bingob, don't fret if an English-speaker criticises your English usage when they stick apostrophes onto plurals. |

Hehe, jeg tror ikke jeg sender noen demo; har ikke noen aspirasjoner på det feltet, men et album takker jeg gjerne ja til. Kan eventuelt kjøpe det selv og støtte folka, men vi får se når tiden er inne. Låtene på myspacen deres er ihvertfall konge! |

Can you somehow clarify the correct usage of those apostrophes? We don't use it in Norwegian, and I just go by gut feeling when applying them in English... Its = belonging to "it" It's = It is John's = Belonging to John (all the) Johns = Several people called John (my) fiancée's = belonging to my fiancée (my) fiancées = my several fiancées ? |

An apostrophe is never used in a plural; e.g. the plural of DVD (D.V.D.) is DVDs (D.V.D.s). Traditionally, a full-stop is used after each capitalised letter in acronyms, but it's rarely the case these days. If you read Hemingway (in English), you'll see that he still adhered to the rule. The possessive of it is its, you're correct there, and it's another very common error; it used to be more common than adding an apostrophe to a plural, which has become endemic... even supermarkets apostrophise plurals, so I imagine it's some kind of death knell for our language. |

yeah... wel, it's vinyl! from now on I'm going to say record so I won't be making that stupid inversion error again and AGAIN :D |

Yes. On a good hi-fi system (proper hi-fi, not some wanky £1000 thing), CD sounds like it's being played through a band pass filter, unlike well-mastered vinyl which PWNs, hard. |

I'm touched that you used full-stops; they look ever so slinky. |

The funny thing about that is that it is indeed the vinyl that is being played through a filter, or rather, EQ, as the vinyl can't have too heavy bass; it would skip if the bass was too pronounced. You already knew that, I just pointed it out to refresh the obvious amusement this would cause when paired with your statement. |

I know. I've read the "proofs" that CD is technically superior. That doesn't change my experiences of listening to vinyl and CD (back to back) on a really high end system. The vinyl just sounded like it had a vastly wider range of EQ, as well as being "smoother" and less stepped on fades, etc. Technically better doesn't always sound best (something a lot of hi-fi bods seem to overlook). HD25 cans sound much worse (as in, it's a less pleasurable listening experience) than brandless £2 in ear headphones on my laptop's soundcard, because it exposes all the weakness of the sooundcard. Whereas the latter makes it sound less digital. |

CD's are 44,100 samples per second Vinyl, like tape, is real time - not peppered with holes or shotgunned with silence True you get lots of residue from the diamond on the wax or the magnetised iron filings (which i personally like) but try DJ'ing somewhere loud and clear. If you have vinyl you will be louder and punchier than the others it is more tangeable and more fun but you need lots of space and money and patience which will come with age, by that time all the pressing plants will have closed ha! before long there will be no more electricity and world wide anarchy and we will travel for miles to drink ale together and listen to lutes and trumpets like the good old days of King John when I was a boy |

yeah + 1 on the silence thing with cds, you cannot hear it but i'm almost sure you can feel it ; i mean my ears are fucked up & the problem i have with cds with my big senn headphones is that i suffer from that "shotgunned with silence" syndrome when played loud. while with vinyls i can enjoy my doom metal records at a total irresponsible sound level without any damage. i'm less sure about those middle ages futures days... |

Ah, that wasn't what I meant... CD isn't technical superior because vinyl needs EQ: The vinyl is MADE to get EQ'd, so it basically doesn't matter.. I was just referring to the "CD sounds like it's being played through a band pass filter" part of your post. |

Thanks to the Internet and MP3 I have heard a hell of a lot of music that I'd never pay for in a billion gazillion years, who's going to pay me for that time lost? |

Conservative linguistic nitpicking and vinyl-talk; did you create this thread only to annoy me? |

Thank you! BTW: Look how this topic has evolved. It's a great topic. You can discuss almost everything! |
