I've heard the following mind numbing phrase used by one person to describe their vinyl music listening experience: "uninterrupted magnetic chain" (ie: from the production all the way to their speakers). The absolute lack of understanding of: electrical engineering, acoustics and signal processing is on full display with these folks.

To me it really highlights the difference of those who seek to understand deeply, and those who interact with the world only in superficial and aesthetic ways. The latter really want to depend on the "magic" within the machine, and can get upset if you try to shed light on how these things really work.

The thing is, some original Vinyl recordings really do sound better than recent heavily compressed "remasters" on CD. Perhaps this person just doesn't know how to explain why the Vinyl sounds better when all the techies say CD is superior (e.g. higher dynamic range, in theory).

'i can hear a difference' is much more honest and plausible than making up a technical sounding phrase to pass for explanation.
