ps: Although Tomlinson Holman made a great THX, I still prefer Robert Duvall. Just a personal preference, no double-dog-dare-ya testing.

High end is when you know you're way beyond your limits (technical, financial), and you still keep pressing on.
It works, sometimes... 🙂

Right now, just take a photo of a white surface at F:16, out of focus and moving your camera as fast as you can at long exposure time to have everything blurred ... and enjoy ;-)
I took this picture yesterday, somewhere in Thailand. Sorry for the distraction guys,
but it seemed strangely appropriate.
High heels, tiny tables, the required balance is superhuman. And sorry, Tryphon, my lens found more interesting subjects ;-)

Great, now do you know how to cue a record on an RCA broadcast turntable?
Haha, excellent. Although it almost always works: How often does a high end customer complain about their purchase? Customer satisfaction seems to be inordinately high, I wonder why that should be? 😉

Where? GPS coordinates please.
We'll be there in July, and I want to check out this gravity defying place where people sit upside down. :
It is not there that people sit upside down, it is from here that we watch upside down ;-)
Probably my idea of using both by this (link) way solves the problem of rumble and belt slack/stretch.

Pp 78 & 79 missing from the PDF I downloaded...I subscribed to Audio from 1980-2000 and loved it, great tech overview and equipment test reports. Much less flowery BS when describing equipment, which was much appreciated as it did nothing to help me understand any differences...
Whaaaaa??? Get right out of town!!!
lolol

That sort of “junk” (your words) is the subject of admiration and appreciation for others.
You think of them as they are clueless. So they think of you.
(move your hypothetical viewfinder toward the “why people still listen to analog vinyl (“junk”) instead of listening to and through digital” scene)

I would also like that to be explained to me.
Especially since it seems that the old nostalgic people are not the majority of buyers of vinyl, but indeed the younger generation. It seems that after almost disappearing, the vinyl market is growing years after years. May-be a fashion ?

I've heard the youth want something physical, actually a bit tired of data only music. I like CD's, they don't have to be turned over every few minutes
I play vinyl to listen to music I once acquired. Not to sound. When I listen to sound, the music stops.
Well, at least,one thing remain in favor of vinyls, their good resistance in time.
Could be seen as provocative, but, after my music library was stored in a humid cellar for a long time, I found a lot of CDs completely destroyed by mold. In fact, all those whose upper face was not screen printed on all the surface. We can see through by places.
No vinyl was mistreated during this period.
It is true too, that all the protocol needed to play vinyls, the beauty of the record sleeve have a special charm that is lost with our dematerialized or miniaturized modern media. So is-it like loving black and white film photography, that have a charm lost with modern digital cameras, that (since few years), exceed in quality and fidelity this old technology ?

I listen to both cd and vinyl format. Vinyls because most of indian classical and other music converted to audio cd sound bad. May be we were learning. Audio CDs pressed in those days in UK sound good according to some audiophiles. Besides turntables, cartridges, tonearms are good mechanical device to study and explore. Nothing to do with comparing high fidelity against CDs. Just if they can be improved further.
