Question

Vinyl records are back as a format. Stores carry them. Record players
are back.....?
Will vinyl records become the dominant format again and replace CDs
and MP3s? I thought technology was going forward, not backward. It
seems that people want to return to older technologies.

 

The local Chevy dealer has a first year Suburban sitting on the
pedestal, out in front of his lot in Carlsbad. It is for sale.

Car lots DO sell used cars. Even old ones. Get a clue, or get relegated
as yet another Usenet retard.

 

No.

What I really love is the vinyl cult who constantly preach about how
much warmer and natural the sound is than digital, and then rip their
LPs and proudly upload them to torrent sites, as if it's something special.

When they rip them, they're converting them to digital, but not using a
multi million dollar studio and the original source material that the CD
producers use.

So instead of that "warm, natural" sound, you're getting snap, crackle
and pop on digital from an inferior source.

 

Will vinyl records replace CDs? I listen to audiobooks on CD and I
don't want to switch to vinyl. How much of the market will vinyl
records capture?

 

Are vinyl records replacing Cds?

 

Archie - your anger has led you to babble utter nonsense here. What
does a classic car (the Model A) versus a plain older vehicle (the
Suburban) have in relation to a modern automobile that is comparable
when looking at vinyl LPs against digital recording sources like CDs
and MP3s?

 

Reminds me of the illegitimate Rice Krispy that had snap, crackle, but
no pop. Darn - that must date me!

 

That all may be true, but I was just pointing out the hypocrisy that I
find so amusing.

 

With current sample rates and lossless compression, I would be willing
to bet that their original contention, which was made at the advent of
the lowly CD and its pathetic sample rate, no longer exists.

Modern "remastered" classics sound better (some). Modern amplifiers
push electrons into your speakers better than back then.

So they are wrong. So are the dopes that claim tube amps are better.

Trust me, some of the source masters are analog tape, so you may not
want every nuance contained therein. Some processing has to be
performed. It just doesn't have to take place in the form of the final
product delivery format. Albums are old hat. Period.

Any anomalous inclusions on a disc's data stream are also on the master
source that it was made from.

Had they not been acting so blind, even back then, they would have noted
that even the original DDD type discs put their claims to bed, and the
DDA album pressing compared to the DDD CD proved it... even way back
then.

On an album like "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway", the album sounded
better on some tracks, but the CDs sound better on most. There are a
couple tracks where the source master tape his was included on what was
supposed to be a soft passage.

But you old analog (i.e. albums, and tube amps) guys have to get past
this stupid false claim of "better sounding" audio. The final transducers
(your speakers) are ALL analog, so what drives them shouldn't matter.

You guys need to give it up.

 

The statement was "a first year suburban", you retard.

It is not surprising that you do not know what that is.

 

First intelligent, contributory post I think I have ever seen you make.
Congratulations.

 

Minimal. Niche at best.

Most folk today have already sacrificed sound quality for convenience.
MP3 is already taking over from CDs and the comparison in sound quality
is pretty dramatic. Mini stereo systems and MP3 players have dumbed
down the sound quality accepted by the masses.

 

The Suburban is an over 40 year old model. A few more years and it too
qualifies as an antique.

What it proved, idiot, is that car dealers DO put old classic cars on
their lots for sale.

You have to be a total retard to have missed the point of the remark.

 

Actually, you are wrong once again. You really should check your facts
before spouting off your "superior" intelligence. The Suburban has been
around since 1935. That would make the model over 60 years old and that
would qualify it as an antique now.

 

No, I am not.

My remark is factual.

My remark that it has been around for more than 40 years remains valid.
Can you really be that retarded? 60 years IS "more than 40 years". You
need remedial math.

OK. It is an antique now. That make my point about car dealers and
older cars even MORE valid, you retarded little twit.

 

Dance, Archie! Dance!

 

The term "antique" never had a varied definition to my knowledge, and
that definition was traditionally 50 years to my personal recall across
several states.

Apparently, the world does not concede as such:

=======================
With him, it is more like twitching!

 

The term antique is pretty subjective and can depend on when a product
was introduced to the public. In terms of computers, I don't there
would be much of an argument saying that the Apple I & II, IBM PC,
Sinclair Z80, TRS... are antiques. Using the 100 years span on cars
doesn't really work either.
