LPs, v. iPods - round 1
what i think the add is trying to say is, and i saw this as well,as i was watching the yankee game, is....digital media including the ipod...is the future, and it will get much better as time goes on, where itunes will make the downloading as good as if not better then the cd itself....look at tower records in n.y. alone and other states all closing becouse of itunes and all other sites!! WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF AUDIOPHILIA!! |
Did any of you see this article on cnn last week? High fidelity takes backseat to portability. CNN article |
Its important to be flexible in both worlds. I own the pod. I own records. When I'm drivin in my car or out in my garden I listen to the pod, although mildly annoyed. When I open a 12 year single malt and put up my feet at the end of that day well...let the vinyl play. Flexibility folks. After all, we can have our cake and keep stuffing ourselves. Peter |
Did you read the article about Ry Cooder in Stereophile? He didn't like the sound of his CDs and asked that the master be ripped to an ipod before the final master was released. Like most of us here the word "heresy" was used. But Ry Cooder found it more pleasing to listen to. I believe Robert Baird wrote the article. It was the last page of a Stereophile issue fairly recently. |
I'm almost part of the "don't own a TV" crowd. I own one, but I rarely use it. I plugged it in to watch the World Series last October, and it's been unplugged ever since that god-awful series came to a merciful conclusion. But, I finally saw said commercial at my girlfriend's house. When the commercial started, she said "that's you!" (apartment full of LPs). When it ended, she said "That's not you!" (apartment with iPod and all LP's gone). And she doesn't want me to be that guy. I've found my true love! Cheers. |
hey Tfkaudio i liked the way the Cardinals whiped the Tigers butts. i love dem red birds. baseball and rock and roll instead of the TV audio. on the commercial i think like all else going on in todays world men and what we like does not fit into a woman's way of looking at things. we eater go along or we are out of the club. and i dont know why but we go along with it humm. i think its called p---y whiped, Bose has made its way just for that reason. small box speakers and a hidden base module. i thought the room looked just fine the way it was. |
