Record Players

[Illaveago]

You could have records playing at different speeds so that you could make the artists either sound like the Chipmunks or Lee Marvin.

In other words the frequency response is artificially adjusted to favour tenor notes rather than what the musicians produced.

You've just found a long way to say "warmth". Don't spoil the moment with facts.

We play vinyl in the office everyday. It's the main method of listening of music here. We have 1000's of CD's to hand to play but vinyl is the preferred .

And for @threebikesmcginty , this is currently spinning on the office death deck

A while back i was toying with buying a proper record deck... but after all the reading and weighing up the odds and looking at spending a couple of hundred quid... i ended up buying a new belt for my existing deck for £3 and am slowly spending the rest of my replacement deck budget on lots of new vinyl

I've not got any Hoagy although I do have many tracks he wrote performed by quite a diverse range of folks from Bob Dylan to Jerry Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Brenda Lee, The Everly's, Nat King Cole, Merle Travis, The Clovers, Bobby Darin, Django Rheinhardt, Louis Prima, Oscar Peterson and Fats Waller - quite a bunch! He looks great in that photo. I'm gonna go get some...

Does anyone look as cool as that nowadays? I think not.

Think again.

i understand all the nostalgia, and the LP covers and sleeve notes were a pleasure to own and read, but my hearing doesn't warrant all the inconvenience for me, although a nice turntable would be a thing I would appreciate, nowadays its a NAS for all my music (I still have a lot of CD's that never get played) I am now looking for some good free cloud storage space, any recommendations ?

I've got a big box, I can write 'cloud storage space' on it, if you send me all your cds I'll store them in it for free. That's my recommendation.

Yeah, but that's hardly 'nowadays'. Tom Waits is 114; that must date back to the '50s.

No RIAA Equalisation is applied during the manufacture/cutting of Vinyl then removed by the Amplifier phono stage for listening.

You've replied to the wrong post. RIAA is indeed exactly that, but you replied to a post explaining "warm sound" which is something ynrelated

No I was trying to explain to srw that there is no 'Artificial adjustment' in the sound favouring 'tenor notes' when listening to Vinyl.

Ok - we're trying to say the same thing then

It's only air pressure fluctuations, but I like it, like it, yes I do.......................................

I think we've had this discussion before re vinyl and CD. There's good and bad in both formats, you can get great sounding CD's and rubbish vinyl, and vice versa. So it's never that vinyl is 'warmer', whatever that means. So.
