I know what you're trying to say, but the thing is...

Unlike the CD, the LP has nothing to prove. An LP can sound great in spite of its faults. Excellent technical specs aside, we're all aware that PCM digital has had the reputation of failing to "deliver the musical goods." Just listen to the dramatic improvements in A/D and D/A conversion over the past several years--that alone attests to the shortcomings.

I agree that we don't see as much criticism of LP's faults as we do of CD's in high-end audio discussion. However, do you think we would see improvements of the same magnitude in the LP format if we harped those faults? I don't see that happening, so perhaps that's the reason.
