I would say salespeople rarely do a double blind test, PERIOD.


yep. all they want is another sale.

The other factor in LPs favor was price


The complaints most voiced were sound, not price.


it biases the decision process. someone might be considering a cd
player but then when they realize cds are more expensive, choose a
turntable. the salesperson wants to make the sale so they'll do
whatever they can to sell *something*.

'warmth' is distortion, which can be added if that's what a person
wants.


'Warmth' is distortion which can also be added with a tube amp, IF
THAT'S WHAT A PERSON WANTS.


nope. tube amps add distortion whether or not the person wants it.

some people might want it, which is why they buy tube amps. others
prefer more accurate sound. the distortion a tube amp adds can be added
to solid state amps but it can't be removed from a tube amp.

what can't be done is removing distortion that's already there.


My local big box and book stores are selling LP vinyl records. Some
permanently distorted people still out there...


they aren't selling very many and certainly not because of their audio
quality.

cds can be limited to mimic vinyl.


Why would anyone want to make a CD mimic vinyl?


because some people think vinyl sounds better.

you can always downgrade sound quality, but you can't add back what
isn't there.

if someone is buying a turntable or tube amp as a piece of furniture,
then sound quality is not their priority.


Not necessarily. Lots of people like nice furniture surrounding their
solid state CD stereos too.


that's two different things.
