# I must concur with you
on the vinyl front. It does sound better, mainly for its broadness of register. And its massiveness :D

But, I do like these new small TV screen thingys :D

# oh pish.
I'm an audio snob and love vinyl but no amount of nostalgia is going to make it sound better than a FLAC lossless digital recording from the source. I know all about how less of the waveform is captured but if there is a human being on the planet that can tell that audibly then he is an evolutionary freak.
It's much the same with geeks who talk about how many super frames per second their latest water-cooled video card can run the latest version of twat monkey 3 with full spec. Here's the deal muppets, the human eye can not register beyond 25 frames per second, that's why PAL is 50hz interleaved.

# You talking about yourself again? ;)
I do agree, modern stuff should stick with what it is.

However, the majority of what I listen to is pre1980. So, Vinyl was what it was made to be played on. For me, it said it all with the digital remaster of The Who Live at Leeds. They whacked it onto CD, spent years on it, but it had none of the quality or charm of the original.

# You've never actually tested this, have you?
Just this second loaded up a game. Capped its frame rate to 25 (75htz progressive scan monitor), and verified that it is indeed 25fps by several sources. What do I see? It's very jerky. Very very jerky. Ignoring taring it's still jerky up to 50fps, but 70fps is pretty much smooth as silk.
Easiliy varifiable.
PAL TV looks shite.

# Never tested it?
I did TV and audio electronics engineering at Salford University and regardless of your 'test' it is clinical fact that the brain can not process more than 25 frames a second which is why 50hz is used in PAL anything less you see flicker and anything higher you perceive a still picture.
You might think PAL is bad and sure there are better but you can bet your arse that NTSC is not it.

# Still picture?
How many games or TV shows involve still pictures? Try it with a moving image, in this little test it was a rotating radar dish if you must know. Honestly guv'. Try it. I'm not bullshitting you.
(Sqn, Mon 23 Feb 2009, 2:11, archived)
# what I mean by 'still picture'
is that you do not see the flicker of the frames being drawn above 25fps ( it's actually around 24 point something )
As for your test see the wiki link above as this has been industry standard knowledge since the movies started. Screen frame rates and film speeds are not chosen at random but because of this effect that we can't register the image any faster than 25fps.

# There's a difference
between being able to see a single individual frame at higher than 25fps and being unable to tell between 25 and higher frames a second. www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm
Even Wikipedia says so on the FPS article.

The wagon wheel effect is also irrelevant here.

# I love my big TV and my modern gadgets
and I also love my remnants of a vinyl collection and my old SL 1210 players. There is room for all. What there is not room for is any more content on the analogue carrier waves even after utilising the sidebands for digital through he aerial content.
You want movie channels, sport channels and fishing channels? Gotta have direct digital feed. Nothing odd about that.
What they need to sort out is the content and not give me 200 channels of stuff that was not only on 20 years ago but has been on this channel all fucking month.
