It works like this. There are three groups of people A) People of normal
hearing who like vinyl and valves. B) People with defective hearing who
prefer SS. C) People with defective hearing and tourettes syndrome who
are unable to prevent themselves from making inapprorpriate comments to
the people in Group A.

Ok then.

Choose your favourite work. Get hold of the master tape. Have copies made
- using the finest technicians, equipment and materials available - to
both LP and CD.

Now set up a bet. You have to tell - without seeing, only listening, which
is the master and which is the CD.

The person with 'defective hearing' has to tell which is the master and
which the LP.

Let's make it best out of 10.

The bet? How about 10,000 quid. I'll put up that and you do the same.

Winner takes all, after expenses, naturally. Are you on?

No? I wonder why...

Wooosh.... Sorry Dave, I can't push my tongue into my cheek any
firmer than I already did ;-)

Funny how the valvies always claim it was a joke, when a reality check
is called on their egregious insults..........................

Hey, we could get Churches to make both copies, just to ensure that
you have a world-class LP..................... :-)
