    Except all the things you mention are about sensory fidelity and you can make an argument for either. The only “fact” involved in CDs vs vinyl is that the latter is less convenient. The audio warmth being more pleasant to someone’s ears is not something you can argue with, it just is for them.

      That’s exactly my point.
      People like the noise and feel of an engine, even if it’s objectively worse at doing the primary thing it’s supposed to do.

      All the things I mentioned have the exact same issue. They have more detail and more accurate reproduction. Which are objectively the point of their medium. But people want less detail and accuracy, because they “like it.”

        Okay. My apologies. Rather than stating that as a fact, I thought you were judging it. My mistake.

          I’m not judging people who prefer vinyl, and other objectively worse things.
          I’m absolutely judging people for calling them better, in an attempt to justify why they like them.
