I'd love to know what gay music he was stealing.

Oh Dara

Can someone tell me why people listen to records. I've asked this on regular reddit but got the faggiest replies. Just tell me the truth. It's because they're pretentious faggots, right? There's no benefit over digital media?

People like to feel apart of something. It’s music at its purest form, maaaaan.

For me it's just because I have a way better stereo system than I do computer output. Also there's just something about physically owning something as opposed to having it on a hard disk.

does it have something to do with craving penisses?

It really is better quality unless you're listening to a lossless version of the song.

So I can enjoy my favorite album even moreso if I listen to it on vinyl? I just don't see how it can be better quality but I guess I'll have to see for myself.

Honestly I'm trying to find a source online confirming this but I can't. I thought it made sense because I think you don't have to compress an analog signal where you do with a digital one. But I am way out of my depth when it comes to that kind of shit.

I've heard that too. It has something to do with how compressed the recording is, which is why digital is supposed to be the worst quality. However, I think the difference is negligible and you have to really have a trained ear to notice the difference. Could be hipster bullshit.

Shut up faggot and go watch something on VHS.

Correct

It will only sound better if it was recorded with the intention of it being put on vinyl, and even then only slightly. None of the digitally recorded shit from 1990 on will sound any better because they're just burning digital files on the disc.

Well I never stopped listening to them. When I was a kid my dad had them and I started going through and listening to them and when I started buying my own music I bought records too in addition to CDs/tapes. Analog is going to beat digital every time as far as getting you more frequencies to hear/feel. Digital shit is compressed, has a lot removed from it. Lately though, people just put digital files on the vinyl, so it is kind of a goofy, non-sensical thing, and they also started making them on "180 gram" vinyl and charging more for them with horrible quality control and that if they work for more than a dozen listens you got a good one, meanwhile I have some stuff from the 1960s on regular sized vinyl that still sounds perfect. They used to be built to last probably 100s of years if taken care of, now I'm weary of getting any new vinyl. If you're buying classic shit though it totally makes sense as you're going to hear a bunch of things in the records you didn't hear before or as well(background vocals, lighter instrumental parts). So yes, a lot of it is pretentious fagginess.

Some analog audio equipment is arguably "better". Digital recordings essentially take audio and chop it up into thousands of bits which are then stitched back together for playback. There was a period of time when digital recordings werent quite as good as analog, because analog could, at the time, get a more faitful reproduction of the original source. Technical limitations meant there just werent enough little slices of audio in a digital recording to make it sound identical.

Now, analog justs give recordings a certain character. People like to throw around words like "warmer" to describe that character, but its not necessarily better. Just different. (Unless you are intentinally oversaturating the recording, but thats an aside).

Its reached a point where digital recordings are so hifi now, that if you were to encode a direct recording of a vinyl to a format like flac, then it would be indistinguishable from the original to 99.9% of listeners. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying to sound more interesting.

Printing digitally recorded audio on analog media does not magically make it sound good though and if anything you can fuck up the sonic character of a pristine digital recording by bouncing it to tape.

To be fair to the vinyl fanciers though, most music that gets listened to nowadays is heavily compressed into various digital formats of varying quality, so a vinyl recording will sound objectively better than an mp3 of the same song, in the same way that a brand new cd will sound better than a wobbly old cassette you found in a hot summer glove box, but most normal people really couldnt give a fuck about that distinction, and wouldnt even notice enough to care until it was pointed out.

Some people collect them. The album art and even some of the included stuff with some of the albums are pretty cool. Sometimes old records have a particular master that's tuned a bit differently than new versions of the same album.

Hipsters buy records because they want to fit in with other faggot hipsters.

lol “SpaceEdged”

Imagine being so Europoor you have to steal an outdated medium that only poor faggot hipsters still care about 😂

Depends what record it is. Rare ones can be worth hundreds easily.

Maybe you can trade those records in for above substandard healthcare or maybe means of autonomous travel like a car.

My house is worth more than Anthony Cumias mcmansion Sir
