I simply listen to music via vinyl now, unless I'm in the car where CD compressed muffled sound does .
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 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
Philistines the lot of you. You can't beat the sound of 78's on the old gramophone... music to the ears.
Pfft kids today :rolleyes:
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.
Project turntable, currently scouting ebay gumtree etc. for a suitable 1980's Rega Planer 3 (which incidentally, i used to own one ) 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 time

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.
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"
Digital ,Vinyl, Cassette be buggered, family doo sing songs are the future! .
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
Spotify premium and Beats Pill
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.
When I were a lad, we had a gramaphone. If we were lucky!
I bet the kebab house underneath and the guy in the opposite bed sit love you
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'
