Yep it’s why I don’t buy new vinyl I hear the sound of protools! Damnit if I’m going to buy a new turntable the sound of PT is what I’m try to escape!

I'm all for it if it keeps people paying for music.

My vinyl chain already sounds pretty HD to me...

30% more time should translate to faster wear. I'd avoid that urge until it's quantified.

I'm not jumping. I don't even listen to my 2,000 deep collection enough as it is. My neighbor gave me a nitty gritty vinyl cleaning machine that works pretty darn well. That has spurned more listening than anything else. I love cleaning a record before listening. It takes 30 seconds and sounds significantly better without the dust.

Well, that IS Gizmodo and as such shouldn't be considered really authoritative, but if I understand what they're saying this is mainly a process for creating a ceramic stamper that won't wear and doesn't requiire the toxic electroplating process and all the "HD" malarky is primarily sales-speak, as is the talk about additional dynamic range and playing time because, as we know, those are limitations imposed by the physics of playback. Unanswered is the question of compatibility with conventional pressing machines. They're touting an end to manufacturing bottlenecks but that won't do a whole lot of good if the stampers won't work in existing plants. |

The problem is vinyl. It's too soft and wears quickly. A new release sounds different on the second play. I used to give away records I did after one play because they never sounded as good the next time. Yes, it was played with good decks and carts.
I used to cut discs. They trained me well to find/locate the errors. That ruined my enjoyment of it because all I hear and focus on is the groove modulation, pops, crackles and inner groove distortions, etc. Plus the stereo crosstalk sucks next to my better DAC's.

This is basically B.S. It's probably cheaper than a lathe which is a financial advantage. The limitations are in the playback system and the best sound comes from tweaking the system for what sounds best with conventional playback of a test lacquer.

The limitations are in the playback system and the best sound comes from tweaking the system for what sounds best with conventional playback of a test lacquer. I was thinking about that - with this system you'd need to do a new stamper for each test pressing. That doesn't seem economical unless that ceramic process is really cheap, which I somehow doubt very much. |
