I'm glad about that, because what I came here for was opinions rather than
rigorous logical arguments.

Interesting that Danielle said this while posting one of the most easily
falsified hypothesis I've ever seen on an audio group!

Namely:

"Consumers value convenience above sound quality, to the extent that only
if a new format offers significantly greater
convenience can it succeed an older one"

This hypothesis was disproven by the fact that the Stereo LP nearly totally
displaced the Mono LP. The stereo LP offered nothing but improved sound
quality and inconvenience as compared to the Mono LP.

Therefore the Stereo LP shows that consumers will prefer a format that has
no advantages other than improved sound quality, even if it has a host of
other inconveniences.
