I like our vinyl. I know you're talking about a different thing, but music of old sounds better with the imperfections. Depends on your definition of "quality" I guess though.  Don't throw away your LP's, the tone arms of the world shall rise again! The best quality LP's still exceed the best CD's in accuracy and quality of sound reproduction. A very able mathematician-physicist friend of mine estimated that CD's would need to contain 3 to 5 times the quantity of information as they do in order to begin to compete with audiophile-quality analogue LP's. .

True about CD v. vinyl -- used to be a big issue among DJ's when I was active.
Now it is all digital computer files which can have as much quality as your sound card can deliver.

I think that his style and attitudes, in general, have a depressing and negative effect on the people who listen to him. He is usually morose, whiny, full of put-downs, often nasty, and sometimes even trivial [Typically American, now that I come to think of it]. Continuing the spirit of good-natured contentiousness, there is an idiom about the pot calling the kettle black. (The originator of the idiom may have been William Penn, British founder of the state of Pennslyvania. Said idiom allegedly resides somewhere in his writing, Some Fruits of Solitude...a piece of work I have no interest in reading for the sole purpose of locating the exact phrasing or context. I have to assume that my disinterest is a direct result of having been born in the United States.)

I wish we had little thumbs up and thumbs down things so we could rate individual posts, because Almost Naomi would get a... wait! We do!

Ahhh...but if it is indeed true, and you can't change that to which you were born, what possible hope is there for such mortals as we...??? ![[Linked Image from easyfreesmileys.com]](http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-scared-smileys-464.gif)

"IPA" stands for India Pale Ale, which is a style of ale known for its distinct "hoppiness." It's certainly my favorite. chuck, nu-man is above that sort of thing. american micro brewery is too, well, american. Once again, your judgment about me is in error, as is also your notion about micro-breweries. It is, perhaps, an example of the inward-looking self-absorption of the American character to imagine that micro-breweries are an exclusively American phenomenon. On those rare occasions when I quaff beer, I enjoy it very much, though it must, of course, adhere to the deutsche Reinheitsgebot, --- the German Purity Law. No contamination by North American commercial additives, please! .  Your ignorance is showing, Numan. Most North American micro-brewers would die before they used additives, "commercial" or otherwise. As for micro-brewing itself, I, for one, never claimed it to be an American original. I said that American micro-brewers raised the bar on IPA. I would consider their worthy efforts to worthy of art. I would also submit that you don't know enough about beer to argue the matter.
