  I don’t understand why people want to listen to vinyl records vs. digital

    I’m no audiophile, but there is a difference in sound. To me it’s not enough to invest in the type of equipment that maximizes that difference, but it’s still there

    Plus turntables have become another niche technological LEGO set, to customize and improve until the hole in your chest is filled

      there is a difference in sound.

      Yeah, there is: vinyl is objectively worse.

        Eeehhh, I don’t think worse is the right word. Less fidelity, yeah, but the sound is… warmer? I dunno, like I said, I’m not an audiophile, but I know our ears are analogue and all the things in nature that make me feel good have curves

        Your mom, for instance

        From what I understand, vinyl records are often mastered differently than digital recordings, and they do have a bit of a different sound overall due to their mechanical nature (like how different headphones can produce vastly different results.) So vinyl could very well be actually better depending on the mix, and depending on the preferences of the person listening.

    As someone who listens to both: because they’re fun

    Purely ideological at this point.
    I want to own my media, CDs aren’t being produced anymore, vinyls are resurfacing.

  A real TTY would be really cool.
