Speaking of vinyl, here's a groove on a vinyl magnified by 1000x:

that explains why the sound is so shitty…

LOL man you are the best!!! 😀

that explains why the sound is so shitty…

vinyl has better sound quality than CD and MP3 at any bitrate.  ;D

i've never understood how that's possible.

Did someone say techno?!

I did!

it's no news Tyler, of course analog wave will sound better than it's equivalent in any digital format but in reality that quality doesn't last forever esp. if you play your records over and over and over  🙂

i've never understood how that's possible.

because analog format represents continuous sound wave (line) while in digital format that wave is represented by points (hence sample bitrate – more samples better quality)

great summery…

i see, very good explanation. But how quickly does the physical degradation of the analog media make the audio inferior to its digital counterpart?

I've heard it takes several hundred plays for this to happen.

and/or 1 scratch

also enviromental conditions. warped records are fun!!!

where did you hear this from Kevin? how many is several: 300 or 1500? maybe you could provide some scientific research to back it up?  😀 (joking)

also, don't forget there are more factors involved in maintaining healthy record: proper handling, cleaning, type and alignment of needles and styluses, heat/sun exposure… those things that partially made me choose digital format over analog

[soospicy]

do you have any idea how many records i would have if all the music on my computer was on vinyl??

I've seen people say it can be anywhere from 500-1000 plays before they notice.
