realbez posted:“Hey man maybe don’t make your own power board insurance companies really frown on that in case of a fire.” it’s pretty easy to make a power cord but i bet his is like...completely uninsulated with glass knobs to hold the wires apart. ‘what most people don’t understand is that the rubberized coating on the majority of these cables interferes with the quantum harmonics of modern music. it’s not something that you can really consciously hear, but after a few sessions you’ll notice that listening to music isn’t nearly so fatiguing.’

You really need to evacuate the atmosphere from your listening room or you'll get all kinds of noise from the air molecules bumping the conductors.

Now I'm picturing some ultra rich dude building a sealed chamber in which he tests various gasses impact on sound. Imagine how much cred he'd get in audiophile circles with reviews of pure nitrogen vs mix with CO2 impact on warmth and range. And once few others

And once few others I've heard something a band with too much money and ego trying to convince their label to pay for drum stems recorded in a nitrogen atmosphere with the drummer in a respirator but I think it's a stupid sound engineer urban legend.

Transfer Groove! I could use it to skip a long scratchy section! And I could cut it cleanly, not with a key! This is awesome!

I have an Explosions In The Sky record where there's something in the lead-out that throws the needle back into the last 10 seconds of the last track. At first I was like "oh, that's a neat trick" then I realized it's probably just a mistake and it's probably loving up the vinyl and my needle.

You can make loops using stickers on the vinyl, much better method than using a key lol https://www.theransomnote.com/music/news/kink-uploads-short-tutorial-on-how-to-make-loop-records/

The amount of money some people will dump into making a format with 60db of dynamic range sound better is personally pretty hilarious.

I'm all for vinyl as a medium and an experience (and indeed own turntables and vinyl myself) but throwing money at the format and defending it as the purest form of listening seems to be a certain type of insanity that I'll never truly understand.

Yeah I don't hate vinyl and I still own around 200 records but it's always been funny to me that some of the most insane systems from a cost and effort standpoint were done to make one of the worst formats sound as good as possible. I think about Henry Rollins and his quarter million dollar Wilson/McIntosh system he uses to listen to punk 7" that were largely mastered on cassette 4 track recorders.

"I use vinyl, how can I improve the sound of my setup?" A sad truth you don't want to hear: by not using vinyl as your music format of choice. Instant cheap gains are yours for the taking!

Had an engineer tell me with a straight face that CD quality (16bit/44.1kHz) music is very audibly worse than 32-bit vinyl FLAC rips. Nice long chat with that bloke about the limitations of humans and him being a loving idiot. I mean if you're looking for a less overcompressed sound specifically from tracks mastered in the loudness era ok whatever but like...
