Re: My greatest find of all time
So I was at my crappy gas station job today and it was time to change the garbages, and when I checked the dumpster i found out that someone was stupid enough to throw out "Eagles Live" and "Ozzy Osbourne "Bark at the moon"" vinyl records, I swiped 'em, they weren't even really scratched up, they were just a little dirty. Who throws out a vinyl record.
Speaking of vinyls, the only vinyl I own is a Milli Vanilli record.
Eagles and Osbourne?... If I had had them, I would of probably thrown them out too. Both are kinda over rated. But you go right ahead fondle your pirate's booty...
Overrated maybe, but they at least don't suck. I'd keep 'em.
I'm trying to loose the habit of taking anything I find in the dumpster home.
The world is going crazy!! You can get DVDs for fifty cents these days. The way things are progressing, I seriously doubt many people have turntables to play their records on, and you can only really find them at pawn shops and other people's attics.
the greates find of mine happened when i went into a resturant and there was a 6 mp digital camera with an mp3 and pmp player feature sitting on a table. i tried giving the camera to the person who sat at the table before me but she said it wasnt hers so now its mine. 
Turntables still produce better audio than a DVD you know. Analog >>> Digital. Now given, there is a point where it becomes worthless, but the sound is usually also "Digitally Enhanced" all to crap, and has the volume boosted to a distorted level. Usually anything on a turntable will be better in quality just for that reason.
Whenever I have heard a record playing it always sounds scratchy and full of static... although what you say does make sense....
On the other hand, most people will be unable to tell the difference between an analog recording and a digital one that takes over 10,000 samples a second.

Record players need to be taken care of beforehand so they don't get scratchy. You have to blow the dust off before *every* useage, even if you used it the day before. ALl that dust if not removed gets fused to the track surface, causing static. Also, you should try to replace the needle frequently, but I'm not sure how frequently. Eh, it's somewhere on the net, only takes a look.
Well, at 10k samples per second, some people might be telling the difference. CDs are usually something like 44.1k samples per second. It's meaningless though, as even CDs have audio compression on them. All the sounds that might be below human hearing, or above a certian range, are stripped usually, to save some space.
