Re CD sound quality. They said the rubbish about records not long ago, I'm beginning to think it's all just noise so you people can hold onto your trinkets like weird musical gollums.
Won't get that shit with us Millenials, what will the argument be?
The sound quality on Spotify is just better than the propaganda being beamed straight into our brains by Supreme Leader Trump.

320 kbs MP3s is about the cut off point. Anything less and the loss of quality becomes very noticeable.
Unless you are sitting in a very quiet room listening without doing anything else a 320 kbs MP3 generally sounds pretty acceptable.
Obviously I record all my CDs as lossless FLACs and my records as 24/192 FLACs, but it is not that necessary.

If you listen to shit music the quality of the recording/streaming really doesn't matter.

It makes absolutely 0 difference if I’m listening to it on Bowers & Wilkins or playing it myself on banjo whilst falling down the stairs. It’s all about the feeling. |

Actually that’s not strictly true, I also listen to melodic death, prog death, symphonic metal, symphonic prog death, blackend progresive death and 80s pop.

Bluetooth gizmo update: it's shit. Can't believe I spent £13 on that. It is my milkman's fault, he told me about it and he is an audiophile who has in the past sourced some top hi-fi equipment from various skips along the north Fife coastline. Looks like the CD player has a reprieve.
Painter update: today he told me he is the nephew of former Aberdeen manager, and famous moustache-sporter, Jocky Scott. Top chat. I did not appreciate that I had a member of the aristocracy colouring in my walls. Tomorrow I might ask him to get me an autograph.

That has to be worth at least £60 extra and another £60 for the autograph. |

That has to be worth at least £60 extra and another £60 for the autograph. It totally is. He is also the brother in law of Shaun McSkimming, the former Kilmarnock winger who now runs a moderately successful concrete delivery business in the Dundee area. I did my best to conceal my indifference at this information. |

So James Dyson, the billionaire arch-Brexiteer, having already moved his production to Singapore, is now moving his headquarters there.
Fucking hypocrite.

The sound quality of bluetooth audio is notoriously bad, certainly not audiophile quality. What you'll want is a dedicated DAC connected to a NAS hub with lossless FLAC audio files plugged into an amp and some reference speakers. Then chuck it all in the bin and listen to it through your laptop speakers.

He's just one in a series of rich twats (including Michael Caine and Rees-Smug) who are saying how Britain will thrive leaving the EU, even without a deal, while relocating their vast wealth elsewhere. |
