    being into vinyl is not really something that i can understand

    like it seems like more effort and more storage space for crappier versions of songs that you like

    I just started up titanlfall for the first time in a long time and actually did decent?

    I switched to a different gun? Oh also the expedition playlist just doesn't seem as hardcore?

    Man, it's pretty crazy to me that they're talking about soylent all of a sudden, considering I just placed an order for that. Planning on trying a week on nothing but soylent.

    CDs are real dumb and with vinyl you get giant high-res versions of all the artwork and liner notes

    Plus you also get a download code for the MP3s so you can listen to it the way you were gonna listen to it anyway

    I only buy records of albums I already really like

    I see them as collector's items rather than an actual way of consuming music in 2014

    It is, though it can/does degrade over time, and you generally need to sink some cash into a decent turntable eventually.

    i just... this is going to sound rude, because Alex is a person with feelings, but I just can't listen to his voice at all. So I might lose out entirely on Vinny because I can't endure Alex. That makes me kind of a bad person, but I can't really help it

    his voice is terrrrrrrible

    can I teach townspeople spells by giving them rune abilities? or do they just learn stuff on their own?

    yeah, with a proper setup vinyl produces a much higher quality sound because it isn't compressed like digital audio

    If you've got a decent setup, it really does sound much better than MP3 or CDs

    I've heard that lossless audio is roughly the same? I haven't really looked too much into that

    But yeah, the album art and liner notes are another good reason

    But mostly? I just like the physical act of playing a record, and it's honestly the only way I ever find myself listening to music at home

    That said, it is expensive, and as such I only really get albums that I know and love

    As far as I know it is pretty impossible to mimic analog sound which has a distinct tone caused by the physical interaction between the record and the needle, as well as not being compressed.

    Langly on

    Well, you can get lossless digital audio.

    Doesn't vinyl naturally produce imperfect music just because of the format? Like, that's where the "warm" sound comes from, imperfections in the vinyl?

    Also while I don't care about this stuff records are definitely higher quality than CDs in terms of simple compression and the fullness of the sound. The only way to be close is FLAC

    Vinyl is for crazy people who can hear crazy things and have lots of money to devote to their craziness.



    I own a Vinyl record player and several records.
