Hi guys.. (apologies to Randy.. for sending to him rather than the list
first off :)
I recently ordered from Boomkat, accidently ignoring that one was an LP not
a CD... anyways I've been wondering about getting a turntable for a long
time.. I'm quite into audio coding etc.. and have been discussing this at
hydrogenaudio.. I know that vinyl is technically inferior to CD.. also the
technology to reproduce vinyl requires expensive equipment to get good
sound.. but even the best vinyl player will only play as well as whats
stored on the record... and this is just below what is capable on CD..
obviously CDs are mostly mastered poorly (outside of electronica i hope, in
the mainstream) so vinyl can sound better simply as its mastered better..
There's a great article on vinyl and mastering here
http://www.recordtech.com/prodsounds.htm
Good stuff..
Anyways is it worth it.. are there enough releases in electronica that are
vinyl only that will drive me to purchase them to warrant having a
turntable.. thats the question.. a few faves i'll buy on CD and vinyl to
really compare for myself but most of the time i'll always adopt for CD...
I may get into mixing or try to at a later date but for now i can't, and
dont have the space.. as such i'll get a hifi player..
Your input is appreciated.. going to have a look perhaps at the weekend..
Cheers
James
