thebes Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Somebody finally got around to making a documentary on the vinyl revival called Vinyl Nation. Starts streaming this weekend I think on something called TV-14. I have no idea what this is or if there are other ways to view it but I thought I'd pass it along. Here's a link to the trailer: tv-14 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODS123 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Very cool!! To me, the appeal of Vinyl is NOT that it sounds better. Because, well... ..it doesn't. Vinyl is challenged by off-center holes, limited dynamic range, wow/flutter in the master, inner-grove distortion, etc.. All that aside, it can still sound absolutely amazing AND there's no comparing the awesome liner notes, posters, pictures, cover art, etc.. of vinyl. ..Basically, the experience eluded to in this trailer. Plus, because vinyl is so inconvenient to advance to the next song, its encourages the listener to take in the WHOLE album side which reveals the connectedness of the songs and possible themes that otherwise get missed. Viva la Vinyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I've been collecting vinyl for over 45 years, never stopped. The magic of black discs is and remains unbroken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
