Or another name: "It sounds more like typical acoustic
music to ______ (insert name)."


Mostly said by people who actually have no idea at all
what the original acoustic performance sounded like
because they weren't there.


As I wrote, "typical acoustic music".


Oh, so Jenn you think that all acoustic music sounds the same?


There are ways that acoustic music NEVER sounds,


Exactly, acoustic music never has rumble, tics, pops, inner groove
distortion, rolled off highs and lows, etc. Yet I have yet to hear an LP
that fails to have one or more of those failings. I've visited the homes of
audiophiles with tens of thousands in audio gear, but yet when they play
vinyl, one or more of those failings is audible. I've been to what are
alleged to be some of the best high end audio shows around, and even in
carefully-setup listening rooms, the vinyl always has one or more of those
problems.

and there are plenty of recordings that sound that way.


Right, and among the "recordings that sound that way", I can count on vinyl
to stick its hand right up and say "I've got clearly audible flaws".

We've been through this before.


Right Jenn, and the only logical conclusion is that there's something going
on with you that keeps you from hearing the well-known audible flaws of
vinyl.
