Tomcy6 - a bit presumptuous and condescending of you and a common misconception on the part of the digital crowd. That would be like me saying that the people who prefer digital just are not sensitive to things like truth of timbre and natural life-like, room-filling sound - they just prefer it because it's cheaper and easier.
In terms of what is truer to the master tape - hey, we heard those types of arguments before in the early '80s - "perfect sound forever", right?
Perhaps there are some of us who actually prefer vinyl because we think it sounds better?
I think it's folly to presume any reasons for anyone's personal taste.
Sorry but you've hit a nerve here, I've heard this line of reasoning before and it smacks of elitism.
