Sigh. You prefer vinyl to CD. So in many ways have just got off the
boat.

Take a CD and copy it to another CD. You'll not tell the difference
between them.

Take that same CD and copy it to LP. You'll instantly tell the LP copy
from the CD master.

This means LP is *adding* something to the audio that it shouldn't.


Dear oh dear...

Is that what this is all about? You still trying to win the Vinyl Wars?
(See below...)

Err, no. It was an example of how your whole thinking is flawed. You are
looking for an extremely coloured unnatural sound - and of course each
change you make sounds different and suits you for a day or so. You are
searching for some sort of holy grail that simply doesn't exist.

Vinyl is stronger than it has been for the last two decades - every
turntable manufacturer in the world has brought out new models and even
people like MF and EAR have got into it. Competition for high quality
turntables and vinyl accessories on eBay is ferocious, cartridge/deck
manufacturers are bringing out new models and the DJ scene has never
been healthier!

You lost. Get over it....

You really didn't understand the bit about vinyl *adding* to the sound,
did you? Or how it also applies to horn enclosures and 'wide range' single
drivers? Poorly designed valve amps too?
These things were known many many years ago - but you appear to be trying
to re-invent the wheel.


That you choose to ignore this most fundamental of flaws means you're
really not worth trying to educate over other matters like horn
colouration, break up of cones with full range drivers, etc etc.


Educate?

You really think I need/could get an education from you? (You really
think you're placed to educate me?)

Laughable!

No - I consider you beyond education. But five minutes reading some basic
books on audio design would increase your knowledge multifold.



I'm happy that you enjoy your hobby and certainly that you make so
much of your own bits and bobs, but when your flowery descriptions of
just how much improved the latest one is over last weeks delight read
like the very worst excesses of the Hi-Fi press.


They what....??


That made most genuine sound
enthusiasts simply stop buying them.


WTF is a 'sound enthusiast'...??

Not you, obviously. You appear to be an equipment enthusiast.

When last did you work? ;-)

Plowie can't get used to the idea that vinyl *sounds* better and despite
all his efforts in the past he hasn't been able to stop a single person
enjoying it - he's like one of those WW2 Banzai Japs who spent 30 years
defending a deserted island in the Pacific against *nobody* for 30
years, until they were lured out of their foxholes by a pack of Luckies
and the promise of a Jane Russell movie!!

What a prat. Just what percentage of the music - or reproduced sounds -
loving public listen to vinyl? Somewhere like a fraction of 1% I'd guess.
And for good reason.
