1)How much vinyl Ken? Will you have room for them all? Hope the move goes
well.

2)I feel the same as you re: the "music" biz. I don`t know if you read my
rantings a few months ago in here Quite in tune with what you are saying.
It`s about time that musicians gave some thought to cutting out the Multi
International Music producers/Recording companies, and formed an outlet,
(profit orientated nevertheless), >by musicians, >for musicians and general
release. Too many greedy executives are creaming off way too much for their
fat rear end pockets don`t you think? Some musicians try to of course. Look
at the fast moving
changes in reproduction, from cylinder to vinyl. C.D. And now we are being
told that the days of C.D. are
numbered, and we shall all have to replace our C.D. players. Great news for
the record companies who are then able to sell their complete catalogues all
over again. It >is a big con of course. The new developments keep us all
employed ready for the >next "further improvement" in sound quality. I think
the sound quality of the C.D is good. Musicians, who have quite sensitive
ears are quite satisfied on the whole. Sound
engineers/technicians on the other hand will always tell you that there is
distortion. Who`s interested in their 0.009% "distorted" point of view? The
balance engineers themselves have in their rec. studios, a small set of
domestic speakers in addition to the BIG ones they use. They >also require
to hear what the final domesticated reproduction is going to sound like.
That`s my further rant over and done with. I must have got out of bed on the
wrong side again. Must get on with these doors.
