Since there is and probably always will be a division on the
subject of LP playback vs. CD playback, let's see if we can
describe how we each hear a given recording that we have in common.
I listen to *music*, not a format.
I want to have both formats to sound as good as they can, however.
I was thinking of the people who seem to think that LP is the
superior format. Trying to figure out what they get from that that
the believe is missing from CD.
I think Jim Johnston gave us a possible answer years ago:
Some people actually like the "euphonic distortion" that occurs with
LP playback, and, in a different way, in most tube amps.
One of Jim's failings was that he gave way too much quarter to idiots. In
the end it got him, he let himself be bought.
On Usenet, vinylphilia and tubophilia are just a ways that some poor lost
people have of expressing their desire to be special.
In real life, they are probably mostly about sentimentality but again the
"I'm special because I have tubes and/or vinyl" theme is there.
Everybody has something about them that makes them special.
In your case, its having ****-for-brains.
