Absolutely, well put - so what I'm talking about is a
coincidental, and not causal, artefact. No idea what it
is, why it should be there or what makes it 'real'.

So you like distortion, OK if that's your preference so
be it. Just makes the music sound better.


To you maybe, to me the distortions generated by vinyl
recording makes the music sound worse.


Well, you'd say distortions, I'd say characteristics.

All distortions are characteristics, but not all characteristics are
distortions.

Seems like a failure to communicate.

It might be just the distortions/associated harmonics, don't
know.

Speaks to your ability to deny scientific facts.

All I do know is that, so far as I can tell, the
music quality doesn't necessarily improve when said
distortions are taken away.

The trick would be to take just the distortions away.

So: master tape explanations aside, I don't know why LPs
sound better in some circumstances.

If a LP sounds better than the CD then the people who made the CD screwed
up. Pure and simple.
