[Tradjazz] Vitamin C then Sound

[Stephen G Barbone]

Hey McN:

I'm with you on Vitamin C. Just caught a cold which manifested itself  
via a sore throat about 1 AM Friday morning after a Thursday night  
gig. Immediately started my "Airborne" pill regimen before going to  
bed. By Sunday, the cold was past it's peak and by Monday was well on  
the way to being over. Now all I have is a little stuffiness left.  
That's it. The Airborne Pills are about 1000 units of "C" plus some  
other stuff and work well for me, taken 4 times a day, immediately  
after the first cold symptom appears.

I get less colds these days too, but then, I wash my hands a lot more  
after going to public places, movies, shopping etc. I have become a  
believer that most cold germs are transmitted via the hands.

CDs also work well for me. However, if you buy the same recording, one  
on CD and one on those new Vinyls, you can readily hear the difference  
if you have a state of the art sound system playing it back. The  
reason most of us, including me, don't care much about the difference  
is that neither our ears are that good, nor are our sound systems  
(e.g. car audio) that good. Other factors are that vinyl degrades more  
rapidly than CDs, CDs are much easier to handle, etc.,. etc.

I'm not suggesting anyone switch back. Only answering your technical  
question. I suspect only about 1% of the listeners, if that, ever  
really hear the difference.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
