Russ, wasn't there some rule against posting when you are drunk? I thought I remembered reading that in the forum bylaws....

Russ call Guss because Mayfair is on the digital bus..................

step 1... lay off the drugs
step 2... stop fancying yourself a poet/philosopher
step 3... repeat

did you like cassette better than cd?

here's your answer. unless you've been listening to super-well recorded albums on your reference system in your dedicated listening room (well-treated acoustics, perfect symmetry over the Y/Z plane, *properly* set up speakers...) then your answer is this:

no, you don't. very, VERY fucking few people have any idea what an incredible recording sounds like on an incredible playback system. and what percentage of americans could afford a dedicated listening room with a reference-grade stereo? how many people even have that leisure, much less the inclination... so get over it! it's always been the case and it probably always will. but if you think it's your place in the world to go out and open the eyes of the mp3-loving masses, then uh, good luck. what're the dimensions of your listening room again?

Well.........tommy what if I told you I had Zeppelin uncompressed studio tracks...............would you know better....?.........

Yeah, in your face! I'll bet you don't have copies of every Steely Dan album on those remastered gold CDs, either.

I'd know not to listen to it, unless the "uncompressing" somehow removed all the cock guitar, fantastical lyrics, and any trace of Robert Plant at all. Led Zeppelin were pretty terrible.

Y'know, as much as I disagree with you on this, Jacques....Your distaste for the Zep came in really handy here. Well played.
