Heck, we can even listen to an old transistor radio with a 3 inch "full range" speaker and still hear the music... pretty remarkable really.

I could rephrase a little and say that I could hear the vinyl noise if I thought about it, but listening to music took my full aural attention and it was not within my realm of consciousness. I have very mild tinnitus and I never hear it unless I read "tinnitus" or someone mentions it in conversation. It was like that, so when hearing music on vinyl I really didn't notice it in the least.
