its fuckin raining, my balls its and they have swollen to the size of ferterlizer enhanced tangerines with a sour yet palletable taste btw any one know what company makes good record players for LPs?
Technics players are good for DJ's - very robust. For HI-Fi though, I'd recommend something else. I use Rega Planar 3 myself. Depends on your use
just for playing music, no DJ stuff. im looking for something high quality sound reproduction and reliable.
what cant i listen to records? i just have some records sitting around that i wanna listen too but dont have a record player. i just wanna get a good record player thats all
Yeah, if yer just lookin for one to listen to records on then a P3 is a very nice deck. Also fairly easy to tweak em out to get an even better sound from em. Plus they just look cool... And seriously, what's wrong with records? On a good turntable they sound a helluva lot better than cd's...
Let me expand on that... Natural sound is analog. CD's are a digital recording of this analog sound, and in the recording process some of the sound information is lost. This gives the recording a "mechanical" sound. A record player which plays LP’s is strictly analog. A vinyl record has a groove carved into it that mirrors the original sound's waveform. The record player than transforms this groove to an analogue sound signal which can be fed into an amplifier. In this process, no information can be lost. So if you truly love music, the question isn't "why the hell are you listening to records?" the question is... why the hell aren't you listening to records? Vinyl > CD's as far as sound quality is concerned.
I'm not convinced there's a noticable difference. Like, if you sat in a room and couldn't see what the music was being played on. But, Fred, you sound a lot more informed than I, so I'll gladly bow to your point. I do I have all the TOOL albums on record, but I've never put them to the needle.
Check out The Turntable Factory. The site looks like shit and the guy that runs it looks like he belongs in the 70's, but there's some great info.
I bet if someone sat you in a room and played the same song, once on CD and once on vinyl, you'd notice the difference. And to be honest, the sound information that gets lost with digital recording is in the nearly inaudible range, but here's the thing about that. They've done studies with those frequencies and whether you actually "hear" them or not... your brain reacts to them. It's part of the reason some people will tell you that vinyl has a "warmer" sound. Also, they are coming out with much better digital audio. SACD's and DVD-A's are approaching, if not equal to, what they've been doin with vinyl for decades. Really depends on who ya ask. I'm just a freak for vinyl...
I listen strictly to records, I have maybe 8 CDs, and have a massive vinyl collection, Fred is 100% correct, if you have a good ear and appreciate music the difference is noticable. I've been collectin vinyl for about 13 years now, I could live the next 5 years of my life work free comfortably if I sold the collection, and moving would be a hell of a lot easier too. But I'm addicted. And I'm on my girlfirends labtop and this thing is a piece of shit, it keeps skipping the cursor to other parts of my post, and it posted twice for me on the other thread, I hate this thing and its tiny ass keyboard. Oh yea, a new gf too! I'm happy as a pig in shit, so she will probably crush me in about a month and I'll be a miserable drunk again. Either way I'm happy! :wink:
