Eight track tapes

I was round a friend's house last week and we spoke for a long time about music. Funnily enough he didn't play anything. My friend has been a music fan for years. He used to have HIFI equipment everywhere. The whole house was wired up. He  was one of those enthusiasts , however, who always loved the music more than the equipment or tweaking. He never spoilt a music session by making silly adjustments.

He has moved house recently and  has simplified things so now he only ever uses a cd player. He never ceases to amaze me, so I was not surprised when he told me that he still had a working eight track tape player and loads of tapes. He also has a collection of 78 rpm records going back years and years.

After all this conversation we started talking about LP records.We both agreed that there is not much difference in the sound reproduction between a CD and an LP provided that both sets of media are played through good quality equipment. And ,of course, that both sets of media are undamaged.
