>>51907609
Analog is great except for the fact that nearly all records are captured and edited with computers and therefore vinyls that use digital music as they source are combining flaws of both, digital and analog, media into one.
Analog may sound better to some, but not due to its technical superiority but audible inaccuracy in the sound reproduction

Hipsterism.
As in, an attempt to capture some long-lost sense of "authenticity" in this world of ubiquitous computers interfaces and free floating, intangible, digital content.
It's a fetish. They want the ritual, the whole thing. Ideally, flipping through records in a crate. Pulling the vinyl out of the dust cover and flashy, decorated sleeve. Blowing off any dust. Maybe putting it on the turntable and using a cleaning tool. Then spinning it up and gently dropping the well-weighted arm down. That satisfying 'pop' as the needle finds the groove.
What I can't figure out is all the 96kHz rips of vinyl on TPB that are absolutely *full* of pops from shitty, dusty, careless handling. I don't get it.
I think kids these days just want a degraded experience to feel real like their parents/grandparents.
>>51909212

>Muh more analog signals
As if anyone could hear it with the crackling-sound inbetween.
Personally I like a LITTLE bit of imperfection. It's why I prefer acoustic tracks to over produced shit.
I'm tired of everything being perfect, it makes it feel less real.
>>51907579
first of all it's collectible. I can leave my LP's and my whole system to my grandchildren.
second of all it's a luxury hobby. it needs your attention to details all the time and you have to have some taste in music to find good albums and add to your collection.
nowadays FLAC > DAC > AMP > SPEAKERS are the easiest and fastest way to collect and listen to quality music but again you can't find everything in FLAC and some LP collections are worth really high because they have very rare pieces in them.
third of all is because it's a hobby and peoples' preference. Just like an artist who prefers Film to Digital or pen and paper to digital.
desu you have to pay a price to be able to hear quality audio at home anyway. so it's not cheap but alternatives are also not cheap when you consider.
>>51907579
they arent. technics has replaced sl 1200/1210s though after discontinuing them. u r a dunce, tho.
>>51907579
alot of u guys r dumb. the mAin factor that makes vinyl sound better is that it is less compressed and more dynamic. less limiting on the signal means more detail and iver all a more engaging sound. cd is mastered so fucking hard. go compare sound waves, its no suprised real hiphop drims are lifted from vinyl, the dynmaics make instruments Snap, and cd mastering is filthy by comparison and destroys dynamic range.

my point was in the end it's just a source and preference. it isn't a big deal depending on the person.
today most people use and like the shitty youtube audio quality and todays mixing preference doesn't have the broad dynamic range as the vinyl era. today everything is louder thanks(!) to compression.
I prefer to listen the better/broader dynamic range versions every time myself. the truth is it can be done on any source. But producers just prefer unnecessarily compressed versions because most people (who don't understand shit about music) would like to hear louder versions. it's like most hollywood movies with full of unnecessary FX.
it's like when they added unnecessary creatures and effects to the BR version of StarWars.
or designed shitty 3D ORCs on Hobbit movies instead of costumes and make up like in the LoTR movies.
we live in the twilight fans era, the age of ignorance, the age of tasteless people who has some money in their pocket. producers just want the money no matter what.

Anyone who says they sound better is literally retarded though. I use them for an irrational hatred of digital shit.
Because of marketing.
People expect to pay less for (and will pirate) digital files, as they are essentially free to produce.
Music discs though are a tangible object that costs at least materials. The markup you can get away with is much larger as a result.
>>51907579
I still buy VCR tapes but that's because I enjoy the kind of shitty aesthetic and it gives me a nostalgic feeling I enjoy.

You also own the product. It exist in your possession. it's not a file you rent on a license.
I bought a cassette of an Kadavar album that i like.
Had an old Walkman in my drawer and was curious about the sound.
It is different to the mp3 and not perfect but i like it and listen to it a lot.
It has to suit the music i guess and can deliver an irrational appreciation.

it's an approximation. even though theoretically a signal sampled at 44100 hz should be hard to distinguish, vinyl does sound 'smoother'. you can never replicate a continuous signal in discrete steps.
plus putting on a record and listening to the entirety of it is much more relaxing than spotifying and skipping songs all over. and it's kind of cool that the musical frequencies are actually physically etched into a disc

>>51912203
CD-quality audio has a much higher sample rate and bit depth than these pictures suggest and I highly doubt that the highest quality vinyl setup would sound higher-fidelity than an equivalent digital setup. Digital audio is also resistant to deterioration and much easier to store and replicate.
The "vinyl is more hi-fi" argument is an ad hoc argument used to legitimize nostalgia.

It's subjective really, vinyl adds a slight coloration to the sound, what people usually refer to as "warmer sound".
To everyone saying that vinyl has higher sound quality than CDs, that is false and proven by science. The CD format itself encompasses the whole human hearing spectrum. Vinyl doesn't. The noise floor for vinyl is much higher than for CD, thus the dynamic range is severely limited in comparison. Nor can vinyl reproduce the frequencies you can get from CDs. As a format CD is superior in every way to vinyl. E only thing vinyl might have going for it is its characteristics which some might like, and the mixing is different, perhaps not as compressed. Everything else is false. Google it.
I recently gave the guitarist in my band a bunch of old vinyls I had lying around. He's happy thinking old stuff is inherently better so whatever.

>>51912261
>CD-quality audio has a much higher sample rate and bit depth than these pictures suggest
That picture has 16 steps, which corresponds to the 16-bit sample size as used by cd audio.
I think you mean studio equipment, which can use 24bit or even 32bit, and it can possible sound better (and by that I mean you can hear the difference) - mostly in having a higher dynamic range. Of course, you need to listen to something that has high dynamic range to notice that, not crap always-maxed-volume dubstep.

>>51915858
Einstein was right. Something can't just be probabilistic, something must afford it the ability to behave that way. If not something we can see, then the underlying machinery driving the universe itself. Same goes for entanglement. It can't just do it, something must provide the ability to do what it does.
We might never gain access to this. It might be forever hidden from our sight beyond barriers we can't subdivide further. And the arguments will continue.
I hope it doesn't play out like that. And I hope something reconciles all this many worlds nonsense soon as well. So much hangs on figuring out what "time", "speed", and "motion" really is.
>>51915924
>Einstein was right.
Except he wasn't. Local hidden variables was proven wrong by Bell's Inequality. Reality is probabilistic; get over it.

>>51916004
>What about what I said suggested local hidden variables?
You said "Einstein was right" and he spent his whole life arguing for local hidden variables.
>Actuality is probably deterministic.
There's no evidence to support that literally everything is deterministic. Assuming determinism over randomness violates Occam's Razor.
>>51916035
>There's no evidence to support that literally everything is deterministic.
There is no evidence to conclusively prove that anything is probabilistic by nature.
Occam's razor is a heuristic, not a law to rigidly stick to. When you live in a universe where most things, regardless of scale, appear to be causal, controllable, and display logically predictable behaviors, it suggests there is some underlying feature of the universe not yet seen which is generating what we're seeing on our scale.
Entanglement. Can't predict it, yet, but you still know exactly what is going to, and seemingly needs to, happen. And it does. Double slit experiment? Again, unintuitive but predictable. There are even laws that accurately describe how something is going to be probabilistic. And yet you seriously think it makes sense to argue something is by nature, just random? That's it? It's completely nonsensical. Everything suggests there is more to it.
It seems the difference here is you're satisfied with "it appears this way, therefore, it is this way and that's it." I'm not. I think it's ridiculous and myopic. But really, up to you. Neither of us actually knows, and we'll always disagree about who's assumptions are most valid and who is controlling for error more reasonably.

This is a misrepresentation of what happens. I don't know 100% of the maths behind fourier series and transforms, etc but essentially that graph isn't showing what's going on.

I doubt a private tracker will be useful since I can't imagine anyone buying these records that were produced on a small scale (<10k?) 40 years ago that knows what a private tracker is.
I like listening to accordion music if you want me to be specific. And some of the most famous artists often have no more than couple of songs on spotify from a mix-cd and a handful of songs on youtube uploaded from enthusiasts that have personally recorded the vinyl playing using some device.

If you simply a system enough and control for certain variables, sure.
>And yet you seriously think it makes sense to argue something is by nature, just random?
But there are plenty of processes in nature that are stochastic. Sure nothing is probably purely random with no bias towards a certain outcome, but there are a bunch of systems that are inherently probabilistic even if you ignore QM.
>It seems the difference here is you're satisfied with "it appears this way, therefore, it is this way and that's it."
That's really the only sensible way to think unless you find something concrete or wrong with the theory.
>>51909212
I personally don't give a fuck about authenticity, I feel like if I'm going to pay money for an album that I really enjoy and want to have around for a long time, I'd rather be getting a nice, giant, frameable piece of artwork with some nice inserts instead of a shitty disposable jewel case that will languish on a shelf.
But the ritual part is cool too, I like my old stereo, and fuck it's even faster for me to load it with a record than it is to pop in a CD to my player and wait for it to spin up while mashing play over and over again.
>>51909441
>all these buzzwords
As a record collector, I really enjoy the novelty of it. I still have a large (5TB) collection of FLACs on my workstation that I listen to while I program.
When I'm feeling a certain way, I like to throw on a vinyl and listen to it. Sometimes, when depression is hurting me, I throw on a Nine Inch Nails record or Radiohead and just lay in bed.
If I want all my friends to hear something, I can throw on the vinyl of it instead of having to show my autism by loading up cmus and going through my library and picking the song.
It's just a fun delivery platform that sounds good as well.

They are introduced at virtually every stage of production, from cutting the lacquer to the pressing to the playback itself. Some pops and ticks are pressed into the record itself.
>Some pops and ticks result from static discharges during playback. However, this may be mitigated by the use of topical treatments on the record.
Because of the lack of evidence for a tick-free record and the engineering factors making such a record extremely rare, it is quite likely that no record exists that is truly free from all pops and ticks, but in all fairness, the vast majority of new, and well maintained records will play with very few ticks or pops.

>vinyl fags go through all these trouble to get an inferior experience
With a CD, literally all you have to do is rip it once and throw it in a closet somewhere and it'll last forever.

This whole thread is about the placebo of vinyl and you post an article about placebo pops and clicks that you can't hear. Of course. A 3 micron grain of dust will make a record "click" will you hear it. No.
I don't personally do the vinyl thing, but a friend has a pretty nice setup and even my untrained ear can hear the difference. On shitty headphones and speakers, it all sounds the same, but he runs his shit through some 3 way studio monitors, and it is instantly apparent which recording is vinyl and which isn't.

This guy probably rips his CD's in 128k MP3s.

I play several mediums but vinyl was what I began with.
