Default Vinyl Preference Explained!

Not that I'm *really* a vinyl enthusiast, but doesn't it cover all
human audiable frequencies (and some others besides) or am I missing
the point?


Vinyl can't cover the full audible frequency range with full dynamic range.
Therefore its not uncommon for vinyl recordings to be rolled off audibly, at
the audible frequency extremes.

The psychological point remains likely, I'm sure people do warm to a
particular sound, like familiar voices.


Thanks for seeing this. Vinyl reproduction is likely to be audibly colored,
and colored in ways that are somewhat consistent and ways that digital
playback is unlikely to duplicate. Digital playback is likely to be
relatively uncolored. So people who can't adjust to digital playback are
likely to have a distaste for all digital playback.
