Default To reverb or not?

David no sane person could contest your arguments about the superiority
of CD over LP in many respects but the truth for some of us is nothing
beats putting on a record. It's almost a certainty that virtually every
'vinylist' has a collection of CDs as well: there are hundreds here in
various places about the house....


I don't dispute that. Most of us, I guess, have collections of both. I was
merely curious as to why Bob calls those of us who don't find that
"nothing beats putting on a record" "puritans". A bit like a classic car
enthusiast calling someone who prefers the reliabilty and convenience of a
modern car a "purist".



I think he is referring to a preference for the 'pure' sound claimed by CD
advocates - ie free of the inherent colouration and and artefacts of LPs.
