Interesting commentary of the whole vinyl phenomenon from someone with some background from the looks of it: http://www.avclub.com/articles/has-the-vinyl-revival-gone-too-far,93610/
Interesting comment about sound quality: "Owning a decent turntable does not turn your ears into trembling flowers, unable to bear the bitmapped harshness of digital. It began to dawn on me—me, someone who had preached the sanctity of vinyl from my record-store pulpit for so long—that I couldn’t really tell the difference between a 7-inch and an MP3. Or rather, I could tell there was a slight difference, but it wasn’t enough to justify the huge portion of my income that I was spending on vinyl." He didn't say what this "slight difference" was - maybe the lack of surface noise :-). However, mon dieu! Sacrilege! How dare this man compare vinyl with MP3! IMO, good to see an article with a rational perspective. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98421 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
