They say you won't be able to completely capture the analog sound of an LP using a digital recorder. I guess they've never had any experience with a good digital recorder.

C'mon, Mike, all the wishing in the world is not going to make this hobby mainstream again.

Better convert those crumbling relics into PRISTINE DIGITAL MP3 TECHNOLOGY while you STILL HAVE THE CHANCE! Even better, now you can ELIMINATE all that annoying vinyl noise with this WONDERFUL £49.99 piece of software which makes ANY piece of music sound like it's BEING PLAYED BY A GANG OF TONE-DEAF ROBOTS!I guess I'd better get to work then. Looks like being a long night....
Kind Regards,

that owners of record collectins cant play them anymore.Other than that I thought it was OK.
He is certainly right that the digital copy won't be as good as the LP. more or less. Give the guy a break will ya?! :-) He's on our side!
I thought you paid for the report so all those people will sell you their LP collections, no? Be honest. :-)
And that is that Rafe Needleman is a f'ing idiot, whoever Rafe Needleman is.
The should have called Rafe Stylusman.

You'd think they revived this technology after seeing it inscribed on the walls of the chambers inside the pyramids at Giza! The inevitable March - or rather Sprint - of Progress.

There are more good TTs on the market now than there was in 1975.
And they aren't much more expensive, either, if you figure for inflation.
Hey, it's good. Keeps the diletantes out.

if they have no way to play them, how are they to transfer them to any digital source...osmosis?
Sleaze the day!
. . . is hightail their "prized LPs" to the nearest thrift store so us "music collectors" who do have a way to play the "ancient technology" can put them to good use.As to olddude's main point, what's amazing is there are more turntables available now than there were just 10 years ago--and not just good turntables, crappy turntables at the likes of Best Buy and Wal-Mart of all places. I'm not saying it's advisable for people to play records on such machines, but plenty of people obviously are! (My Dad is one, actually. He's no audiophile, but last year he bought one of those "nostalgia" turntables at Wal-Mart. I'm happy to see him enjoying his old records again--the handful of his old records that did not make their way into my collection years ago, that is!)
Anyway, I wonder what the space aliens who intercept the Voyager spacecraft will make of our advanced "ancient technology."
Talk about a marketing coup!! "Out of this world sound!"
"You won't be able to completely capture the analog sound[.]"I have no major gripes with that article. Truth is, most people don't want to hassle with LPs and turntables, so if they converted their vinyl collection to CD or MP3, they'd listen to it more often. I see no problem with that.
I like them because it raises the chance that people will copy their LPs, then sell them!If only I could be first at every yard sale in the world! It would be phenomenal to get rid of the "I should keep this in case someone wants to hear it" type LPs...I mean, NOT having room for them because I've found the entire Blue Note catalog and the entire Harmonia Mundi catatlog, and the entire Riverside catalog...etc.!!!
What a wonderful concept, 20,000 of the very finest recordings of Jazz and classical, rather than 10,000 of which I could easily do without at least 2 or 3 (not thopusand, you silly puppy!)!
Sleaze the day!
and there's an article like it every 5 minutes. This is what comes of the kind of advertising twaddle which associates 'digital' with 'magic'. What's encouraging is that more and more people are becoming aware of something called 'bit rate' which makes me wonder whether people are not getting wise to the whole thing.Best regards,
. . . the advertising catch phrase "CD quality sound." It about kills me when I hear ads for, e.g., digital cable, using this as a selling point! I mean, come on, it's like advertising a new video game as having "Atari 2600 quality graphics." Same generation of digital technology.
I'm convinced that if you have a new product, all you have to do is put the word "digital" in the name and people will fall all over themselves to buy it.
