Thats a great point about new vinyl and old vinyl. When I purchase the more
recent albums on vinyl I'm always slightly disappointed with the sound but
if I play a 40 year old Heep classic the sound is far superior to a vinyl of
today.

It's always interesting to read about different sound, like Ian I never had
high end equipment, but am very picky about sound, I need edge and I need
deep but not booming bass, I can't stand distortion on the full sound, only
instruments intended to be distorted, a lot on new age recordings seem to
have distortions that are added on after recording, I hate it. Overall vinyl
has a better sound, sadly it's only on older recordings that were recorded
in the analog era so it's a lost art. New recordings do not have that same
sound, sorry vinyl fans. I no longer play records, I don't have room or any
interest. What's funny is sound wise I don't like mp 3s but they are what I
mostly listen to and in fact sound better than any of my home CD players,
only in my car do I get the proper sound. I have always had my own ways of
listening to music, and adjust everything to how I want it to sound there is
no single setting that works because every recording I have ever heard has a
problem I need to fix to fit my ears. Dave S
