A good weekend thing. Looking for some more space in the film room I pulled out a stack of 12 inch vinyls (those black disks most of you have never seen -- except that DJs still use them). Just for fun I dusted off the turntable and put one on. You know, those guys who say analogue gives more transparent sound, smoother dynamics and better sound stage are probably right.
This is compared to 16bit 44kHz CD. Of course digital has better S/N and greater dynamic range, and the latter makes a difference to the 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky) and other power orchestral pieces.

These disks were clean when I put them away and they're still clean, so nice clean playback. So what are we doing this weekend? Playing vinyls!
