There's a school reunion thing happening on Facebook
I know this because the few people I kept in contact with have status updates of 'going' and 'maybe', that kind of thing. I haven't been invited. This is either sad as fuck or really fucking great. [Would you go to/have you been to] a school reunion?

Alt: If you order a pizza from you local pizza place does it come with a little pot of sauce for dipping the crusts in? What sauce is best for crust dipping? Always seems to be garlic-mayo round here.

Altalt: Do you still buy CD's ?(I wont say vinyl as that'd make you either a smelly dinosaur or a cunt (or both)) What was the last one you bought?

Probably because I was and am an unpopular cunt

Same here.
To be fair though, I doubt I'd go even if I was. I kept in contact with all the people I wanted to stay in contact with, why would I want to go to a party with a bunch of people I didn't like and who didn't like me?

From what I understand, all the cool kids at school stayed together in their friendship group and all married each other and that. I think that's pretty sad, if I'm honest.

I stopped buying CDs a while ago
I'm all about the mp3s now. Oddly, I'm more likely to buy vinyl now than I was when I was buying CDs. I don't know how far I believe this "warmer" sound they're suppose dto have, given that it's all going through the same amplification and speaker equipment. I just kind of like the whole retro thing.
( Kroney Nyommy beaver anal glands nyomnyomnyom, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:33, Reply)

The whole "warmer" sound is just bullshit spouted off by cunts who think vinyl is cool.
I guarantee that a blind hearing between vinyl, CD and high quality mp3 would show no difference.
( Bazongaloid Superfly MAYDAY with a badger gonna GIT yo sucka!!!! says "GO SWANS" in that there 'stralian football, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:36, Reply)

Yep, I agree.
I also strongly believe that all this guff about cables is so much bullshit. Sure, if you spend money on better equipment you'll hear a difference, but only to a point. Like everything else, it's subject to the law of diminishing returns. The cables you use won't fucking matter as long as you buy some with some decently made connectors.
( Kroney Nyommy beaver anal glands nyomnyomnyom, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:38, Reply)

I once spent a rather large amount of money on new speaker cable with the intention of Bi-Wiring my speakers
sadly I didn't realise that the cable was so thick that I couldn't fit two lots of it into the connections on the back of my amp. So it was a bit of a waste.
( Bazongaloid Superfly MAYDAY with a badger gonna GIT yo sucka!!!! says "GO SWANS" in that there 'stralian football, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:41, Reply)

You see, I'm an enthusiast but I'm in a technical job, so I'm a bit more sceptical, I guess.
Speakers, for example, are internally wired with pretty narrow guage wire, so any savings on signal you make with big, thick cable is going to be lost inside the speaker. Also, audio doesn't require much bandwidth, so you don't need thick cable to begin with. The only place you're likely to get signal degradation is through the connectors.

There is a difference in sound
I agree that "warmth" is a fairly meaningless way of describing it though.
( tangledupinblue is your clam in a jam?, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:49, Reply)

"static-y" and "a bit less static-y"

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:51, Reply)

It's to do with compression and one of my best pals who is a sound engineer for Universal
and thus knows more about this than anyone on here ever will says it's blindingly obvious to him if he's listening to an MP3 as opposed to a record or reel-to-reel tape.
( Monty Boyce "Get the h*** out of my store", Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:48, Reply)

Ah, yeah, when a file's compressed you get data loss in the top frequency range
Tends to kill the treble. Depending on the quality of encoding, most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference, though, as a lot of it's outside the human hearing range anyway. Most consumer equipment does more damage to the signal than mere compression, so for the average person it's meaningless.

I do agree that compression would be no use whatsoever for reference quality stuff.
( Kroney Nyommy beaver anal glands nyomnyomnyom, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:53, Reply)

In the late 90s there was a trend for massive over compression of CDs
In order to try to make them louder for radio play. It tended to make everything sound a bit shit.
If you're interested in this sort of thing you should read Perfecting Sound Forever, by Greg Milner. It is surprising interesting for a subject that could easily be very dull.
( tangledupinblue is your clam in a jam?, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 10:57, Reply)

It's funny really
Because a CDs got plenty of room on it, there's no actual need to compress the files.

As for whether I'm interested in it, I often wish I'd gone into sound engineering myself.
( Kroney Nyommy beaver anal glands nyomnyomnyom, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 11:02, Reply)

That's nothing to do with comrpession to get it onto the CD
that's the mastering process where everything is compressed so every part of the sound wave is the same "loudness" and it's still going on to this day. It leads to all songs having no dynamic balance.

Unless it's losslessly compressed
in which case it'll be more or less identical.

but you need a format other than mp3 for lossless compression.

Plus, like some many things, it's entirely subjective.
The only reason some wines get great write ups from famous wine critics is because the wine makers make wines that they know the critic will like. But that doesn't mean you would like them.

I'd be far more likely to believe the word of a professional sound engineer

( Kroney Nyommy beaver anal glands nyomnyomnyom, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 11:09, Reply)

A professional sound engineer listening through professional quality equipment would have a fighting chance at differentiating between the two
but the effects of compression are completely negligible when listening through a bog standard hi-fi separates system.

Yeah, I said something similar above.
Monty did say mp3 versus vinyl/reel to reel, though. Not mp3 vs CD.

Even so, if a guy that's spent however many years listening to sound for a living says there's a difference, I'd be inclined to believe him even if I personally can't hear it.
( Kroney Nyommy beaver anal glands nyomnyomnyom, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 11:15, Reply)

Of course there is a difference, the technical specs prove that.
But the question is, can you hear that difference, and the answer is no. Unless, you are in a near perfect environment with a near perfect system. Since that situation will virtually never arise, the answer, to all intents and purposes, remains No.

I know a lecturer in acoustics,
and in his opinion, the difference in home quality cd/dvd/vinyl is so small, it's just not worth pissing about. It's only when you spend thousands, position your chair specifically, dampen the walls etc that you will notice a difference, but it all sounds a bit much effort.

I've no desire to sit in a room full of prematurely aged blokes boasting about which spec of Audi their new job allows them to have whilst their bored wives desperately scan the room looking for someone interesting to unleash five years of sexual frustration onto.

Actually, I suppose the last part could be interesting.

I imagine they appeal to two types of people:
Those you describe, who feel they have made a success of their lives and are hoping to try to impress someone; and weirdos who haven't really moved on and are hoping that the fit girl in the class has still got nice tits.

the fit girl in my history class became a nurse
an aged, deformed, wonky toothed, boggle eyed, overweight person who wipes old people's bums for cash

I met someone in the street I went to school with the other day.
I pulled his tie dead tight and gave him a nurple.
apparently that's bad form when you're 32 :(

Totally.
Like I said, I don't see the point unless you're actively chosing to be in one of those two categories.

Yes, I dont buy mp3 as I like to "have" something for my money. Last one was Pearl Jam - Light Years CD single

Everyone gets invited to mine as it's used as a fundraiser, although the specifically look for boys from creatin time periods in each one, ie 50s & 60s
alT: No, but garlic dip is obviously the best. I am going to make home made pizza this week, maybe I'll make dip as well

All the girls I fancied at school are now fatties
except one who last time I saw her, was sat down in the doorway of a pub, pissing her knickers.

I would be the boasting prick because I can only think of about 2 people in my year who have achieved more with their shitty lives than me. That said, I do come from the arse end of the world where not being on housing benefit makes you some kind of posh twat.

I wouldn't go to a school reunion, I hated school.
I've also been to about thirteen schools in total, so that's a lot of reunioning even if you don't count the primaries.

Alt: I once got a honey mustard and ginger dipping sauce which was nice.

Altalt: I don't buy music, I don't like enough of it

I just can't find enough that I like
It's all Stalinist propaganda stuff like that state dictate 'that's what makes you beautiful.' Also a little known fact, The Wanted's 'I'm glad you came' is used a torture device by the EMI in their brainwashing sessions.

Are you just sad because five pre-pubescant boys who've never known the touch of a woman
haven't told you what it is that makes you beautiful?

BTW, it's your tits.

You should get your friend Michael Gove to close them all down and turn them into academies.

I had a word with him, no problems. He said he'd throw in an extra something to spite teachers as well.

Michael Gove is a cunt with very dangerous ideas.
Loathed by the NUT. They know about teaching, he clearly doesn't.
