  1. Re:This is not news to DJs on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1
    can you hear anything between 22 kHz and 96 kHz?

    The answer is not NO, as you might expect; but rather not directly.

    Sounds that you might experience stemming from a 800 Hz signal, can and often do have harmonic tails (so to speak), mirroring their root from 2.4 KHz all the way to 48 KHz. Your ear cuts them off, but that doesn't stop your brain from trying to guess or auto complete the perception of the original 800 plus tails source (This is MP3's bread and butter move, remember). A new DVD audio format enables you, if you want, to intake this harmonics all the way up to 96 KHz. Of course you'd have to have recorded at 192 KHZ but that's another story.

    Yes 1. You may argue that for the lay people the added hearing pleasure is irrelevant; but to me, that's like saying you'll try to stop wine makers from delivering their $1000 bottles because on average one should be OK drinking $10-$30 bottles for the rest of your life.

    And 2. If the Vinyl mates say they can *hear* this difference and it makes their experience more pleasurable, more power to them... let them have their cup of wine . . . let's see the RIAA go after those *blatantly dishonest* DJs *sharing* and ugh, *lending* their LPs as if it were theirs.

    *tounge out*, I spit in your general direction RIAA.

    from Understanding Popular Music Author: Shuker, Roy. Publication: London ; New York Routledge, 2002.

    For male collectors, the social role of collecting appears to be a significant part of masculinity. As Straw suggests, record collections, like sports statistics, provide the raw materials around which the rituals of homosocial interaction take shape. Just as ongoing conversation between men shapes the composition and extension of each man's collection, so each man finds, in the similarity of his points of reference to his peers, confirmation of a shared universe of critical judgement.

    Me thinks RIAA Goons will really like this piece of legislation; They are all for fines and spying, are they not? $10 000 per log entry, I say! Me thinks we should develop unloggability or untraceability inside the transport protocols, DNS schemes end the like. Shouldn't us leaders be spending braincells in subject matters of more social impact ... say unemployment or universal health? I agree with almost all of you: this is fraud. -k
