  1. No, I like One too, that's not my point - I mean saying that the study doesn't mean anything is fairly usual point of view - ie. I haven't seen anything in your posts which is controversial - unlike say mine or Aarons.



    I was being somewhat tongue in cheek there, to rain on Sergios parade.

    So, do you mean you would have also said that being a non-native English speaker makes it hard to tell intelligence or that Sergio doesn't come across as intelligent in his posts? (i'm guessing you meant the former)


  2. Oh good. That makes the child prodigy thing more sense then.

    I say the now somewhat infamous cd vs vinyl rant was quite controversial, but I don't try to make controversial posts I just say how I feel.

    Yes, It makes it hard to tell his intelligence. I wouldn't ever say that he doesn't come across as intelligent in his posts and I wouldn't say that to anyone.


  5. I'm not a non-regular, I just don't read every discussion or post on every discussion.

    OHHHH- its the vinyl vs CD thing. OK, that is sorta funny as I was going on about lossless vs lossy some months back. Makes sense now - this is what happens when I don't come on here for a month.

    But I agree with you on that -vinyl is lower quality than CD - otherwise they wouldnt have invented the CD (or laserdisc) now would they. People think vinyl sounds better because it produces a slightly distorted 'warm' sound, much like how tube amps sound better than sterile, digital ones.

    In reality the CD actually has the more accurate representation of the source audio. The only other thing I can think of that vinyl might have over CDs is that vinyls are not as compressed as audio CDs these days which tend to suffer from clipping.

    Finally, someone with common sense!
    Thank you.

    I was listening to Prince 12" extended versions and remixes transferred by someone from vinyl to CD (because most of them are unavailable on CD) and you could hear the distortion noise all over it!
