It would sure be a shame if people stopped buying vinyl records. It’s quite an amazing ritual, putting the record on the turntable, sitting down withe the album art, letting the sound surround you, etc… Some people say vinyl records sound better than CD’s. I think they sound warmer than digital media, but I can’t say for sure. I do know that I like playing records better than playing CD’s, even though they’re not as convenient to use, and there is that chore of having to get up and flip it in the middle of the album. Overall, I still like vinyl better and probably always will. Thanks for the fun facts. Gonna subscribe. ☮️ OUT!
Thanks for your thoughts here. I feel very similar. I think vinyl will always have a place as a niche for those who love the ritual and fully engrossing themselves in an artists work. Of course, this extends to the album art as much as the music 🎶 - happy spinning
Good information, as always learn something !!!
Thanks for watching!
i am glad you reminded me that the comments are below. I kept scrolling above the video to leave a comment but then I heard you say the comments are below. thanks!
F... Me. That amount of money for any record is so absurd I simply find it crass. My first thoughts are how many people I could feed if I had access to cash like that lying around.
Thanks from France for your video !
Thanks for watching and happy spinning!
From what I understand, there are more defective copies of Thriller than playable ones. Supposedly, they pushed the stampers far beyond their proper amount of copies because the demand was so high, quality control seemed to come in second to the amount of sales they could achieve.
Interesting. Didn't know that, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Thanks I’m a decades long collector and I learned something from this video thank you for making me a little bit smarter😂
How do your lp wall displays work?
They're magnetic. I remove the LP and store it separately. A company called "Twelve Inch" make them: twelve-inch.com/
I just recently watched a 'laser disc player' collector. Laser disc is no match against '4k'. Those players are so bulky and has so many moving parts inside that will eventually conk out.
Back to the dude who has 6 million vinyl records. I guess he hears music just thinking he has so many albums.
No music exist till actual sound is produce or playing- Igor Stravinsky
Are those sales new records or includes sales of used ones?
I started a year ago (restarted from 1986) and I have about 500 albums most of them used, from thrift stores mostly, some of those in amazing condition, some destined to be culled.
Those are new records. I'm not sure how you'd really track used record sales accurately.
Nice sounding collection :)
@@soundmatters So our hobby is bigger that it seems when we based it only on new records sales.
@@rvin2105 Good point. I wonder if anyone has tried to estimate used record sales
For you and I. For you and for I. 🤓
Did you forget to mention the existence of "linear tracking" turntables? 🤔 I have one, and supposed to have "zero tracking error" from the beginning to the end of an album. If I remember correctly, it was EXPENSIVE...! It does, however seem that it would be less damaging (wear) on the album as well as the stylus...🤔
I have a couple of those as well ... Technics was the "king" of linear tracking/tangential turntables back in the day, and used ones are still available at reasonable prices on the used/vintage market. Be aware that the cheaper ones have a tendency to break down over time (a lot of brittle plastic and rubber belts inside) while the more expensive, quartz direct drive ones usually last a long time. They are all very user friendly, and you can still get decent cartridges from for instance Audio-Technica if you want to swap out your stylus. Just bear in mind that the stylus pressure is fixed for most of these, so a new stylus/cartridge must be of the same weight as the original one (or at least close to it ...). I enjoy my vintage linear trackers a lot, but because of the limited cartridge supply, I don't consider them the most "HiFi" in my turntable collection :o)
Cannot fathom the Luddite fascination with the LP. I've some 330 albums and love the music on them. Archived the music onto reel to reel back in the 70's, Teac 2300 SD and Revox B 77. So my LPs have been played twice. But the LOUSY pressings, using recycled PVC, stampers used far past their useful lifespan, limited dynamic range, surface noise, inner groove distortion, static charge, dirt, vibrational feedback from this electromechanical playback, are a PITA.
Yet I am in the process of building a Tube, phono stage, pre amp to again transcribe them onto a Tascam SD based 96KHz/24 Bit medium, again due to the music on the LPs. But a CD playback via an outboard DAC utilizing R2R Topology, Resistor/Transformer/Resistor I/V conversion, Class A valve output stage, with a shunt regulated power supply, simply outclasses Peter Goldmark's 1948, microgroove LP advancement.
The 45RPM bit is incorrect and the flipbook analogy is faulty.
45RPM does not add information, more drawings does.
I'd say it adds more dynamic range on the mid and high frequencies, just like the magnetic tape speed does
@@JoeOrber It doesnt.
100% agree that 45rpm is dynamically and audibly better. Have known this since the 70s. More groove with more information passing the stylus per second equals more audio information sent to the amp per second. Similar to higher bit rate in mp3's today. No comparison between them.
@@stu3136 Sorry, youre just wrong.
Wasn't arguing, it's fact! Just saying it's not, doesn't make it true....
Did you know there are no "clicks" and "pops" on a brand new record that has never been played ?
Oh, yes there ARE things on unplayed records that will cause a pop or tick.
Maybe you mean that if it's never played they won't be heard, which would be true.
@@spacemissing The clicks and pops on a new record result from the shock waves of the "hard" stylus travelling through the "soft" vinyl punching minute holes through the other side.
Fun? Not when you either don't care about or already know all of what is presented.
