180 gram sounds the best, but i hate having to flip over the record every single song :lol:. honestly the difference is not that noticible.


i like vinyl for the collecting mostly, and to support the artist :). anything put out in the past 15 years is shite anyway cause it was recorded digitally, so you lose all the extra frequencies analog recording brings

of course those frequencies extend outside the realm of human hearing capabilities (20-20k Hz) so its the difference could be negligible anyway :lol:

This isn't when something is digitally recorded mind you, the frequencies are lost when that information is converted into consumer based digital files such as MP3's. Unless you're referring to the analogue noise warmth, which has nothing to do with the actual recorded sound (though it can bring atmosphere and character to pieces). In other words, vinyl is typically unaffected.
 
What do you use to play your LPs / what speakers? It should sound A LOT better...mine typically do. I guess it has a bit to do with the recording quality as well.

Stuff from the 70s...
I have a Pioneer PL-120 with a new pickup and belt.
Reciever is a Pioneer sx-424. Speakers are also from the 70s, I was looking for new ones cause I was going to go digital on everything, but when I spoke to the HiFi-club they recommended that I keep what I have, if I wanted better sound I would have to pay alot they said.

Yeah maybe they sound a little better, The new Devils Blood I got sounds fucking great.
I have another 2LP-release that sounds kinda bad, maybe its a bad press. :/

my point is, that the problem is mostly that everything is recorded digitally, and when it goes onto vinyl you basicly get a vinyl rip of an mp3 like you said. which is why a few bands decided to record their latest albums on analog (agalloch i think, possibly opeth, dunno anymore ive lost all interest in their new albums though)

which of course gains you nothing in terms of audio. and yeah i know what the warmth is:Smug:


haha yeah wth ive had a few vinyls that sound....poor. i tracked down a copy of ravendusk in my heart a few years ago off a canadian grindcore mailorder. guy used a fucking bubble mailer :lol:. needless to say it was bent like crazy

That would only happen if you have a very shitty deal. One of the jobs of the mastering engineering is to get the master tape (either digital or tape). And do a specific master to Audio Cd, a specific mix for Vinyl and one for Mp3.
