*colorful* may be the operative description

*colorful* may be the operative description.

Above, I referred to vinyl as being a "tunable". By that I mean that the sound is easily manipulated, far more so that a SACD player/transport. The sound of any given rig can be changed/alter in a clearly audible way. I've done it. It's easy to do. Just change to cartridge. Or change cartridge loading from 100 ohms to 1000 ohms, for example. Or change the phono line stage, or switch out the step up transformer, or add a step up transformer, replace a Chinese tube type, with a different Russian tube type, switch from a Denon DL103 to a Koetsu Black, etc. Due to the almost endless input choices available to vinyl devotees in shaping the sound that he or she wants for their specific rigs, in my opinion, vinyl an extremely poor reference standard except, perhaps, to the format itself.

You are a disciple of "tonal accuracy"; not a hall mark of vinyl.
