Really? Tell us more Mr. Knows All!! It's one thing to be ignorant. It's another thing entirely to be ignorant and arrogant. You have no idea what you're talking about. Not that it will matter, since based on your inferiority-complex infested rant above I have little doubt that you're the type of person who would ever actually listen to somebody else and admit when you're wrong, but here goes: A digital recording actually takes snapshots of the original analog source at a particular sampling rate. In the case of a CD, it's 41000 times per second. So, a digital recording is not capturing the original sound wave in it's entirety. It is approximating it. Any sound that has fast or quick transitions such as a drumbeat or horn hit, etc. will distort, because they change too quickly to be fully captured by the sample rate. A record has a groove that essentially mirrors the original waveform of the sound, so that no information is lost at all. Also, no digital to analog conversion has to occur within your home amplifier. This makes analog vinyl records far more accurate than CD's, and that is what provides the warmth and richness of a record that simply cannot be recreated by a CD. | |

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

btw...that shit is NOT worth 500
maybe 33 cents
But not no damn 500 There's like no record worth that much unless it's some super duper rare buried record and I'll be one of like ten people to hear it or have access to it, and that mofo would have to be hot as HELL. I can't get with the ridiculous price of some of this shit and I'm amazed at the dudes that just pile this stuff up and don't even truly love all of it. | |
