it's not that necessarily but

1) there is a difference between live sound and recorded sound

2) there is a difference between different kinds of recordings

the difference will be there if you pay attention.

if you're running your audio in your computer with a pair of desktop speakers, definitely you won't hear the sound, but if you've got a decent speakers, the difference will be evident.

i can hear the difference between cd-quality and mp3 in my car stereo-- in a big way. mp3s sound flat, "thin", and shrill when you turn up the volume.

i can also hear the difference between vinyl and cd-- not just the vinyl noise, ha ha, but it's like the vinyl sound is "thicker"; i can't explain this because the language doesn't have a huge vocabulary specific to sound, but there is a difference between vinyl and cd, on how the music "feels", unless of course the vinyl pressing is crummy and worse actually than the cd.

on the subject of vinyl i bought this beauty last week:

 

 

the record itself is this soft pink thingy beautifully tinted but i can't find pix online.

but anyway, ha ha, that has nothing to do with the sound, i just wanted to show off my new record
