If, on the system tested, pink noise in=pink noise out you'd be rightBut don't use terms like 'warmth' 'presence' or other such pretentious semi-artistic wankery.
Sound is sound.

Not reallyThere are differences in instruments, even between otherwise identical models but that's not what I'm talking about.
Reproduction of sound should be just that - reproduction of sound, nothing added or taken away. Hence the 'pink noise in=pink noise out' thing. If the system doesn't do that it is distorting the recording and you're not hearing what was actually recorded.

Yes and the quality of sound reproduction has been compromised each time the industry has moved to smaller formats with increased capacity.(

Without wishing to enter into a pointless debate about how, of the currently available formats for recorded music, it is a better option, I'll just say: I like records and I collect records.And not because of the sound quality.

I'm off on my holidays tomorrow. So tonight will be nice and quiet as I'll pack my stuff, have some dinner and then sit around while lady pig takes until midnight to pack because she's weird and takes ages folding and ironing stuff. Might even pop down the pub for a pint. But not a late one as we're up early to go to Dover.
Alt:I enjoyed madeira a lot. Great wine, great sea food, lovely scenery to wander about in. Also, not swamped with English lager lads who manage to ruin everything with karaoke and only fools and horses.
Edit: although I bet you love the lager lads, probably enjoy getting bummed by them when one of them gets pissed enough to admit he's Gay, but don't tell his mates or his dad.
