its crazy how expensive that poo poo is man

I can’t front on a working musician wanting $40 for some limited color vinyl whatever but people wanting 35 US dollars for a basic copy of velvet underground or number of the beast is ridiculous, there’s literally millions of copies out there

there’s a fair number of “loudness wars” stuff from the 90s through the 2000s where the CD releases were way more dynamically compressed than the vinyl but it’s not stuff I listen to much plus a lot of the current streaming versions are higher quality

listen to the original vs. remasters of pretty hate machine if you want very clear example of what that’s about

the good news is trent was enough of a nerd that he kept all his turbosynth patches from his mac plus so he could make it sound ok once he was famous

I feel like there's a market for a $100k cassette tape recorder for audiophiles for the this

reel to reel already exists and the prices of both the equipment and tapes make vinyl look reasonable
