Firstly: Although the maximum range of human hearing is indeed 20kHz, Ted Shab is right in saying that the brain responds differently to digital sound than to analogue. This is because we can actually sense high-pitched sounds although we cannot consciously hear them... Secondly: The point about a lot of records being produced using digital effects units is valid, but what I am saying is that if analogue technology had been advancing over the last 15 years or so then there would be decent analogue effects units. This would help sustain analogue formats, but unfortunately analogue technology has not been improved because the multi-national corporations who control the formats have been busy inventing new digital formats to wow the consumers. Thirdly: It is possible at the moment to get better quality from vinyl than it is from CD using a laser stylus. True, this is expensive, but so is all embryonic technology. If work was done on it, the price would come down.than jpojon Fourthly: [this editor is playing up] Maybe we are less digital-mad here t than you are in the US because we can still get vinyl in big stores like Towe r and HMV and Virgin. Also my Plastikman album has the sheet of tabs. I believ believe that there were 200 tabs with the first run of Sheet one. The people at my local record store opened them all up and licked them all.
