Re: the sound of a record.
Look, most people don't seriously listen to music unless they are at a classical music concert orfor a few years when they're teenagers and think that Motley Crue/Britney Spears/U2 (insert name of act here) is writing songs for them and them alone. The vast majority of people listen to music as background noise. By that imean that they are aware of the music/song and may even sing along, but they aren't putting a conscious effort into listening and trying to separate the instruments in the mix or trying to see if everything stays in the same key.
Most people could give a shit about that kind of stuff.
And while I love music and played in a band for 7 years, I never bought into the whole "records have warmth while CD's don't " argument, simply because, as I stated above, it isn't true.
The sound differences aren't due to the material that the music is etched on vinyl for records and silicon/sand for CD's, the difference is due to whether the actual music was recorded on digital or analog equipment.
