Hello Vinyl Collective, There is a physical difference between an analog pressed record and a digital one. my iPhone has a big fancy camera. I can take a picture and show you.

Sarcasm dude my number 1 rule is don't hang out with people that do pcp.

Look I came across the wrong way, listen to a digital sources records. I shelled out a ton of money on Revolver. It's a digital remaster the record doesn't sound right you lose sound you're better off with mp3s. If it's analog it sounds better than both. I realize people have spent a ton of money I have spent a lot as well, but if you listen without thinking I'm wrong you'll see I'm right. That's all I've done the past year.

That's my point if you collect records you're a faggot. You spend money for that sound, not something that sounds worse that you think is cool. I don't know if half the products on the market are good. But they're cool. And you are one the douche bags I have to encounter because of this hobby.

Yea I was drunk sorry there's a lot of hipsters here who buy expensive digital records and I just assumed all of you think it's cool, but I'm sure some of you do.

Talking to myself but example In the old days the Beatles played fender amps with no distortion and cranked the volume knob until they broke up. If I play an old Beatles record my speakers physically break up, it's not distortion it doesn't affect the other instruments. The speakers just physically break up.

It might have to start analog I'm not sure. I've complicated this idea the more I've heard different records the only consistent thing is they're analog.

Studies don't really mean anything. I mean it's what a computer told you. Computer listened to the digital and the analog and computer noticed things humans can quantify but computer can't hear what we can. It sounds real, I don't think that can be measured. It's basically the way uncompressed audio was purported to be, but I notice such a small difference I use mp3s.

Yea I was thinking about this, but if you listen to analog and the timbre is more real. If it's done right. The digital masters don't sound good, I'd rather listen to a digital copy. It's something to do with how it's pressed. CDs supposedly have more dynamics, it just doesn't sound as real. Live. If it's done right and I can't figure out what it is. Umphrey's did an amazing job on the live album. But Mantis sounds like it was a digital mix that was pressed onto the record without actually recording it, that has to be the reason, if it's recorded you know the sound then it captures the stuff it can replicate and if it's just pressed it doesn't. One of their guys wrote what they did, I'm going to listen to the next one and see if it's lost the quality. I'm gonna stop spending money on these things for a while.

Vinyl has made obvious what my dad told me following the advent of mp3s. People used to get into speakers and sound and vinyl necessitates that. I get a great sound from digital but it's kuind of by accident. Both are replicated close. Vinyl pressed right has the edge through, by a good deal.

I used to believe that any recording put to digital and then put on vinyl would sound bad. I bought a copy of Umphrey's McGee class of 2011 and I'm sure the signal was digital at some point. What I think is if you record the sound onto analog it transfers the nuances. A digital copy sounds fine, I'm not bashing the digital stuff. But there is definitely a loss when digital is pressed in a certain way. Both at their peak aren't bad. They're different. Hope this made sense.

I live in Savannah, GA. It's what the nonmetro folks call the city. We have a market based economy with shops catering to consumers. When we use the interweb it's because we decide to.

So I've realized I need to raise my speakers and have them a certain distance apart to get the full experience. I don't want to spend $100 on a stand. Any ideas? They're the 201s the smaller 301s some people call them tabletop.

I rage against the establishment of poser audiophiles, currently smoking pcp and listening to what the posers call teenage wasteland.

Cool. Don't think people who prefer digital master records have much room to talk with sound quality. Digital is best digital. It can be transfered to record Umphrey's proved me wrong. I don't go around dropping $50 on a Beatles digital remaster box set. And then talking shit about Bose because I don't spend all my time looking for the coolest brand that sounds good.
