Then why make contentious statements if you don't want others to disagree

Or perhaps you don't think saying things like 'in denial' contentious?


Try this:

You never miss a chance to emphasise how bad you think vinyl is. And seem to
want the world to join you.

Does that work for you?

No - I emphasise the fact that it can't compare to CD in like for like
terms. Ie, the very finest vinyl will not be as good as the very finest CD.
That some CDs are poorly made in whatever way is neither here nor there.
As, of course, were many vinyl records.

And seem to want the world to join you.

I personally couldn't care less and simply respond to the extravagant
claims made on here for vinyl - including by some who should know
better. ;-)

Absolute rubbish.

Agreed.

And I only respond when I see 'denial' of the following:

That many believe LP can sound a lot better than CD.

That many people play and enjoy LPs.

That LPs and 45s are still being manufactured.

That there are continuing/increasing 'high volume' sales of turntables and
other associated products - carts &c....

(See even the Oz newspaper article....)

That no vinylist I know has any strong view about others not liking it.

....by some who should know better... ;-)

Now, if these Denial Boyz just said 'I think vinyl sounds ****e' I'd say
'fine' and move on.

If the Denial Boyz said nothing at all, I would probably do the same...

Absolutely nothing I've ever read on here 'denies' this.

Likewise.

Likewise.

Depends on what you mean by 'high'. Most would consider high to be at
least approaching the sales of equipment to play CDs etc, and this just
isn't the case.

That no vinylist I know has any strong view about others not liking it.

Apart from yourself?

You might - but in your next post will be raving on about it.

I see you've still not taken on board the true meaning of 'in denial'. I'm
surprised, given you've said you have experience of alcoholism.

Alcoholism???

WTF are you on about - I'm 99.99% teetotal...?? (4, 5 or maybe 6 cold beers
all this *year*...??)

You've gone all slashy and slanderous Plowie, or you're mixing me up with
someone else here..???

But, whatever, you've demonstrated *yet again* that you can only go a few
weeks before posting twisted, maggotty crap like all of the above. Yet
another wasted opportunity to brighten up your sad, little life. I've cut
you a lot more slack than I would normally bother to do with someone like
you, but I'm done with you now....

Welcome to my ****ter....

OK. But then I suggest you find out what the term 'in denial' means, since
it's commonly used in association with addiction of all kinds.

What a peculiar set of statements! You should be aware that many find
vinyl is at least as good as CD in like for like terms: fact.

Extravagant claims?! What did you have in mind?

A LP can't possibly duplicate the dynamic range and frequency response
flattness in the audio range of a CD.

Of course.

As, of course, were many vinyl records.

One of the problems that the CD format solved were the high rate of returns
of defective LPs, in the day of.

Actually, pretty factual.

Perhaps background noise doesn't bother you. Distortion - increasing as
you reach the centre of the disc. Wear and tear. Even more clicks and pops
as they get older.

Yes, truly vinyl is as good as CD.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. but it is hardly
definitive. Nor is it shared by many very experienced listeners.

Now that just sounds like you don't really care about sound quality
when it comes to listening to music. The fact that many musically
significant titles have never been released on a decent sounding CD
matters greatly.

Indeed, you and your likeminded pals seem to be making many such claims
just so you have something to argue against.
