another thing about this vinyl subject... it is probably the purest form of recording, in the 20' and 30's before digital rcording systems, they used to make recordings by using a big megaphone type thing, and the whole band would stand in front, and play into it, and some needle would press the sound into a disc of wax, to make the record. and they couldnt use drums because it would make the needle skip, so if you listen to old ragtime and swing recordings, the percussion is like lil wood blocks and bottles 'n shit, its really funny....just alil F.Y.I. stuff that i learned in jazz band at my school... i thought it'd be neat to share... anyways my point is, that vinyl is pure music, none of this digitalizing sound bullshit...its music, not information, and when its on vinyl, its always music, never once is the sound converted to information, but on cd, the music is converted to digitalized info, then converted back to music on your cd player...sorry bout the length.. mikie! >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: SDRE List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: OTS Re: [sdre-l]: Vinyl, pushing wares >Date: Mon, 5 Apr 1999 14:47:17 -0400 (EDT) > >Well, actually, with a decent record player, the quality of vinyl is >actually better than CD.
