Vinyl Record Revival

Visit EMI's former vinyl record pressing facility in West London, now known as PortalSpace Records, explains how there is a resurgence in vinyl sales.

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

Vinyl kills the CD!

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

@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

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

[burntvalve86]

Vinyl all the way

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.

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.

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.

@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.

@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.

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.
