Converting vinyl records to CD or other digital formats makes little sense. Vinyl records, played on a high-quality, well-maintained turntable integrated with a top-grade audio systems produce a more natural sound than do their digital counterparts, since the latter use computer code to store and reproduce audio signals. Since human ears are, in fact, analog hearing devices, music enthusiasts will get the most realistic listening experience if they switch from CDs to vinyl records.

Which of the foll, if discovered to be true, would do most to weaken the above statements:

A. Most people who listen to music do not have access to high-end sound systems
B. Music enthusiasts are not always willing to pay top dollar for brand-name turntables.
C. analog audio systems are more expensive than are digital audio systems
D. Vinyl records are not nearly as portable or convineient as are digital music clips, which can be stored by the thousands on a keychain-sized device.
E. Many indivisuals are unable to discern any difference in fidelity between digital and analog music stores.


Answer is A acc. to Princeton. I think it is out of scope because the point is about getting a realistic listening experience rather than accesibility.
Choice E does not totally weaken the argument since it says 'many' indivisuals and not 'all' but the best choice acc. to me because if it is true, most people will have an equally realistic listening experience, weakening the conclusion.

ANYBODY AGREE/DISAGREE?
