Vinyl is like a real human being

Did you ever equate vinyl listening with human beings? It’s real, it’s warm. At its best, nothing can beat it. But at other times, it’s quite messy and there’s lots of problems and issues. You never know for sure what mood the human beings you live with will be in tomorrow morning. And some days your records sound better than others. It is a game of highs and lows…like real life.

 

And in many cases warped.

 

No, but the music on them has the power to change a humans mood and thoughts, as does any other way of listening to music.

 

Just as CD's do. I reject categorically the dogma that equates vinyl with "real and warm", and digital as "cold", because that's just your prejudices, looking for yet another way to say the same thing in a passive-aggressive manner.

 

I honestly don't think there's a big difference. It's all in the mastering on both formats.

 

My Yamaha disc player is a human being. (name withheld)

 

It also comes in all colors,just like the folks who listen to it

 

When I crank the volume to 10, vinyl sounds good but, CDs sound distorted. That’s a fact.

 

I bet many teenagers wouldn't know what vinyl is or turntables/record players are tbh. My son and distant cousins play music on their phones. They probably think CD players are useless.

 

Also matters how invested you are on any given day.

 

I keep my records locked up in a cupboard, so yeah.

 

I have about the same of each, possibly more CDs now as they're so cheap. I love them both and even my small cassette collection. I just love music and owning it.

 

With my system as it is at the moment my CD and Vinyl sound the same which never ceases to amaze me as my turntable, Rega P25, a few upgrades and a Rega Exact cartridge isn't
what i would call high end ...... but ...... there is a warmth there and it has nothing to do with the equipment but it's the fact that playing a vinyl record takes me back to my younger
days, back to the 70's when all there was was vinyl. I have a wall of vinyl and almost the same in CD's . They both sound great but putting a record on the turntable, dropping the needle
on the first track and I'm 17 again... That's warmth.

 

Never really gave any thoughts to the original post... but - yes I agree. Many either don’t or can’t understand. That doesn’t make them right or wrong.

 

No, I'm not full of pops and clicks .

 

Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
?

 

These are all terrific book proposals, do you all have agents?

 

Records seem to have an energy that CD's don't have. I'll see an old CD in perfect shape and I'll be like, "Oh well..." If I see a record in even good shape, it's really a different thing.

 

It's threads like this that cause a certain troll forum of accusing us of having sex with our records.

 

Vinyl sounds "warm" because there's a forest fire going on in the background with all the surface noise and distortion.

 

Does a human being need riaa curve to live?

 

Only if the human being looks like this.


Isn't this just a banned versus thread in disguise?

 

I've bought and sold vinyl, so yeah... Exactly like a real human being.

 

To me the music is the living thing, and the medium is the wardrobe

 

Well, there is something mesmerizing about seeing them well stacked.
