Vinyl is put forward as the holy grail of sound
It isn't.

It is.

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

That's quite a strange thing for a musician to say.

I just hope he doesn't waste his time trying out different guitars when he fancies a new one, no point, sound is sound

Not really
There 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.

I dunno, I'm only being obstinate.
I like records, I like the way they sound, bugger all the technical buggery.

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.
