    I bet there are enough vinyl enthuasists who convince themselves they can hear the difference
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Didn't the speaker cables have to be made from gold wire for an enhanced experience?

        At least that's what some salesman in Richer Sounds once told me.

        Of course, there was a time when records were made purely for showing off the quality of your hi if. I believe there was even an lp that had no recorded sound at all - it just showed off how clean your system was.

            On the face of it, our Silver SuperKords may look very expensive, but put the cost of them into context. Say you have a system with a £5,000 CD player in it, which you love the sound of. But what happens when the upgrade bug bites? You might find that to upgrade your sound, you might need to invest in a player costing upwards of £10,000. Now, in our opinion, upgrading your £5,000 CD player’s mains lead to a Silver SuperKord SD II will bring about an even bigger upgrade than upgrading your player to the next model… and it’s cheaper. In that context, surely the Silver SD II SuperKords offer extremely good value for money?

              There are folks who think they can tell the difference between 1080p and 425 lines.

                Ah but it had a warmer sound. Digital is too cold. Brrrrrr.

                  On the basis that it scares the bejesus out of me every single time I listen to it my mains cables must be good enough.

                    All those lovely scratches that did it. Added an extra beat to the music. What really improved a vinyl was accidentally leaving it on the window sill in the hot sun. PJ Proby sounded much better after that.
