Does vinyl really change how the record sounds?

The needle that etches the first dubplate can't cut the 90° angles of a digital waveform, so it ends up rounding off all of the peaks and edges and creating a sinusoidal, analog groove, even if the original sound was entirely digital. I was really surprised when I heard my first track on vinyl because it sounded so much warmer and more brilliant than the sounds I'd just had mastered.

+1!

Thanks for the details guys! I have Geogaddi on vinyl and never had the opportunity to play it, I don't have any turntable, but now it's time for things to change

Definitely. Vinyl has it's own distinct sound and I happen to be a big fan of it. FLACS are great and convenient too, but listening to a record is it's own distinct experience.

I'm not usually a fetishist about material objects, but there's definitely a whole ritual to getting your record out and putting it on and having the nice big album art to look through.

I'm still on the fence tho between awesome headphones or subs but I've always been a sucker for twelves...

but yeah one must master incorporating the virgin-triple-record-flip into their record draw/mount...

headphones all the way for me when it comes to vinyl

these bad boys are amazing



i would wear them everywhere but i dont want to look like i just finished dj'ing at a rave 24/7

and yes i paid $750 for headphones

more money than brains? perhaps

i really wish BoC or any band for that matter would release an album on 8 track. i know its not feasible in fact its down right stupid but after rocking some elton john and rush on the old deck today i really want BoC 8 tracks

I kind of wish they'd do a shortwave broadcast of this album.

All the best purchases are frivolous. Besides, to quote a mate of mine, '..it's f*** all in a five-year plan'

What cartridges do you guys use? I was considering buying an Audiotechnica AT95, have you ever tried it?

Nice. I just think headphones create weird ear pressure. My father in law had a wall of 12 - 12" subs in his '77(I think) caprice-impala. It used to blow your hair in a powerful wind. Windows down at high vol. or blown windows. Luv me sum twelves. He used to say there are special bass frequencies that simply cant be produced under 12". Thats why I pawned my current rig, he didn't even want it cheap. They were tens.


...and yeah u don't wanna get jacked from behind for those babies. Easy to snatch + reduced situational awareness!

I want to hear it. And I would love to hear Mike and Marcus during it, but that's prob not going to happen

I think i've decided against listening to the stream, i'd rather be away from a computer screen the first time i hear it.

I bought these bad boys in preperation for TH for only $100. Best money I ever spent. They sound fantastic!

I have my first day back to work (college semester ended, back home for the summer) tomorrow at 4:30 ... at this point I'm fully prepared to wait until the 11th when the physical copy shows up at my house. So I'm not too worried.
But with this said, I'm sure temptation will override and I'll listen to songs anyway after the fact.

Cool, though! Enjoy, everyone!

I'm a little annoyed this will be broadcast while I'm at work. I guess maybe I will just wait for the actual release.

What Rush Lp? I bet it was 2112.

Definitely a headphones junkie myself. This is how I intend to listen to the vinyl.
