Absolutely, well put - so what I'm talking about is a coincidental, and
not causal, artefact. No idea what it is, why it should be there or what
makes it 'real'.

So you like distortion, OK if that's your preference so be it.

Just makes the music sound better.


To you maybe, to me the distortions generated by vinyl recording makes
the
music sound worse.


Well, you'd say distortions, I'd say characteristics. It might be just the
distortions/associated harmonics, don't know. All I do know is that, so
far as I can tell, the music quality doesn't necessarily improve when said
distortions are taken away.

So: master tape explanations aside, I don't know why LPs sound better in
some circumstances.

When I first heard CD I was struck by just how much better it sounded than
anything I had ever heard from LPs.



And many didn't - he needs to get over it...

Actually very few didn't, which is why LPs which used to totally own the
market for recordings, became a tiny niche product.

Hmmm, Alvis cars are/were a tiny niche product also:

Wouldn't stand a chance against a Toyota today - would they?

The Alvis cars are said to have dropped from new production in 1967. Those
were the glory days of vinyl. Are they somehow connected in your mind,
Kitty?

I understand that the name Alvis lives on in the form of an armored fighting
vehicle. Seems like just the thing you need Kitty, to sheild yourself from
the assaults of science and modern life.

Yes.

Others take note the *childish name-calling* has taken a firm hold now -
'hypocrite' isn't really quite strong enough a word, is it?
