AAARRRGGGHHHH. Enough said.What, you mean > you don't prefer a high noise floor, terrible signal-to-noise ratio, plenty of hiss, wow and flutter, with continuously degrading wear and worsening sound every time you listen to an album? What are you, a heretic? Any vinyl cult follower will tell you all that crappy noise stuff translates into a "warmer sound"! :D
Most of the vinyl-heads I know are not old timers; they're kids in their 30s and younger. All the old timers I know laugh at them. We were amazed at how good things sounded when the digital age hit us, and we could start getting away from the nastiness of vinyl. I still buy almost all my music on CD, and rip it to FLAC for my Squeezeboxen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109154 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
