I am probably a complete old git, but well recorded vinyl played on a decent turntable through a valve amp, really does show how bad downloaded digital really is.

There's an old thread somewhere in DT that could only be described as hi-fi !!!!!!.

Are you sure they were sent from Jersey? Books are zero rated for VAT (i.e. they are VATable but the rate is 0%) so I'd be surprised they were sent that way. Amazon send its books within the UK I believe - i've had some in a couple of days, even on the free delivery.

this was from play.com

Vinyl truly is a thing of unparralelled beauty.

Until you move house.

I moved with around 500 lps and even a couple of boxes of singles and yep, they weigh a ton! I had big plastic crates to put them in and that added to the weight. Furthermore, I refused to risk them in the removal van proper (having "lost" a whole box with gig programmes and other souvenirs in a previous move) and moved them with a friend in a further hired box van:).

Is it about what sort of files you download though? I'm not much up on downloading, but a friend did download a few bits and bobs from his hard drive to my computer a few weeks back and there were various download formats and the one he used used up more space, but downloaded a better standard of reproduction.
