Audiophiles are also the people most likely to suggest you break-in your new million dollar speaker cables in your specially powered cd player.
With half a grand's worth of wooden volume knob (the original host for that hot little item appears to have disappeared - I'm astounded that a vendor of the 500 dollar knob is no longer in business).
To be fair, there are people out there with finely tuned hearing who also happen to be well versed in the area of aural science. There just aren't that many*.
And of those that are out there, they probably don't want to speak up for fear of being tarred with the same brush as the complete dingbats who insist, for example, that LPs "sound better" than CDs.
I appreciate that you might like the feel of an LP. I too, like the big cover and ample liner notes.
You get a feeling of quiet nostalgia using them too.
But seriously, saying things like
doesn't do anyone any favours."Records just sound better. They have that warmth to them - that analog-warm sound. A record reproduces music, a CD transforms it into zeros and ones,"
Nobody is watching VHS in favour of DVD because of its "warm, vibrant colour" - if you want to buy a record, buy a record.
But don't go making shit up to justify your nostalgia.
*I am not one of these people. My hearing sensitivity and knowledge of the science involved is passable at best.
But I know crap science when I see it.
