Request for new Forum - Vinyl

[wgscott]

Dead, obsolete technology.  

 

 

There's always analogue planetoid.

We also need a forum on vinyl press power supplies.

If there is to be a vinyl forum, it is essential that the forum itself be run entirely as analogue.  This means, no computer display, but instead manual typewriters, paper, and postage stamps.  Send a self-addressed stamp envelope, and Chris, in his infinite spare time, will mimiograph the latest updates to each thread and send them out to subscribers.

We could have a Day of the Dead at Audiophile Style, where long out-of-print recordings and obsolete technology is celebrated.😊

 

Excellent idea!

I can list a few.  Many are cut from digital masters.

 

This is the real scandal.

I was going to write a heartfelt and impassioned plea on how LPs are still relevant and are what got us to where we are today.  

 

But it’s clear that on this site that would fall on deaf ears.  

 

And you know what?  It only matters to people who think it does.  And to those of us who think that way, remember this.  

 

We don’t mock your mini stereo systems with your exotic power supplies and your fancy USB cables and your endless comparisons of the same digital file in different formats and bit depths. 

 

There should be room at Audiophile Style for all of us.  If you don’t care about LPs, fine.  But don’t mock and denigrate those who do.

The first thread in a vinyl forum should be what recordings are only available on vinyl, and I have a list.

 

The second thread should be on the resurgence of the popularity of vinyl amongst generation wuss.

At Vinyl Engine, is a typical thread, "First impressions AT-VM540ML and Sumiko Rainier"  where one user is evaluating long term different cartridges. Members then discuss the merits of each cartridge and others that work with that tonearm or another. The equipment is not expensive, and there's positive discussion. There are more threads like this, take your pick.

 

No mention of:

 

Double blind testing

Expectation bias

Measurements

 

What a bliss to read, no bickering, just valuable exchange, like it should be. Make up your own mind based on what the experience of others are, and not the sh$t that goes on here, censoring comments and truly stifling people's freedom of speech. 

 

Don't let the tone-arm hit you in your groove on the way out.

You really need to lighten up a wee bit, Francis.
