(Most vinylists I'm aware of go on to *process* the
sound further with their own kit selection and
tweakery - not everyone simply slaps it down on a
cheap plank deck and starts bitching about *rumble*
and *bearing noise*....!! ;-)

Agreed that turntable rumble and bearing noise are not
characteristic of quality LP playback equipment. But
also noted that "grain noise" added during the
production process gets more and more audible, the
higher the quality of the LP playback equipment.


Grain....???


Gotcha Keith. One of the complaints you hear from guys
who really learned vinyl inside and out from the days
when vinyl was practially all that we had, is that you
don't know vinyl technology well. Well, read this and learn:
http://eil.com/explore/guide/vinyl_making.asp Grain noise was a low
almsot rumble-like noise that was
due to hasty nickel plating.


Gawd...

Stoppit FFS! I only play the damn things - I don't
*manufacture* them!! (Although, if wuz younger....)

Information like this was frequently published in consumer audio magazines
back in the day.


You're trying way too hard, Arny - it's this simple:

We have *hundreds* of bloody CDs here and maybe more than
a dozen different gadgets that can play them. Once in a
while I'll put one of a very small, select few on (no LP
equivalents) and, sure as eggs, I'll wander off after a
while and quite simply *not hear* the rest of it. I can't
recall the last time I was ever able to sit through an
entire CD - it must be *years* ago now!!

Speaks to your prejudices.

LPs? One after the other, usually - sometimes 'til the
wee small hours, unable to stop slapping them on to the
turntable!!

OK, you've got an obsession with playing LPs, or maybe a fetish.

Get the idea? No-one to impress, no-one taking note.....

Enjoy!, but don't run around blaming your prejudices, obsessions and
fetishes on failings of the CD format.

Now, if you (or anyone else) get anything like the same
pleasure from your CDs, I am utterly *delighted* for
you!! :-)

Given the wonderful variety of music available on digital formats, being
able to listen to them for hours and hours is some kind of a wonderful gift.
