"One thing IS apparent, listening to an MP3 on a cheap PC, is NOT a professionally accepted way of auditioning (anyone, correct me if I am wrong here) $20-120k components"
Could the point be that if a preference can be demonstrated with a recording on the lowly MP3 then it must be real?
"I'm also a bit dissapointed that the discussion here has been so civil. No death threats, name calling, etc. I guess there's the H-cat thread for that."
I'm thinking that perhaps the LP listener is a kinder, gentler sort of audiophile?
