np... just did a google search. You only really need to ask questions like that if you can't find something on google... (I'm not saying you didn't do that, but you know what I mean)

truthfully, it didnt occur to me to use google:eek: . but i figured, why not just ask some people who probably know what they're talking about, rather than scavange through endless web pages.

Probably know what we're talking about? The cheek!

 

Yeah, anyway, Google's "i'm feeling lucky" is magical.

I'm not sure I'm buying the story about breaking sound barriers in vinyl.

 

If I blow up a balloon, then let it go, it makes a sound also. Seems to me the bang of a broken balloon, could just be the sound of the balloon breaking, and nothing to do with sound barriers.
