However it is a fact, for different reasons, that _people
like vinyl_. It's a human friendly storage system for
analog signal content.

I lived with vinyl for over 35 years. I found it to be anything but
human-friendly. There was the LP collection that was destroyed by mold and
humidity in Miami. There was the one that was destroyed by dust storms in El
Paso.

People enjoy the vinyl
experience, just as some enjoy building speakers and
amplifiers themselves when perfectly good ones may be
bought.

Basically sentimentality.

Some people build cars and motorcycles and
airplanes too, although all those things are purchasable
cheaper off the rack.

But unless they are some great shakes as engineers and constructors, they
spare us claims that they are better than modern technology. Road courses
and stop watches settle that.

Refusal to acknowledge that fact is just as obtuse as the
writer's inaccurate defense of vinyl superiority, if not
even more so.

Not at all. The so called facts are representative of only a tiny fraction
of all music lovers, as little as 0.3% using the statistics that the writer
provided. The technical errors related to 100% of every LP record and CD
ever made.

Because that reporter probably put fifteen
minutes into that piece whereas thinking and writing
about these things is all you do, Arny.

Delusions of omniscience noted. You have no idea how much time I put into
these posts. In fact it is only a few minutes or less per post.
