Perhaps it has something to do with differences in individual physiological structures and/or auditory
processing capacities?}
All sensory data is filtered through the brain. In sound, the filtering process is
known as “psychoacoustics”. This process allows a participant in a conversation taking place in a noisy environment—ie: a busy restaurant—to filter everything but their own conversation out of their perceptions. The same is true of our perceptions of the audible clicks and pops that SOMETIMES plague vinyl recordings".
I wasn't thinking about clicks and pops but of what I often hear vinyl fans say: that vinyl sounds more "organic" and digital sounds "harsh".
As for your comment:
"Here’s to great music, regardless of your choice of playback technologies!"
I can't argue with that !!!!!!!!!
