You could say I’ve worked nights if homework counts… This past year, there have been several nights during which I did homework from 4 pm to 4 am and got up at 6:30 (sometimes multiple nights in a row), plus a couple all-nighters.
Homework definitely counts.

A couple of weeks ago there was a discussion in the Albums forum about vinyl and CD. I forgot to mention a couple of things in more detail, such as the frequency response of vinyl versus CD. Most masters of records used various equalization techniques to alleviate the poor frequency response of vinyl. CD does not have these limitations of frequency response and other issues such as hiss, popping, crackle, and more. So, in general, well mastered tracks will sound better on CD than on vinyl. The problem is that most tracks are mastered worse on CD than vinyl. This is where the misconception starts. Through a game of telephone, the fact that tracks are worse mastered on CD gets bended to the misconception that vinyl is better at reproducing sound than CD. So, while you can say that you like the way that vinyl sounds better than CD and how you like the experience, you have a problem when you start to get into the objective terriorty when you start to say that vinyl is better than CD.
Rant over.

I wouldn’t say homework counts. What high school gives 12 hours worth of homework?
The Person in Question
His does, apparently.
A sane high school wouldn’t. Not all schools are sane.
No scene has ever made me want to see a movie more than this scene.
They aired that uncensored on network television when I was a lad. It scarred me for years.

1000%. It’s more mastering and mixing than actual sound quality. There’s an audible difference between the kinds of mastering between the formats – people aren’t bullshitting when they say vinyl sounds warmer in some way – but, at the end of the day, the best compliment I’ve ever given a standard vinyl pressing to this day is that it sounds as new as a CD.
180 gram vinyl though? That’s for keeps. You have to shell out for that but if it’s a favorite album of yours it’s worth the money.

He’s black and white.
So he’s one of those half-black, half-white/half-white, half-black aliens from that really lame Season 3 TOS episode?
He’s something you can’t even imagine.

Holy shit…
I un-ironically agree with this wholeheartedly, and even think its clearly stated and not a waste of typing in the least.
And it’s even more or less appropriate for this thread!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL HXYW?!?!?!?!?!

It’s kind of like when you said one nice thing to Haseo.
Vinyl is better. CD may have the potential to be better, but it never is. I don’t care what the reason the vinyl sounds better is, whether it’s only because it was mastered better or not, the fact is it sounds better and so that’s what I’ll spend my money on.
Vinyl may sound better for certain records, but calling it better than CD is disingenuous.
The point is when you buy a vinyl you’re more likely to get a better product than if you buy a CD. Whatever the reason is, results are results.
That’s probably true. But don’t go around saying that vinyl is definitively better than CD.
Analog Laserdisc audio is better. 😉
Where were you in '77?
Actually, Laserdisc audio is stored digitally.
Vinyl is definitively better than CD.
