Guest GGuzzi Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 records do sometimes sound better than cd's I like the analogue "hiss" oh yeah and my Marshall Stack Guitar amp has VALVES in it ! I like tubes and records.
jrt Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I think this is an American version, but it's much of a muchness with the UK one in the ugly stakes Dude. put down the That makes no sense and it makes my head hurt. The snake gives it snakepower. That's a one snakepower amp. Actually, it's divided between two monoblocks, so it's two half snakepower amps.
Guest GGuzzi Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Well, if we're gonna talk music, I'd better get on in!! Vinyl will always sound better (ie more like the original artist's performance). Always. Music is analog. Vinyl is analog. There is no analog-digital conversion required. As much as 4% of the analog signal is lost every time an A-D conversion is done. On a CD you have a minimum of 2 A-D conversions. Once when it was recorded, once again when it is decoded and returned to analog which drives the speakers. CD's are handy, trouble free, maintenance free, and can be digitally altered to sound like anything the listener wants to hear, not necessasarily how the music was intended to be heard. A huge improvement over tapes but cannot possibly match the ability of vinyl. Most people who remember vinyl and the "hiss" were using cheapo Sears-o-matic turntables with $5 needles. Of course this sounds like crap - it is crap. But it is not the fault of the vinyl. A close friend has spent over 10 years and $15,000 trying to get his CD system to match the quality of sound he had from his vinyl system. Still isn't there. Oh, yeah, oil. Use whatever the hell you want and change it regularly. Rj Bullocks Most people couldn't tell the difference between Tapes, vinyl or CD. their ears aren't trained for it. Not many of them get to sit in front of a sound board and hone their ability to pick out the nuiances of music nor do i think most people care. If they like the music they listen to it. I for one come from the era of vinyl and am so happy I don't have to lug around those stinkin milk crates full of plastic. hey! We could melt the vinyl and use that to coat our engines.
gthyni Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Only the best is good enough for lubing my darlings and myself - riding italian bikes Grappa is essencial for a nice post-ride-wind-down A good Grappa is strong with a light scent of grapes and aftertaste of almonds. A dino-Grappa smells like a mix of grape juice and kerosene.
antonio carroccio Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 ....holy moly Belfast Are you trying to "catch up" on the post totals or something It’s time to do something with this young man.
docc Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Music is one thing but . . . I remember the last thread that chimed ' no euro' ended up with a lock on it.
badmotogoozer Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Whoa, Belfast Dude! You gotta lay off the sauce man! Rj

Ralph Werner Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 So does Julio break in his engines with dino or synthetic?
Admin Jaap Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Julio has broken in his young dutch wife with a lubricant from an unknown brand you can get at a pharmacy. (fact!) What a thread... Another one for the "Hilarious & Totally Insain Threads" section.
belfastguzzi Posted July 12, 2004 Author Posted July 12, 2004 Julio has broken in his young dutch wife with a lubricant from an unknown brand you can get at a pharmacy. (fact!) Just as I opened and read this thread, there is a most appropriate commentary on tv. Today, the house of Orange marches. The Belfast march is on tv at the moment. It has just been reported that one of the worthies marches with a wooden leg. He says that it is ok as he gives it a good oiling the night before. (fact) In this case, I can't conceive that a son of William would use anything other than dino oil. (second fact, in one thread – is this a record for a thresd on V.11.com?)
Admin Jaap Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 (second fact, in one thread – is this a record for a thresd on V.11.com?) Another fact! That's three in a row. If people want facts on oil and lubricants; we deliver!
jrt Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 In this case, I can't conceive that a son of William would use anything other than dino oil. What about whale blubber?
