I guess there has always been a group of people who don't understand what they are buying and who are easily gulled.

I know some of the people here like vinyl, but I was watching a short clip on the news showing manufacturers making vinyl discs that were half red and half green. When they showed a record playing, the cartridge was undulating like a boat at heavy sea. That is how poorly the disc had been pressed.

At the same time they had some person who could have been straight from the sixties saying "Yeah, man, the music is trapped in the vinyl!" I thought "And this is the guy who is holding up 6.1 surround." He probably bought a 5,000 watt amp to go with it.



He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. -- Albert Einstein
