Vinyl Record Revival

[27talla]

Nevermind the Bollocks is crap on CD/digital...LP only way to listen to Anarchy...only way-cranked to 10 :)

[EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

vinyl is best!!! cd killed its selfoff by bein made suseptable to pirating

[burntvalve86]

Vinyl all the way

[anddz]

Thanks For Showing This to us all, who love our Vinyl records and i for one cannot be happier Vinyl is making a comeback. I have never bought a cd because i dont like the sound i like the mellow sound of vinyl and lets hope its here to stay for many many years to come.

Anyone watching this and is sceptical of the vinyl record ask yourself why has the vinyl record survived and maybe try some and own your own vinyl music and collect it for your generations to come.

[mikeinportsri]

I dont think vinyl is going anywhere soon. Records were the first way of listening to music now printed on vinyl. Music has been put on various tape, cd and now you can down load it for free. But there are collectors out there like my self that keep the vinyl alive. To all vinyl collectors be good and keep collecting.

[confetto]

Nice descriptions, but just a series of monochrome still shots is disappointing. Let's see moving video of what's making all the noises. Let's see it actually happening. Still, I'm glad to see that vinyl is still alive. I cut masters, myself and love the physical aspects of records. It's an art.

i just bought a turntable 2 month ago - and i love this machine and the warm sound of the vinyl... (check out my videos ;-)

[carlosmante]

it is the same with women.

How can you love a woman you never touch? Digital is too "inmaterial" , vinyl records let you connect in a more Physical sense with the "music", you can see the covers , also new records have a special smell, like the special smeel of new books. I like to read books but I never read "digital" books.

Long live VINYL!

Death to digital DJING!

[Mortison77577]

No, digital is much better than vinyl. Vinyl is only better in specific cases and because it comes with artwork.

[SummerBreeze2009]

I love a British accent! :D

[mikeb1444]

Records are better. They relate the user to the material, rather than simply hitting play. Plus the quality is better, I've played CD back to back against the same thing of vinyl and vinyl has more punch to it. Now if my Technics would just come in the mail some time soon.

[LeodimeII]

I want one of those. Such a great, solid turntable. But I'm 15 and don't have a job, so I'll have to settle on an AT-PL120.

[mikeb1444]

Looking back at at my old comment, I have a conclusion on vinyl vs. digital. I am getting higher frequency response out of vinyl. The surface noise of vinyl is present, but it gets drowned out by the music.

[malawri67]

Technics are the best.I have a slq-200 quartz-direct drive.The low end from thechnics,yet better than most.Anti skating arm,never skips or hicup.Affordable,I found mine used in classifieds.

[Mortison77577]

mikeb144:

No records aren't better overall, it's just that they can sometimes sound better in some situations. Overall digital is better.

[battlestarvfx]

@Mortison77577 This isn't always about "sound" ok...? This is about how vinyl kept music from getting out of hand like it has once again with endless crap out there. Vinyl is a head check. Are you really committed to your music? Then press some vinyl and play it.

[Mortison77577]

@battlestarvfx

I guess you're saying it's tougher to copy vinyl. But other than that, the only real advantage of vinyl has better artwork.

[mikeb1444]

@Mortison77577

Yeah. I have to say digital is better in some situations. It's more capable of dynamic range, which is the theoretical re-creation of a sound. but it all goes into sample rates. At a 40KHz sample rate, doesn't that make a 20khz sound a triangle wave approximation though?

[Mortison77577]

@mikeb1444

As far as I know, the 44.1 K Hz sample rate reproduces all the frequencies up to 22,050 Hz and almost nobody can hear anything higher than 20,000 Hz, so CD has all the frequencies you need and although the data is "boxy" or discontinuous, the waveforms are just as smooth as what you get with vinyl because the digital to analogue converter produces smooth waveforms based on the non-smooth digital information. I'm not completely sure though.

[mikeb1444]

@Mortison77577

Yeah, you have the purpose of a DAC too, good point. I'd like to see how they decided that you can't hear much more than 20 KHz. If someone could prove this using chemistry bond enthalpy and physics, I'll rest my case. If you go by stylus diameter and record surface distance travelled, I'm shure you go up to very high points on part of the record.

[Mortison77577]

@mikeb1444

I think there's two ways they figured out that almost nobody can hear any sound higher than 20,000 hz. One is they've played tones higher than that frequency for people and they can never detect them, although they know that the sound waves at that frequency are being produced by the speaker. In addition, they may have physiological evidence that the ear simply doesn't respond to frequencies that high. I don't know what bond enthalpy is.

[mikeb1444]

@Mortison77577

I've wondered about playing sounds for people. I know people that don't think sounds and tones are the same thing. I tried this on a buddy of mine, and he says that 80hz bass is more bassy than 18 hz through my headphones. Mond enthalpy is the bare chemical ability of your body's materials to do anything. That's why I'd rather have that instead of people's opinion.

You can totally tell John Lydon of the Sex Pistols is the narrator of this vid.

Vinyl kills the CD!

[sgtpepper1138]

cd/mp3 is good for portability, but vinyl sounds amazing, and there's something about taking it out of the sleeve and putting the needle on the groove.

my mom bought me the 180 gram Dark Side of the Moon, and I was listening to it and I heard stuff that I never heard on the MP3 or CD

[PoshMurder]

I agree.

I just got a Pro-Ject Debut III last week, bought a few records and the quality is amazing.

And taking it out of the sleeve, just awesome. Changing the speed by moving the drive belt will never get old, it's just so much fun to do.

[Mortison77577]

@sgtpepper1138

Here's how to make a CD sound exactly like vinyl: pass the output of the turntable though a filter that removes all the frequencies higher than 22,050 hz, record the output with 44.1/16 digital, burn that to a CD and then play the CD. The CD will sound exactly the same as the vinyl.

[nkbigdaddy]

@sgtpepper1138 its gr8 because you hear all the little pieces of dust and stuff i just got a new record player and have like 400 other records its amazing

[hamstermanvideo]

thanks for a nice video.
