    Feckin' CDs?? What you on about?

    Get a deck and play VINYL. It's how all great music was meant to be listened to.

    Oh, and while your at it, purchase some decent music for once.

    I simply listen to music via vinyl now, unless I'm in the car where CD compressed muffled sound does .

    Serious question:

    Do people really LISTEN to music these days, or is it just stuff put on while they're tapping into Twitter, FB, etc?

    I, for one, used to set some time out, put on a vinyl LP and sit back and listen to it.

    Original or newly pressed vinyl?

    Genuine question. The reason I ask is that remastered stuff is usually compressed and had its analogue warmth knocked out of it by the digital process. Putting that back on vinyl cannot be as effective as when the original analogue recordings were used to make it.

    I have bought a few new 180 gramme vinyl pressings recently, and TBH quite dissapointed with the quality of some of them, dynamic range being poor, vague separation of the instruments, pops and clicks etc. I have played 3 of my older LPS' after my lunch (Thompson Twins into the Gap, Tears for fears Songs from the big chair, and currently Tina Turner Private Dancer, sonically they are light years ahead of modern digital to analogue pressings. That said, my lad recently got me a Vinyl of an album he plays on, of which I also have the CD, the vinyl recording clearly separates his notation in the mix.

    After years of abusing my ears with loud music I wouldn’t notice any difference between a cheepo system and an expensive one, cd or vinyl

    I was looking into the possibility of getting a vinyl 7" made of a track I recorded with a band years ago. I was surprised to read one company say that they generally have to reduce the bass, treble and narrow the stereo width before cutting, simply because of the limitations in the format - treble distorts easily, too much bass causes skips. Today's new loud, compressed, limited masters don't make good vinyl.

    Refresh my memory anybody was Richer Sounds on Albany or City Road. I only went in there once and the guy put me off by talking sh*te I couldn't understand and showing me Stuff I couldn't afford. Was explained far more eloquently to me by a dude in Argos.

    Me 'Will it play music'?
    Him ' Yes it will'
