behind most of the adamant LP
preference we see expressed around here.

One thing for sure ... I used to do a lot of headphone listening. Still do in
fact.

Headphones reveal the failings of LPs very cruelly. Listening on speakers seems
to be less unkind to them.
