No, I would just suggest you say "I like the sound of vinyl". That way
brooks no argument, and doesn't result in nonsensical terms like
"superior" being bandied around.


See below....


Nor need it be true that "Nobody know" if you are talking about "can"
since
in specific cases the reasons may be known.


Indeed - I don't know that 'nobody knows', I just think they can't prove
it. The specific case being - an LP and CD from the same master. The LP
sounds better to some people. Why?

Because it sounds different - it has no choice, that is what LPs do.
If it sounds different then of course some people will prefer it. That
is the nature of people.



People who prefer vinyl (to digital) are hardly likely to do so if they
think it sounds *inferior* - the main cause of CD vs. LP here is that a
small few here want to dictate how vinyilists express themselves and their
preferences. Other than for the specific purposes of *argument* here, I
don't think any vinylist could really be arsed to express a strong view on
CD or its use - many (if not most) have CDs also and will play them from
time to time!

(No, really...!! :-)



And exactly the same applies the other way for we who prefer CD. In
fact I was listening to some vinyl myself earlier - an absolutely
appalling record by some friends of mine from the sixties, a group
called Justine. I'm 100% certain it never made the journey to CD.

***BLOG ALERT***

Higher priorites these days - got Swim's new veggie plot finished this
morning. Here it is half planted (seeded?):

There is a *waiting list* for allotments here apparently and the mention of
the liberal use of 'Round Up' by the allomenteer we were chatting to didn't
inspire too much confidence - we're totally 'organic' here!! (Woss the point
of growing yer own veggies if you're going to *poison* them..??)

Audio content here? - **** all, it's Sunday - there'll be a disc or two
spinning later on this evening, I don't doubt..!! ;-)

(Actually, leetle bit - now to haul out my RPM9 and put the Aiwa back in -
can't be arsed with all the *tonearm lowering and retrieval*..!! :-)

So what did you plant? You hid all the packet piccies with rocks.

I may even connect my deck up to a PC - treat you to a little Justine
maybe. You can decide if you like the sound as well as the look of the
girlies.

G'wan then - I certainly don't know them...???

Tell me about it! I like a drink, me. But my cartridge is a Sumiko BPS EVO III
and it is VERY fragile. I've already killed two; this one's my third. So if I
wanna play some vinyl when I've got one of my girls back, I'm cakking myself that
I'll **** up and total it. And at 225 quid a time, and I'm not rich....

I've actually had many nightmares about destroying this one.

It's ok so far. But yeah, it is an issue that needs to be watched and borne in
mind.

Indeed it do - a fully auto or even just an auto return deck takes that
hassle out of it and I'll gladly sacrifice 'high end' pretensions for the
luxury of letting a nice bit of music fade away for a few long, lazy minutes
before I got to go and lift the needle!!

(I draw the line at autochangers for LPs though!! :-)
