Hey Rob! Suddenly, I can see your posts! Have you changed anything?


Nothing - curious.


They're both routes to the same thing - creating a pleasing and
perhaps realistic and natural sound. Arny's just using 'distortion' as
a catch-all pejorative. I'm using the word in a different way.



Arny and Poochie use the word 'distortion' like some people use the
words 'monosodium glutamate' - fine, nothing on the planet exists
without distortion; the thing is not to get caught on the 'audible
distortion' horse**** - Arny hears the 'audible distortion' like some
people can taste the monosodium glutamate in pork pies....

For all the arm-waving, ranting and spittle running down the chins of
the bashers here, the fact is that a lot of people can still be bothered
to climb over the *digital desidiosis* to get a lot of deep enjoyment
from playing LP -, despite all the defects (real and imagined) that the
bashers can't stop going on about!

Good innit?

:-)


I suspect for some it's gone beyond listening to music, and towards some
sort of maths.
