Similarly, any expectation bias that I might have toward
LP because I'm a "dupe" or "have been powerfully
influenced by some male authority figure" turns out to be
nothing because my expectation is that CD is superior in
every way.

A claim that is easily denied by looking at any number of Jenn's posts.

Incorrect. I've stated several times that I WANT CD to be superior in
every way, and that's the truth. They are more convenient, more readily
available, and there is more music (my main interest) available in
print. I listen to CDs a great deal more than I listen to LPs and I own
many more CDs than I do LPs. Further, I think that the average CD
sounds better in just about every way to the average LP. I would have
to be an idiot to not CDs to sound better. And, I'm a believer in
science and I understand that the science as we presently understand it
tells us that CDs should sound better than all LPs.

Ah, well, not really. It tells us that CD will always sound closer to
the mixdown master tape than will vinyl, but if that's a bad master,
then the CD won't sound very good!

That's it in a nutshell, The potential for CD is enormous. But this
potential is often not reached due to a less than good final product.
Sad too is the fact that most people are perfectly happy with
what they buy, and don't really care.

Two words: sonically transparent.

Actually, the potential of the CD format is *never* reached in the final
product.

most people are perfectly happy with what they buy, and don't really care.

As a rule, not even live performances are up to the potential for the CD
format. As a rule, recordings of live performances are audibly trashed by
the time they reach the mic cables, and generally things go downhill after
that.
