| You guys are all stupid, everyone knows electronic music was invented by The Prodigy in 1997 when they released their first album, the fat of the land. |

I wouldn't blame the country so much as I'd blame the "superstar" DJs of the past 10 years or so, and the people they eventually ended up introducing to electronic music. |

The crystal method were superstar idiots.
Not the era I'm talking about. Think more along the lines of the crowd born at club XL, and the current ~18 year old crowd who consider Tiesto a god. |

| Similar concept also applies to photography, btw. Digital cannot touch film in certain areas such as warmth and "human" feel. You can try to make a digital photo LOOK LIKE a film photo... you can come close. But tell me what's funny about trying to do so, when out of a film camera, you just take the picture and you're done. And sure, there's more noise, it's not as "clean", it's not as refined, etc. But there is a certain something about "art" that is lost when you try to make things "pure".. "clean"... and "blemish-free".. sure it looks nice and clean. But things that used to have an infinitely complex depth in regard to definition and detail become a series of 1's and 0's. Blocks. Steps. Digital cameras can only resolve so many details, this is numerated by their megapixel count. The resolution of film cameras? ∞ |

Without getting into my own personal tastes.... I wouldn't call the sample rate of cd "precise, pristine quality"... unless we're talking about SACD with a 2.8 MHz sample rate...and even those can have issues. Taste is certainly subjective...but mathematically it's hard to not discuss aliasing and other data junk. I also think that in cases where the Nyquist criteria has to be lowered to accommodate for fundamental frequencies, you have issues unless alias-protected decimation is used...and that's not always the case. The bottom line...they both have their issues... cost really becomes a factor as to why one medium is more popular than another. The average consumers' ears aren't trained to hear sonic difference, but they are trained to follow clever marketing techniques (props to Sony in the 70's).
With that said, I use cds because they are cheap, easy to use, easy to carry, and convenient in many ways...but at home, nothing beats putting on a 1934 RCA pressing of Beethoven or Mozart and kicking back into la la land. |

somewhat related,
has anyone had a "used" vinyl that caused the song to mess up completely? or does that not happen with vinyl?
I mean, you get a scratch on your cd, and well, your ed on that song, and the crowd knows it. |
if you mean scratches on a vinyl? sure. vinyls can get scratched, and those scratches can cause the record to skip; I prefer vinyl skipping over CD skipping, it's not as, harsh :clown: |
