The reason you have a big screen (TV?) between your speakersTV between your speakers isn’t a problem at all. You could use it to elevate heights if needed. At some setups it could bring more air to the scene and make sound more atmospheric.
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I well remember in the ‘80s when we were amazed and thrilled by CD.
Wow, no more pops and clicks and all the physical benefits.
Seems so many abandoned vinyl.
But now, with so much convenience, available content and high SQ seems even dedicated vinylholics have again abandoned vinyl and embraced digital. However, there is clearly a new resurgence in analog.
But I look at, for example, whitecamaro’s “List of amplifiers...” thread and no one seems interested in analog!
To me, it seems strange when auditioning “$100Kish gear, that vinyl doesn’t enter the picture or conversation.

@chakster Younger generation have different attitude about vinyl culture and have so much enthusiasm about it. They appreciate the nature of vinyl and don’t want to make vinyl sound like their father’s or grandfather’s CD. Some of them don’t know what is CD, because they have streaming since they are born (in the digital world).:) you definitely too optimistic about those young vinyl lovers. I did perform my research on them. The first one is my own daughter, she bought a TT for her college dorm room and another guy is neighbour high schooler. Both of them went to vinyl only because “it’s cool” they definitely don’t care about SQ and act so just because it’s trendy this days. The guy also mentioned that visual movement of platter is the main thing what’s attracting in vinyl music :)))) they also don’t give a clue what is analog vs digital. When I tried to explain the difference both of them made tired faces and tried to switch subject right away. |
@chakster Now analog is a part of this digital world and stronger than ever compared to 90’s. I see enough interest for vinyl around me in my town and worldwide. Quite plz... :) if you’ll keep sharing this secret good people will suffer... we already struggling getting good NOS presses of LPs. The thing just getting more and more expensive. https://www.riaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Mid-Year-2020-RIAA-Revenue-Statistics.pdf |
@chakster unfortunately, when it’s based on trend but not on the true meaning it will not last long..trends are more important for youngsters than true meanings...all of them was on Facebook first and look what happened now... all switched to Instagram then to tiktok :) I’m not saying that Facebook is real meaning... just an example how trendy youngsters are. |
@chakster (glass) is pure evil for room acoustic and must be covered if possible by absorbers or diffusers.You missing the whole point. Acoustic reflection process is pure physics and implementation of it into the listening room setup, where the goal is full Spectrum music SQ (some time customised depends on genre or personal preference), is balanced process and not always dogmatic but compromised. Some flows of sound Spectrum you want to be reflected other not, that why all those room acoustic analysis services are silly. If you just try to break your sound flow with diffusers and rugged walls to as smallest particles you can, you wrong cause you will get nothing but dull woolly sound. Check it out how glass or sleek surface could be implemented- https://youtube.com/watch?v=f5tS2ikuuro&feature=share |
@xenolith 1200 vinyl albums!??... you lucky man.. since 80’s I collected only half of this plus last summer my old man gave me his life long LPs collection (about 200 albums) most of it in pretty dirty condition. When I have time I clean them album by album and spin them. Some r ok and some are really jewels. : ) I’ve got my LP of Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here also at Tower Records at NYC4th & Broadway in 1995 and the price was some where about $3.. |
@xenolith ok, most of you guys here will be shocked..... the term “Bone Record” belongs to bootleg lines of records born in Soviet Union late 50’s and those records was copied from original LPs which was not available at all to vinyl sheets of used X-ray images that’s why they was called Bone. Check it out- https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/29/bone-music-soviet-bootleg-records-pressed-on-xrays https://www.amusingplanet.com/2019/02/bone-records-soviet-era-bootlegged.html?m=1 |
@chakster Looks like you done full investigation on me... :)))))))))) quit it plz cause personalisation of discussion is first sign of lack of arguments. ”strange” is term which pretty subjective isn’t it!? Yah, you right, I don’t like to be bounded and narrowed by exclusiveness of analog sect only :))))) and I have both concepts in my main system, however I can implement analog or digital truck of my main system totally independently except amplification end which is analog. I’ll tell you more, I have second system in my basement which is low wattage high efficiency full analog... oh...and I’ll tell you even more, I have third system in my tools room which is, I repent, fully digital :)))) People who listen to digital should think twice before they post something for those who listen to a pure analog source only. Digital processing is death for analog signal.That type of statements r pretty authoritarian:))) stylistically it’s not far from soviet era slogans or speeches of diplomats from totalitarian countries at UN :)))) ...seriously man, it’s won’t have any effect here. |
