Carbon frames - just lighter or more comfortable?

There's confusion too between the HDMI 'standards' and HDMI cables. A 1.3 cable for example supports all the features of 1.4 HDMI with the exception of Ethernet down the wire which most people don't need. But a shop will be happy to tell you that you need their £100 1.4 spec cable to get 3D (part of the HDMI 1.4 'standard', but probably works fine even on 1.2).

ouch! What did you make me do that for?!!
OK maybe "better" was the wrong word. CDs have more clarity and there is no fuzzy pops etc. but vinyl sounds nicer. I like the warm, smooth sound it produces. Although that might because every time I heard a record player it was playing some smooth Jazz which suits that tonal balance? (do you think my elder male cousin was trying to seduce me?
) Maybe if I heard something more upbeat I wouldn't have been so impressed. 0 -

as demonstrated in your post? there is only "standard" & "high speed" these days (either with or without ethernet). 3d mandates a high speed.
oh, and the automotive cable, which has a different plug and can't do ethernet.
I have loads more useless facts about hdmi if you're having trouble getting to sleep...0 -

I love a thread that goes off at a tangent!
I should have said I was asking about a carbon or alloy version of the same frame, such as a spesh camber or epic.
Wonder where this thread will go now?0 -
Read the bit on the new treks in the MTB s tion on here. Explains it.

Just wait until Di2 style stuff takes off with MTB and we'll be discussing the qualities of various bits of electrical wire for our bikes and how mud effects the flow of electrons to the mech. Maybe they can make HDMI cables for it, powers the mech, supplies you with MP3s and networks up the smartphone so Strava can see what gear you're in and what music you're listening to while you thrash those segments.0

Sadly, Endomondo already knows what music you're listening to :shock:deadkenny wrote:Just wait until Di2 style stuff takes off with MTB and we'll be discussing the qualities of various bits of electrical wire for our bikes and how mud effects the flow of electrons to the mech.

Except you can, since the signal to noise on vinyl is atrocious, and it's very intolerant of a nice wide stereo image, particularly in the lower frequencies. So, masters for vinyl were compressed to hell and back - almost as much as modern music in fact.0
