I guess I didn't value my albums very much...in 1985 when I bought my first CDP my vinyl was boxed up never to be played again. SQ improvement was so very obvious.

For the record I've never hung a CD from my mirror

I'd disagree if it wasn't for the fact that my vinyl rig isn't as 'static'-free as CDs. But musically speaking, I think vinyl is superior to CDs. Technically, a normal CD can only fit 20-20kHz, while the potential of a vinyl is almost unlimited. It is only limited by the depth of the groove in the record and the pickup used.

This is the greatest scientific discovery until there is a unified theory for normal physics an quantum physics.

This is strictly incorrect. In 1979, my brother destroyed my Video Killed the Radio Star record in a mutual fit of rage. After that, the record quite easily fitted in the palm of one hand. Well, the bits I could retrieve anyway...

That's tape. These look pretty cool hung from a rear view mirror, until they melt...

There is no question that CD is superior to vinyl, given the application. I don't have to stop in the act of whatever I am doing in bed or on the floor after every 15 minutes odd.... I can take the full hour giving my companion a hard time. So c-dee for me...

The only thing above 20kHz on an LP is surface noise. When cutting the lacquer, it was standard practice to roll off the highs.

You also use a DIAMOND to get the music off a record...CD, just use friggin' laserz. Take that CD.

i would like to see the player tone arm and cartridge that can stay in a
20hz groove much less play it.

 

[finbad]

9" ????

Was it Blackoak Arkansas and then Aerosmith who sung of playin' their BIG 10"......Records ????

Certainly double entendre Rock song titles will never be named after the CeeDee ... I do believe it sounds as though your online "Hotties" may very well be onto something BIG here

That was Bull Moose Jackson.

See ya
