In the case of my son, his kit (Technics/B&W) masks any differences
between CD and LP

Interesting comment. In my experience the difference between CD and LP is
obvious even on the most lowly of kit.


My suspicion is that many/most people who don't 'get it' with vinyl is
because they've never heard it on anything like a halfway decent setup....

Another interesting comment, as it appears to directly contradict your
earlier one :-)

It is certainly the case that the difference between a cheap and an
expensive record player is far more significant than that between a cheap
and an expensive CD player. But even the very best record player cannot
sound better than the master tape, and since a competently mastered CD
sounds essentially identical to the master tape.....

Modern recordings don't even have master tapes of course.
