Says it all and I will not add to this thread again other than to
say,
having been cornered into the position of 'Sole Defender Of Vinyl' in
UKRA in the recent past, all I ever sought was that a *small few*
should
not have had it banned as an 'inadmissible audio topic' - no-one ever
said it was *compulsory*....


OK, I've changed my mind and will add to this thread...



But vinyl has NOT been banned. You are still welcome to buy it and
listen to
it. What more do you need???


Perfect example of the deliberate distortion that all vinyl bashers need
to forward their agenda - or you really can't distinguish between
banning *vinyl* or the *topic of vinyl* in an audio ng....??

Others are just sick of hearing the same stupid arguments for 25
years!


Their problem, not mine....

And those who like vinyl will continue to like it. And those who do
not will continue in their ways as well.

Nothing will change and nothing will be learned other than a
monumental waste of bandwidth will transpire if this thread gets legs.
Which it should not IMHO. Even the likes of the "commander" and Bret
should recognize that much and stay under their various rocks.

I like them both, the LP has the edge in the information carrying
capacity of the jacket, while the CD has the edge in convenience.

Exactly. It is permitted to "like them both". And even analog tape,
both via the ubiquitous A77 and even ~~SHUDDER~~ cassette or 8-Track.
I do own the mandatory A77, of course. A road-deck as it happens. It
even gets used on occasion. Also a few cassette decks, but never and
no 8-Tracks.

One would think that the sole-and-entire purpose of the hobby is to
have fun with it. Those that perforce must make a living at it, and
those who believe that they are God's Gift to the hobby and its
bleeding edge will see things differently of course. Writing for
myself, I am happy to putter about with what crosses my path, learning
a little as I go and spending a good deal of time being pleasantly
surprised at what I hear and what I do. And I can rest in the certain
knowledge that *nothing* I do will be cause for earth-shattering
revelations... the pressure is 'off' in other words.

I certainly agree. I personally like them both.

I agree 8 Tracks are dog****. But, while the Revox was one of the
better consumer decks, why not ante up for a real one-an AG440 Ampex
maybe? Or even a 351.

Bret, the Revox A700 is perhaps the best 1/4" tape deck ever made.
Even more so than any Ampex ever, or even the (in)famous Crowns. I
kept one briefly, but frankly, the A77 met my needs, is much more
portable, and with the built in amps and speakers is far more
adaptable to most uses. So I made a nice little profit on the 700, and
kept the A77.

The Ampex units are total overkill for domestic use. I'd take a Revox A700
over an Ampex any day. For speed stability, that direct drive Pabst capstan
motor combined with the electronic servo tensioning, was just unbeatable.
And the electronics were modern and quiet. Plus, unlike the Ampex, the whole
package doesn't take up an entire room.

They sounded better than the average cassette of the day due to running at
twice the speed. I've got a rather rare Woolensack recorder with Dolby B
which uses ferrichrome tape. Just as good as a decent 1/4" at 7.5 ips. Of
course they all suffer from the limited track running time.

Indeed. Many of the arguments would stop if ignorant vinyl-lovers
would stop spewing their ignorance. Seems as though every half-wit
out there thinks they have sufficient knowledge of digital audio to
make bold statements about it's supposed limitations.
