did you ever think that maybe records create their own sort of reverb. when you play vinyl the sounds doesn't come out of the speakers instantaneously after the groove hits the needle. it may seem so but i'm sure it takes a billionth of a second or so for the sound to come out. when the sound comes out of the speakers it creates the same kind of frequencies and vibrations that the vinyl did a billionth (or whatever) of a second earlier. the vibes and freqs from the speakers (if they are good enough [mind you this whole thing probably doesn't work if you just have the headphones on]) ought to be able to grind themselves into the vinyl using the stylus itself, so there would be a "sound of the sound after the sound" you know what i'm sayin'. its like an artificial reverb. perhaps if you had some BIG speakers right up next to the stylus then you could create reverb good enough to set off a domino or (i'm not sure if this is the right term for this but) a fractal effect where each delay would creat the next until they were to hard to hear. if any of this was true you probably wouldn't even be able to hear it (so this whole paragraph has no point). well i don't know // maybe if you played the record enough time and the original track got worn down to where you could here it, but that could take a long time. «®ôл ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
