Saying that you are interested in "high fidelity", and then saying that you
prefer to listen to music with added unecessary audible noise and distortion
is hypocritical and self-contradictory.

Except that this is rec.*audio* not rec.*high-fidelity*

As I've said, some LPs are more pleasing to listen to than the CD
counterparts that I also have. Some, not all.

But LP, CD, tape, tubes, tuner (probably the lowest fidelity of all,
and never mentioned from what I've seen), etc. are all audio.

Some of us listen for the music. Some of the most enjoyable music that
I've listened to was through a boom box at a beach. A few beers, some
sun, a good Doors tune comes on... And even that boom box was 'audio.'

Therein lies the problem here apparently. Audio to some here has to
mean the 'highest fidelity' or it isn't valid. To others it means the
'most satisfying' to them, regardless of whether or not it represents
the zenith of accuracy.
