RE: [Harp-L] music and perception

["Bill Hines" <billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could never really clearly hear the difference between cd and vinyl
that offends Young and Dylan. I always supposed that was due to my bad
hearing (to some extent Neil Young is responsible for this, haha). At
least CD vs vinyl - I always thought vinyl felt 'warmer' too but assumed
that was just my affection clouding my perception (as in the wood vs
plastic debate?). 

However, I thoroughly enjoy cranking up my surround system to some good
dvd audio, now that feels damn warm to me.

Funny though that at my daughter's graduation party last week, I had an
old military buddy here so when the band got done I threw on some old
vinyl discs that we used to blast the barracks out with, and a few
people noticed a difference (this piped out was over some outdoor
speakers) in the sound. My vinyl is still mostly well cared for, but old
so I'm sure a lot of the bad stuff Ken talked about (great post!) has
happened to them. Maybe the folks were hearing the hiss, crackle, and
pop, ha. Now that brings back memories!
