The great thing about vinyl isn't necessarily the sound quality, it's the experience. When you decide to listen to a record, your mind is on it. You have to choose it off of a shelve, remove it from the sleeve, maybe clean it, and set the needle. You are primed to really listen. Then you have the cover and the liner notes to peruse. You are committed to it. The ease and convenience of digital music cheapens the experience. It's disposable.

@@vagabondarcade7633 vinyl has a limited dynamic range, cause you can only cut so deep. CD has a bigger dynamic range if you really want to hear what CD is capable off buy a classical CD and compare it to the vinyl. The CD wil sound better because of the bigger dynamic range that CD can deliver. That is why vinyl did not get affected by the loudness wars because you cant clip audio like that on vinyl. So there is a positive side to vinyl that it did not get affected by the loudness wars, but on the other hand CD is more capable of performing better than vinyl. Just take a daft punk vinyl and CD and compare them, the cd will win. Because daft punk made sure that the CD release would as good as it could get and that is way better than the vinyl release.

The fact is that you will never hear a recording like it is in the studio because the room is just as big a factor as the speakers and amplifiers. Studio monitors are not like Hi Fi speakers, which are generally colored in various ways and then add to that different home room environments and the sound will be altered in so many ways from what was heard in the studio. Not all studio monitors are the same either and not all studios have full acoustic treatment. And vinyl records do NOT accurately reproduce what was recorded because of inherent physical limitations, especially in the low end frequencies. The best recording quality will be at the same recorded bit rate - usually 24 bits and not 16 bits like a CD - and the same sample rate, ie: 44.1kHz or higher if it was recorded at a higher rate. Almost all studios now master everything digitally, while using various analog equipment or plugins, which are now virtually indistinguishable from analog. So getting a digital master guarantees the best possible sound 'source' and the rest depends on your setup and room, which will all contribute to altering the original sound in various good and bad ways.

I know exactly what he's talking about too. I was at a home electronics expo about twenty years ago. There was an sign with an arrow pointing up a flight of stairs to the "high end audio" section. I got to the top and could hear music faintly playing. Then, I must have walked right into the sweet spot. The music suddenly got louder and clearer, and I felt like the music was emanating from the air around me. Totally surreal. It sounded _better_ than live music to my recollection. At first I was looking around me to try to work out where the music was coming from, even though the speakers were right in front of me, because I just couldn't comprehend that the it was coming from them. Normally you can kind of _feel_ that the music is coming out of the speakers, but these just looked like inanimate objects, and the music was just 'there'. That's the first time I listened to electrostatic speakers, and I'll never forget it.

Vinyl as a medium is not actually better sonically. It actually has quite a bit of limitations. This is the main reason why it sounds "better" to some people. I am a sound engineer and have mastered for vinyl. When you're mixing/mastering for vinyl, you cannot push maximizing limiters to make the recording 'extra loud' the way you can on digital (this includes flac, so flac and vinyl have little in common). You also need to roll off a lot of the low bass, like 30hz or below. The reason for all of this is more bass takes more space on vinyl, also can literally cause skips. If the recording is maximized too much, it can cause vinyl distortion and also flaws in the pressing. Mastering for vinyl is a careful process, which gets ignored often in the digital world, where people just slam the volume up as loud as they can. This actually makes records as a whole more dynamic since they have certain limitations on the way they can be mixed and mastered.

I’m going to help y’all out a little bit here. I’ll start with record wear. One variable not considered is the quality of phono cartridges. Some needle assemblies (a needle in a phono cartridge is usually referred to as a stylus) are way lower mass than others, meaning they do less damage over time. Phono cartridges are critical because they’re the phase other than speakers or headphones where there’s a translation between mechanical energy and electrical energy. A device that does that is called a transducers, and transducers generally influence sound more within similar price ranges than electronics do because of the mechanical component. This means pay a lot of attention to phono cartridges when you buy a turntable; in actuality, the phono cartridge makes more of a difference in the sound of your record than the rest of your turntable does, unless it’s really lousy. Making equipment sonically invisible is expensive and not easy. Why is vinyl under ideal conditions closer to perfection than digital? Think of the difference between a painting and seeing the painting on your TV set. The painting is basically infinitely detailed, the TV picture is not because the TV picture is comprised of pixels. The more pixels you can fit per square inch, the closer you get to reproducing the painting perfectly. At some point you get enough pixels not to be able to detect the difference. The same is basically true of digital audio. Sampling rate is like pixels: the more times you sample per second, the finer your detail. The main problem here is that CD’s were released to the public before the sampling rate was quite as high as it should have been, and that’s why vinyl remains better. Actually, right now the bigger problem is that MP3’s are worse than CD’s. But there are advantages to digital, particularly if you can get the sampling rate high enough. Digital is encoded, and there are some benefits to this. The first is that as you make other copies you don’t wear anything out - it’s the same set of ones and zeroes no matter how many times you duplicate it, which is not true of record pressings. Another is that once encoded the signal isn’t susceptible to added distortion. Dust on a stylus harms the sound because it affects the movement of the needle, thereby becoming part of the sound. Dust on a CD, however, isn’t encoded, and thereby can’t be read as noise. Scratches aren’t read as noise either whereas on vinyl they are because they move the stylus. As to headphones vs. speakers: the advantage of headphones is that you can get better sound out of headphones than out of speakers for the same money. The headphone has to do a lot less and the headphone has the advantage of being unaffected by the acoustics of the room you’re playing back in. Also, when listening to headphones you’re always in the ideal listening position. However, there are a lot of disadvantages to headphones. You always listen alone. You can’t talk to anyone. You’re always wearing something on your head, and the best ones have a wire attached to them. And whenever you turn your head, where the stage is moves with your head. As to the variables in speaker design, that one takes a while. Suffice it to understand that, as is often true with anything, making a difference in sound is more related to the proportionate increase in price than to the actual increase in price, i.e. the difference you hear between a $500 speaker and a $1,000 speaker is way more than between a $10,200 speaker and a $10,700 speaker. Diminishing returns. By the way, the observation that listening to stereo will get you a better result than going multichannel for the same money is absolutely true and most people don’t realize that. Automotive listening: I don’t care how good your system is, you have two intrinsic obstacles. The less important one is that you’re not listening in the center of the room. The more important one is that the environment isn’t quiet because of ambient engine noise and wind noise.This makes a huge difference listening to classical music. You’re listening to a quiet passage, you’ve got it turned up loud enough to hear over the ambient noise, a loud note comes through and you’re blasted into the back seat. The soft parts have to be too loud in order not to be masked. The normal way around this is something called compression, which means reducing the loudness differences between the soft parts and loud parts. However, compression takes impact out of music and it will sound a lot more flat (not in pitch, in overall sound) than an uncompressed signal which you can listen to at home. Really covering this would probably take a book but these basics should help.

Mastering is what matters. Vinyl is very flawed and uses its own means of compression techniques. Hi res formats are vastly superior. Vinyl grooves can only be cut so deep or wide. Sacd, dvd audio,blu ray audio like dts and dolby true and standard dolby and dts can record in ways vinyl can and cant. No two vinyls sound the same and when you remove the rumble and his and shit people think something is missing. Ya the shit that shouldnt be there. Burn in is bullshit too. That being said i do love vinyl but i dont pretend that its something its not. Reel to reel is superior to vinyl too. And yes i have about 15 to 20 grand in my main setup and have flipped tons of gear.

@@34672rr sorry, total rubbish. I work as a mastering engineer and speaker performance is very different from box to box. This is easily measurable. If you want a very flat performing speaker, something mix and mastering studios require, then any old cheap home stereo speaker won't cut it. In fact even the best speakers are not flat. They are incrementally closer to flatness. This is why in a recording or mastering studio, we will take measurements of the room and apply room treatment, diffusion, bass trapping, absorption, to get the sound at the listening spot as flat as possible. Different speaks use different drivers, different crossovers, these things have different performance ratings... A ribbon tweeter does not perform the same as a soft done tweeter, for example. Speaker accuracy HAS improved in general for sure, as technology is cheaper and better. But speaker design is a fine art. So many elements combining, porting or closed box? Transmission line? Active or passive crossovers... So many decisions that effect the sound, it's a fine science.

Really good audio can be super cheap if you get into it and spend a few months learning the basics. As one example, you can spend $10k+ on a few different models of commercial hifi speakers that use a shared formula: A high sensitivity 15" woofer paired to a 15" wide shallow waveguide and sensitive, low distortion compression driver. The drivers they use are less than $650 for the pair. The formula is so common in various DIY forums that there are detailed writeups for constructing your own pair, measuring their response with a $70 calibrated microphone and using those measurements to build a crossover-or simply upload them to a $100 DSP. Crude youtube jigsaw skills and a lightly used recent model table saw will have you with a fantastic pair of speakers that save for low end extension and top octave detail will compete with many a new car-priced commercial design. Putting a box together, learning simple free tuning software and either soldering together a dozen things or using a DSP to type in some numbers for no soldering needed costs 10-20 hours of time plus another 5 or so for a first try box. To save 8 grand, cool. Next you need an amp. One company, Hypex, makes the boards used in a whole bunch of ~$7-15k amps for years. Great sounding boards, reliable, efficient and cool running with loads of power on tap. Then Hypex opened up to the DIY market. Now you can get those same amps and power supplies in different boxes for 500-600 bucks used. At least two companies sell the newer version of the same amps for 900 dollars or so in nice boxes with warranties. There are lots of fabulous used preamps in the $800-1000 range with sound within spitting distance of esoteric high priced new stuff. If you want digital, a great DAC is no longer obscenely expensive. I have two popular DACs from the same company, one $350 (Schiit Bifrost Uber), the other $150 (Modi Uber). I think the price difference should be more like $50. Comparing their $850 DAC on lone, it feels like it should be priced like the mid tier unit, you really don't need to spend lots on this piece. A well tuned, well isolated turntable with a good cartridge and a used phono pre lets you get a cheaper Rega or similar and have better sound than an ill-tuned very high end turntable. Also, if you can built a speaker box, you can build a turntable stand that's ultra-isolated and a serious upgrade for very little money. You can splurge for cables, but why not use some of the better quality stuff used by the same studios making your music? I like Neutrik Profi RCA connectors on Mogami microphone wire. $60 for a 6 foot cable that will last forever. A hifi brand (nordost) used the same connectors in interconnects that sell for $1000+ used! Use your calibrated mic to tune your DSP to the room. For 200 bucks you can get a DSP that takes 2 channels of digital in and lets you create crossovers for 8 output channels to feed 4 dacs. Combined with 2 ~$150 range dacs and it's a scary nice sounding digital front end that can be tuned in realtime from your computer and leave 4 channels of DSP free for later distributed bass. A huge part of sound quality is the room. Ever walk into a Best Buy and hear their nice Bowers & Wilkins speakers that cost as much as a new hatchback and feature diamond tweeters on $6000 McIntosh amps? They sound like poop. In a properly set up room, they sound incredible. Build your own bass traps and absorption/diffraction panels. Even easier than making those boxes. A sound system that will put a band in your room, capable of insane output with no compression or distortion (around 100 decibels from 1 meter with a single watt- and you have 250w available, for roughly 124 decibels of continuous output and very understressed amps at normal listening volumes. Virtually identical to a $20,000 commercially bought stereo for $4000 and a hobby. Alternatively get a $80 tripath chip amp with bluetooth, pair it to a DIYSG bookshelf speaker kit you just glue together and have a $300 system that is glorious in small rooms. Just regained awareness, super stoned thought I was somewhere else, sorry mates

Most modern music is recorded on to hard drives via analog to digital converters, probably less than 1% of the music out there is actually analog meaning never converted to digital through the production process (recording/mixing/mastering/production onto medium). so the purity he mentions of analog to analog is close to non-existent in the modern world.

So being a kid from the '80s, I used to buy vinyl cheap as CDs were the main thing, but only because I wanted to audition an album before I bought it on CD. There were two things that liked about vinyl: the large artwork and how much you could put in there, and watching the record spins as years into your music, which was hypnotizing. Otherwise, I always found it inconvenient as I had to keep on cleaning the records and turned them over. I still love CDs, but have a soft spot for vinyl. That being said, what kids need to do nowadays is get a proper stereo system, complete with amplifier and good speakers, not those crappy Bluetooth ones or even headphones. My son heard a Queen album on Yamaha amplifier with Wharfedale Demton speakers, and he couldn't believe how immersive they were compared to even the car.

The information given here that a vinyl is the closest to a final master you can get is just a 100% lie.

I use to have vinyl records and the bass on the actual audio coming through the speakers was better than digital cd's of the same tracks that i bought from stores when i switched over to digital in 2006. And yes, i did play them through the same amp and speakers. I just disconnected the old record player and connected a cd player to the same amp when i bought the extra cables when switching to digital. You must be talking about very high quality digital stuff - as opposed to the standard mass produced cd's that people purchase from regular music stores Also, a good pressed vinyl will always sound better than a regular mass produced digital cd, in terms of atmosphere, as the hiss on a vinyl record helps to add atmosphere to the track. The real test should be in term of comparing the highest quality digital format - against the highest quality vinyl records - in a head to head sound comparison when BOTH played through the SAME stereo system. Then you would be right in your analysis on sound.

I am a 23 year old musician, I have significant experience in recording studios and my hearing can reach the 18k barrier so..I CAN DEFINETELY HEAR.

The vinyl sound TO ME is unbeatable in terms of listening experience and pleasure and that's the main reason why I want to listen to music! I don't give a crap if the frequency wave is going to be inferior, less competitive or whatever...."realism" is not my goal and I am sure it's the exact same thing for many other listeners!

Nothing beats having the original master in high resolution wav file.

Too much mariJuana. When people don't know the difference between "what sounds good" and "what's the truest replication of the original recording". No mentions of all the limitations of vinyl, ie. distortion, hissing, rumble playback speed inconsistencies, stereo imaging issues, etc. It's all these negatives that end up sounding more natural to human ears, but definitely steer far from original recording quality.

The digital lossless format is the most transparent medium in existence. No analog format has ever delivered 100% true reproductions of the original mix and mastered the sound of the record. I think the harsh and sterile characteristics that people associate with digital is because of the lack of tonal balance some records have/had because the mastering engineer wasn't familiar with the digital format/ working in the old analog workflow.

not true. Maybe on paper, but wide track/high speed/high output analog tape is much more transparent. Digital makes an analog signal sound cleaner and clearer, which is often mistaken for transparency. But if you run say an ampex atr 101 1/2" stereo machine at 30 IPS, the resolution is infinite, while the noise floor rivals digital. Digital has a (very) finite resolution, while analog tape is a continuous medium.

@@34672rr I'm pretty sure 24 bit resolution is well above what you need or even dare to pretend being able to discern. Also, the speaker doesnt just moves in discrete steps, the DAC and the speaker momentum makes a smooth wave anyways so the whole "step" argument is just wrong.

RCA is just as good as any other format except with long lines, like much longer than any normal room setup would require. RCA is a "consumer" format, mainly because of the uselessness of balanced in setups. I think many companies capitalize on this misconception and use XLR or whatever balanced format as a marketing ploy. And along with all of the other BS in consumer audio, it works. There are honestly still people who think cables have a sound.

Records have a nice warm sound but no where near the best. Lossless digital file is the highest. Honestly how good a song sounds has more to due with how it was recorded/mixed and mastered. For example using SSL consoles to track a song gives it a special sound because of the analog signal and the on board processing. Recording on tape, certain mics and using tube compressors also do this. They make digital plug ins that emulate these pretty good.
@xXEddXx5 жыл бұрын
A lot of what people call "warm" is just saturation man, just tossing that out there. Light distortion, I just find it funny that light distortion is considered of higher quality sometimes. Although I get why it sounds pleasing, you're adding extra harmonics to the frequency spectrum go fill it out a bit more.

Reggie is right that older tracks sound better on vinyl, this is because it was mastered for vinyl and and most digital versions are going to be remasters or duplicates of the vinyl version. Newer media is recorded digitally so it will sound fine digitally. There are file formats that will have even better resolution than vinyl, but you can't take lower resolution stuff and make it higher, so stuff that started on vinyl will never sound better. Vinyl isn't an uncompressed format like most people think. The variations in the groove need to be large enough for the needle to pick it up but at the same time small enough to not cause the needle to skip and to fit enough songs on a record. The sweet spot for this compression is how we ended up with so many records in the 50ish minute mark. TL;DR: New stuff, uncompressed digital, old stuff, vinyl.
