Now playing: Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Funnily enough, today my friends and I were taking about Black Sabbath - which undoubtably forced me to get my Dad's Sabbath records out . . . currently listening to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Krytos,

Listening on the original vinyl is awesome!! -Grand Moff Conway

when will the human race forget about these silly silver disc's and discover the superior sound quality of vinyl

The same time they (re)discover the superiority of vacuum tube based audio equipment.

an old work radio had them instead of transitors and it sounded ok i guess.

 

 

 

after waiting 20 minutes for the damn thing to wam up

I worked as a disc jockey back in the 80's when radio was still fun. We still used vinyl although CD's were beginning to make headway and we used them as well. Those were the days.

Vinyl has a much better audio quality than CDs, I wouldn't think the same of vacuum tube equipment.

 

DMB - Everyday.

This vinal-junky gibberish is gobblidegook. As soon as you put a needle of whatever quality on a hunk of plastic called a piece of vinal, you encounter loss of quality. Figure. Ten feet behind me i've got about seven grands's worth of stereo, cables of course included.

 

My stint as a DJ ended essentially ended when a braindead girl in carge of a box of my finnest extremely expensive records left it on a flight of stairs waiting for a minincab here in London. I lost vinal LPs from Brazil that had cost me anything from £30 to over £100 each. That night I was destroyed. The morning after I made the decision to go to a Buddhist monestry for three weeks. Which I did, shortly after.

 

But now i've overcome my loss, i've been able to replace my losses on CD with carefully searching on the web.... and gosh they sound better on top-spec hi-fi equipment.....

Holy shit! Dude, how long ago was this?

Hey Jahled, I lost three thousand dollars worth of vinyls years and years ago. All classical.

 

A high quality vinyl is a very fine thing indeed. I still have fond memories of a boxed Philips set of Handel's Organ Concerti.

 

Of course a high quality CD is also very good.

 

And crap vinyls and crap CDs all sound like crap.

 

There's something to be said for CDs though. They're small and light and with a modicum of care can remain essentially pristine for years, regardless of use.

 

Just imagine if computer technology had, somehow or other, gone in the direction of recording data on vinyl disks... all of us trying to keep all of our vinyl Rebellion disks working after all of these years of using them...

Empire Strikes Back Soundtrack on Vinyl. =o)

Tool - The Grudge

 

 

True, I find CDs sounds better and the upcoming super audio CDs will be great. However, Vinyl does have this unique sound to it that makes older songs sound better.

 

Though I've tested the theory of vinyl vs. CD, and on my dad's stereo the CDs usually sound better. . .

Back in the 90's at some dark point. As I think Teukros tried to convey, words brake down into meaninglessness when you try and express that moment of devestation when you realize your records are gone....

 

What hurt most was the time, effort, and energy it took me to get those records, and the realization there was no way I was going to be able to replace them in anything short of the other side of five years.

 

CD has enabled me to get most of what I lost back, though in most cases on Japanese import, which costs muchos money. One thing I will say about vinal though, is that my experiances of trying to DJ with CDs has been an absolute nightmere.

 

oh... Rush-Bastille day

Well no worries, my friend, remember those tapes you sent me? They're still blasting away with all the greatness with which they arrived! You DJing days aren't quite over!

Jahled, you could really host some of your records on your new site

This is very true. I'll add it to my list of things to do when I catch up with the modern world as far as internet connection goes....

 

That Jorge Ben CD I sent you was one of the records I had pinched on vinal, I paid £95 for it originally....

 

 

Hey Jahled, I'm sure you've heard of Numero?
