355.0. "A matter of great importance" by POLAR::LACAILLE (YFM-350 the real Ultimate Warrior) Mon Sep 24 1990 20:55

	I am writing this note in the hope that some sanity will
	result from people reading this message and passing it on
	to others they know.

	I am talking about a tragedy. An example of head-in-the sand
	philosophy so grim it makes me shudder just to write about it.
	It rivals the fall of Rome and the rise of Sarnia in its
	infamous glory.

	I am talking about the incessant, old-fashioned, senile and
	anal retentive need to cling onto old fashioned technology.
	
	Yes, there are still people out there that cling to the
	phonogragh medium for listening to recorded music.

	Now I am not talking about people who cannot afford to go the
	CD route. I am taking about those who simply cannot look
	at improvements in recording and enjoy a better sound. These
	are the people who fought tooth and nail for the return of
	Bonanza. These are the people who still wear garters on their
	socks because their great-grandfathers did.

	Come now, even the word is old   p h o n o g r a p h. Sounds
	like a lab instrument used in ether experiments of old.

	Help me rid the world of these deviants. If they cannot be
	transformed to good digital aficionados then let us drive
	them from our midst. Send them away in their Mazda's [oops]
	I mean their generic sort of cars.

	That's all for now....

355.1Who's Sarnia bound? Pass me my coat eh?POLAR::BAYNErelax folks, enjoy the showMon Sep 24 1990 21:0612
    Well obviously I must be sane, since I have purchased a CD player 8-).
    
    Yes the image of a dog with his ear cocked to the phonograph comes to
    mind.  The phonograph was so simple it was meant to be understood _and_
    enjoyed by a dog, but we humans had to suffer until something designed
    for the human ear came to the market.
    
    And where do you suggest we send the deviants who insist in indulging
    in vinyl?  Sarnia perhaps?
    
    cheers

355.5WooferMURP::HINXMANIn danger of the mego effectWed Sep 26 1990 14:526
	Well, as usual, I'm confused.

	A dog has better hearing than a human being, so if the sound
	quality is good enough for a dog...

...um this note had somehow miss'd its origional mark.    
    
    
    
    Again I'm faced with the minds of those thinking in unilateral fashion.
    The word digital has in fact brought up notions of job security to
    those who work for this great company.Using the word DIGITAL was
    (as reference is Ienow Noschtz book 'travelling warrior')  a method 
    the Japanese were using for brain control.It started slowly using
    terms like Digital watch,digital clock and creeping into every North
    American bedroom, the digital alarm clock.Digital was created for
    narrow mindedness[sic].Either on or off.In this case it seems the 
    latter.
    Basically it is again the sickness that the white man has brought upon
    us. (or is it the yellow man?).
    The digital religion, on or off?

	re: Woofer

	Certainly a dog can hear more, but the comprehension factor
	is what is being inferred to I believe.

	You know the old saying "Fit for the dogs"

	Mr. Nasty,

	I really do think that you are one of those slummy, communist
	loving vinyl freeks. You are a burden on our society. Please
	refrain from filling this wholesome conference with your
	devient ideas.

					Thank-you and God bless,

    What the hell difference does it make since most, if not all, the music
    today has been digitally enhanced, mixed, overlayed, synthesized etc.
    
    I mean... I could just picture all you analog fanatics huddled close
    to your over priced speakers listing to "New Kids on The Block" or
    Janet Jackson.
    
    ANALOG... Your fooling yourselfs, unable to face reality, the type of
    people who play fantasy games like "Dungeons and Dragons" or that other
    game ...... ahhhhhh.. "DEC DWEEB" ... ya thats it.

    CDs are one of the world's big rip-offs. When they were introduced
    they cost dollars per disc to manufacture. Improved manufacturing
    techniques mean the production costs are now cents per disc. But
    did prices come down; not on your life. The extra money went into
    the profits of the record companies, who know a gullible market
    when they find one.

   >> What the hell difference does it make since most, if not all, the music

    more like bopped,screwed over and re-interpreted by digital engineers
    looking to make a new buck out of old music.
    
    Analog...we live analog,see analog why not hear analog.
    
    It's the right thing to do!
