BAH! TORRENTS! They hurt my eyes...Any chance getting the dummy MP3 versions transferred to something like Rapidshare or Megaupload? Frank?[/s]

I would like them transferred to wax cylinder.

I agree. There is more warmth in the overall sound. Today's technology just won't let you hear the music the way the artist intended unlike the trusty wax cylinder.

And the artwork on the cylinder case was so much better.

They were 5" you doosh.

Technically there were no 2.25" cylinders. It is a common repeated myth.

It sounds like JackT probably prefers the Standard-sized 2.1875" cylinders for their 120RPM quality as opposed to the 5" ones for the Edison Concert Phonograph which had a louder sound but was more expensive for the cylinders themselves as well as the players and did not have enough variety. There was much debate about this in 1899 similar to the VHS vs betamax debate of the 1980's. I saw a re-enactment of this debate on PBS once on pledge week. Very fascinating.

This is similar to the compression debate.

Too much compression can be heard as musical clutter; on the Arctic Monkeys' debut, the band never seems to pause to catch its breath. By maintaining constant intensity, the album flattens out the emotional peaks that usually stand out in a song. "You lose the power of the chorus, because it's not louder than the verses," Bendeth says. "You lose emotion."

The inner ear automatically compresses blasts of high volume to protect itself, so we associate compression with loudness, says Daniel Levitin, a professor of music and neuroscience at McGill University and author of This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession. Human brains have evolved to pay particular attention to loud noises, so compressed sounds initially seem more exciting. But the effect doesn't last. "The excitement in music comes from variation in rhythm, timbre, pitch and loudness," Levitin says. "If you hold one of those constant, it can seem monotonous." After a few minutes, research shows, constant loudness grows fatiguing to the brain. Though few listeners realize this consciously, many feel an urge to skip to another song.

While you're doing that why don't you see what you can do about time travel. I'd like to do my high school tennis career over again.
