a Cramps 7" and revel in the LoFi of it all.

I just recently got a 7" RCA that was released in the 50's and it is not so LoFi. It has me thinking that those 45s are better than the re-re-released Lps that came later.

An improvement on an already recognizable sound is easier for me to aquire than a totally new sound. Going from MM to MC, or going from the DL-160 to the DL-103. Those kinds of changes put me back on my heels. It takes a re-adjusting.

A small improvement like a new ball bearing, mat change makes for a change that is more understandable from a shorter orientation.

Vast changes are vast. But I still kind of know what the differences are and can identify them. The difference cannot be vast and subtle at the same time, given that subtle changes can deliver vast appreciation. The difference should be identifiable first, then appreciated second ... or all at once ...

For instance the difference between the Cornet and your old phone pre was manifest. A change to old pre made the change less so. All identifiable I am sure. ;-)

Upgraditis: It's agood thing I'm lazy. It lets me appreciate what I have because I am so slow to move on. [partially true]
