Keithie, look through the bottom of your empty pint (oh yeah that's right, you're never empty
) instead of a magnifying glass. Rolling Surface? I need an emoticon for "I remember".
On topic, I accept that there are people with better ears than mine. If you think I'm just being modest, watch how long it takes me to tune my guitar.
But, I don't belive that someone can hear the difference betwen vinyl and a decently recorded CD because the vinyl sounds BETTER. I'll believe you can hear the ambient noise of the needle contacting the vinyl and scratches, and you define the familiarity of that noise as "warmth". I am certain that if someone took the time to record a CD and add that little bit of noise, you'd prefer the CD over a vinyl copy of the same thing.
