The message
from martin contains these words:

once one is over 50 one's hearing can't tell the difference between a
wax cylinder recording, a cuckoo clock and a DVD.

You speak for yourself! I can still hear all the test tones on a test
LP, some of which some youngsters I know can't hear. Mind you, they
always listen to their mus^^^^noise too on too high a volume.


Mind you, the arm and pickup I use costs the best part of one and a half
kilopounds, so it damn-well ought to!

Have a goggle at Diverse Vinyl, www.diverse-music.co.uk

I can't comment on DVDs as I haven't got a DVD player.

nor me! so I am not the last person in the world without one.

I'm liable to be getting one for the box so's I can run Visual
Basic.NET, but I have no plans for an audio one. I don't even use the
ones in my boxen for listening. No room for the speakers....
