Just got a raise to $13 an hour, and will get .90 a year from now on for a job that, other than a lot of walking, requires almost no physical labor. Not too bad considering I only went to high school. The catch is that I it’s stressful as balls and somebody is always waiting on me and people are mad, yelling and cussing at me daily. I’ve been doing this for some time but they changed my pay grade recently.

I recently picked up Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust! I was so happy to find that one! I also picked up Led Zeppelin’s Coda. I am really hoping to find Velvet Underground & Nico soon, but I may just pick up a reissue of that one.

Of all the led zeppelins you picked that one? Lol. I mean it’s zeppelin so Obviously it has it’s moments and “we’re gonna groove” will always be special to me as one of the first songs I learned on guitar (btw did you know that the drums bass and vocals are taken from a live performance with the guitars overdubbed and “I can’t quit you baby” is an actual live performance that they somehow got rid of the crowd noise on? The original mixes of both are on the “How the west was won” DVD) it’s vastly superior to any other led zep record.

It was a comment on that Neglify post, nothing more.

Well, I see humor doesn’t fly well today. My apologies.

😦

Humor flies quite well, actually. But it has to be funny first.

Now that’s just rude … I’m sorry I bothered.

I think he was talking about negs comment. Which I did enjoy but only because I watched that movie recently.

You are probably right.

One artist that sounds pretty much inarguably better on vinyl is ZZ Top. They have never had a good history when it comes to CD releases. Especially since I believe they only just released the original mixes for all of their pre-Eliminator albums a few years ago after replacing them the original drum track with some type of new 1980s drum machine type sound.

I think you’re right about that.

There’s no point arguing with him. He only comes here to piss people off I think. Whenever he goes without posting nobody wonders what happened to him or misses him. Some people just don’t know how to interact online, for all we know he may be perfectly likeable in person. But on here his attitude sucks bantha poodoo.

Okay, so I have an album made in 2013 on both cd and vinyl. Played back on the same speakers ran through the same receiver, the vinyl completely destroys it. The album was recorded in 2013. The cd honestly does sound pretty good, but the vinyl has more ‘punch’, a deeper sound and richer tones. I can feel the percussion beat in my chest and the sound feels the whole house, neither of which happen on the cd. And there are little details and intricacies I hear on the vinyl not on the cd. It could very well be a difference in mastering, but if they are going to consistently and always give cds over compressed and aliased where every instrument blends into each other and nothing pops, and give the master with dynamic range, a more carefully curved Eq, and overall greater care to vinyl then that’s what I’m going to pick. If cd masters weren’t mastered like shit it might be different.

Sure, sounding better is technically an opinion, take any number of people and play the same thing for them on cd and vinyl and they will (in my own experience anyway) say the vinyl sounds better. So at what point does that become trustworthy?

Also, you basically said that if cds were built better, they’d be better. Wow, what visionary.
