Isn't being banned from Canuck Audio Mart almost as hard as being banned from church? I'm surprised that they nailed you for saying you like CDs and dislike LPs. I thought they would get you for the constant love stories you tell about Acoustat speakers. Which maybe you sorta did when talking about your dislike of subs and you don't 'need' them.

I for one am looking forward to reading more stories about why CDs sound superior to LPs and why Acoustats are "heaven on earth."

Hi mep, i have never said that cd,s SOUND superior to LP,S what i have said and will ALWAYS say is that cd,s are NOISE FREE and lp,s aren't surface noise is ALWAYS present and will always be it's normal where there is friction there is noise IF you can live with the snack crackle and pops then good I CAN'T as for Acoustats being heaven on earth well i bought them used for $600.00 after the steel frame and modifications to the panels & the interfaces total cost is about 3k and as of now the only pair of speakers that i have heard that come close are the Audio Exklusiv P3.1 at a cost of 16K yes there is better out there BUT at what price i'm a poor man so for ME they are MY heaven on earth.:)
 
Well, I don't live with popcorn except for the popcorn I actually cook on the stove. If my LPs sounded like popcorn, I would have ditched them at a local Goodwill store a long ago and lived with "perfect sound forever." People don't buy LPs for many times the cost of the CD or the hi-rez download because they like to hear "popcorn" over their stereo system.e You drew the line in the sand a long time ago with your comment about not tolerating "one pop or tick." If you can't tolerate a single pop or click, you have made the right decision with CDs. Happy listening.
 
How many years have we debated digital versus analog? Over thirty years (since 1983) that's how many!
We now live in the hi-res audio download files era.
[Let's compare hi-res with lo-res; it ain't even a fair comparison!]

Since then both music mediums have improved because of their playback machines to play them, the cleaning methods, the recordings (some of them), and all that jazz.

There is no use to find value or discredit in/any of them, we pick the one(s) we prefer, and that is all. It don't have to be perfect, and it don't have to be accurate. ...Because none is and none will ever be. No matter how we cut it music reproduction is just that, a simile of the real thing (of the live event).

We always fight for the wrong things, and in all those wars we forget to live in peace and in harmony and appreciate the main essence itself; the music, the sweet music, be it analog or digital.

Just sayin', and I love popcorn to go with my movies.

Firs off, Andre welcome back to AS. Nice to see you again :)

However guys let's not talk about the CD VS LP, Sub VS No Sub ...etc.

It's all about your taste . Who cares what other think ? My wife thinks the Wendy's burger is the best while I think the Harvey's is little better. Luckily we have both shop around in my area so we go two separate store and meet up in between and enjoying our hamburger's together and I NEVER force her to eat Harvey's coz I do respect her and as long as she's happy with her choice I'm happy as well.

Hi i have made a decision being banned again on Canuck Audio Mart to post here more, at CAM freedom of speech is going down the drain i would like to be able to give my opinion on something without being accused of trashing the posts, i prefer cd players over turntables and i prefer my speakers without subwoofers and i would like to be able to write about it freely, it is not because i prefer cd,s over vinyl that vinyl isn't good it's just that I prefer cd,s, this is my second time being banned for giving my opinion on a vinyl / cd thread i'm fead up.

Paul, we can talk about anything that we like to talk about, there is no problem there; the problem is when we don't respect people's choice and opinion. ...When people start insulting each other because of their differences and they cannot accept it and the building of hatred over wrong rumors created in their own heads or the heads of other disturbed individuals who think that they can rule others because they know the ultimate/absolute truth. They simply don't! It's all in their own sick imagination based on misinterpreting simple words, the real meaning of them.

When you are taking stuff seriously in audio/video forums it's time to get a real life, and exit the door for a reality check, an inner self reflection, time to relax.

And nobody has the right to judge others wrongfully, ever! ...And yet, it happens so often.
The pain that some people inflict unjustly onto others will always bite them right back eventually.

Andre, I'm so goddamn happy to see you back!

Bob. the problem is why would you even bother when you already know there are NO answer for it ? It's a same question as Was the chicken first or egg first ? If you like the CD better than LP ? so be it. why open a can of worms ? when you already know what's in it. As you know I like to talk and discuss but this kind of subject you are just waiting for the trouble. IMO.
 
Paul - ignore them.

By the way - it had to be the egg! :)

Chickens, eggs and pigs - all in one day....we are changing our name to AudioFarm.org

Sorry for the word popcorn ( edited ) what i ment was like you say so well pops & clicks and you are also right i cannot tolerate a single pop or click that is the MAIN reason i went to cd,s in 1983 i know what a good turntable can sound like when i sold my TT i owned an Oracle Delphi with Stax UA9N tonearm & Grace F9R ruby cartridge the sound was much better than cd,s back then but today i can easely live with the difference 30 years later they have come a long way.

Well said Paul !
 
I am a little too new here to welcome you back, but welcome aboard!!!

Mike runs a great place here, where everyone seems welcomed and where we can freely discuss the audio and video issues that we like. Everyone here does a great job. I have been a a few sites where they don’t.

This, at first, may sound like I am disagreeing with a major point, but I am not, I am supporting it. I think sometimes we confuse the terms “opinions’ and “preferences.” Everyone is entitled to their own preference, they are certainly equal. I like chocolate, you like vanilla. You love CDs, others may love records, that’s fine. And I like to hear why from all groups. And maybe learn something.

I really feel we get from the 1960s the notion that all “opinions” are equal. Well, my doctor’s opinion of what wrong with me is more valid than a layman’s. Of course I go to a lawyer for a legal opinion. I give much greater weight to someone who is informed, is knowledgeable or experienced in an issue. Simply, we live in an age where TV news commentators, or their guests, talk about things they really know nothing about. So I don’t give them equal weight. Of course really informed people can differ, like the ones on this site. We all can have preferences.

Personally, I have two sub-woofers BUT I NEVER USE THEM FOR PURE MUSIC!!! I only use them for home theatre.

As for the Record/CD conflict, I vote for both. I have some music that sounds perfect on a record player, others that are just as good on a CD. Since the CD is easier to use and more convenient, it is always the tie breaker. It is the music that is the most important thing to me and I can’t believe that people would argue, not discuss, over this and give you are hard time.

Welcome Aboard!!!again!
