Why do you listen to records?
Do you listen to records for the SQ, or do you just prefer to listen to music through this medium?
I find myself putting records on occasionally, ( I have a large collection) but I’m not sure if it’s because of their sound. I certainly have the availability of millions of songs or compositions to listen to by streaming, and the sound quality is just abut the same, and, of course, the variety is endless.
So why listen to records?
Just to stir things up: how can a 100+ year old technology not be inferior to a constantly evolving one? The magic of vinyl is that it STILL sounds great. Most people can't hear the difference. Some of us like the way vinyl sounds better than digital. The thought of an awkward to handle physical medium in this weird AI world is just so comforting, I can't see anything cooler, more "normal".... |
Vinyl sound better if all parameters are here together in my room/system... But digital may sound as good if all parameters are here together in my room/system... If we listen some people with TOP system analogical as well as digital, (mike lavigne for example) who prefer vinyl and tapes we can believe them. I believe him completely... But none of this people bash digital well done... Then this debate is useless... I will not go from my 1000 bucks digital system who sound very good to a vinyl very costlier one to decide the truth "once for all" as some here fanatically vouch for... |
@newton_john maybe at a rate of 1:1000 compared to digital |
Perhaps you could pull out a couple of straws from your speaker port and give that tonearm and needle a good wacking, might fix it. You may even look like some new age new wave DJ of sorts (wacking..the new scratching), as you wack away.
