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

Oh, and while your at it, purchase some decent music for once young man. Go on buy a classic slice of 60s Northern Soul and practice your spins and backflips. Best way for you to get fit and pull the birds
I thought CD's were digital?Quote:

I, for one, used to set some time out, put on a vinyl LP and sit back and listen to it.
Project turntable, currently scouting ebay gumtree etc. for a suitable 1980's Rega Planer 3 (which incidentally, i used to own one ) :cry: or a Thorens TD160, 1980's Arcam Alpha amp, donated by Mozzer :-) and sounding sweet, feeding a pair of Wharfedale Diamonds my originals from the 80's, Sunday afternoon is my vinyl timeQuote:

Better still get her great granny around get her on the Advercaat ask her to belt out some Vera Lyn, followed up backed up by your mum and dads rendition of "Were all Going On A Summer Holiday"Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Audio excellence that's it they was a little snobby. Richer sound more of a pile em high shop but still with good knowledge.Quote:

Some of the stuff I listen to has so much low end bass it tickles my silly so no need for huge outlay , I often turn the bass down and treble up so you can hear what's happening anyway
Audio excellence is a proper audiophile shop :biggrin: you ring them up and tell them what equipment you would like to listen too, they do an unbiased demo of the various equipment say if it's amps, NAD, MISSION, CAMBRIDGE, NAIM etc. you get to listen in a dedicated room and get the best your budget can afford, I've bought from Audio excellence and Richer Sounds each has their own niche, I won £100 of richer sounds vouchers many many years ago in what HIFI magazine, before Richer Sounds had a shop in Cardiff, I went over to the Whiteladies road branch in Bristol and put it towards a marantz CD player, it was one of the 1st commercial models available, I think the Phillips cd101 was the 1st.Quote:

Godsticks are playing at a rock festival at Trecco Bay soon, the event has sold out, i'm struggling for a ticket!!!.Quote:
