    Have to just say I am sat here now listening to AC/DC High Voltage on CD through a Sony XB930E QS UK SE that was £130 off of eBay and it is sounding superb. Yes I also have the vinyl LP. It's maybe a little more fun on the LP, a little less like listening to a recording and more like hearing them live. But I want it to sound like a recording of a band playing, not them playing live in my living room. I completely understand why some prefer the latter.
    You want it to sound like a recording rather than playing live in you living room? I really don't understand where your coming from in that one.

    i do. I dont really want them playing live as most live performances are less than great(not all) I'd rather hear it as good as they can get it personally

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I haven't listened to a turntable for over 30 years and that one was a B&O jobbie that my step dad owned.

    Comprendo. I certainly don't want to make studio recordings sound like live albums but I want to try and recreate a tangible prescence in my room where I feel the performers and get a connection with the instruments that make them sound as real as possible.

    Shouldn't be surprising coming from a drunken moderator.

    That's it exactly. Regardless of how the recording was made it is never going to be anything more than a recording. So it should sound like a recording - if it is a purist recording, say a band recorded playing live in a room, I want to hear them in that room, not my room.

    Hmm. Yesterday I came home with 21 LPs under my arm. I paid grand total of $15.00 for 21 LPs. How can you beat that price wise?

    I don't get this. Why discriminate like that? Why not just enjoy the realism that a good TT gives you? Who cares if it's live or studio or whatever?

    Read post 122, he admits he is just too lazy to run a vinyl set up. I know quite a few people like that who prefer an iPad and run all their music remotely and then convince themselves digital sounds better just because they can't be arsed to set a turntable up correctly and turn an album over!
