| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @bdp24 cool story One of my favorites is Jeff Lynne. I always wondered why his own records sound so substandard. I always blamed the type of music. Or my equipment | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @bdp24 if you are lucky enough to have big record stores in your city, you are lucky enough! I recently discovered a store in my town with 1000s of 45s in boxes. It takes 15 min to go through one. 50 boxes at least. If only someone cataloged it, ... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @bdp24 "produced early in the morning sounded different than those in the afternoon" wow, much like Maseratis :) | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries fun fact: I have buying an album about one a week from ebay, the cheap ones under $10. usually they are in much better shape than I expect it. There was one that was however a total mess, like the cat regularly puked on it and then it was used as... | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room since you are at the beginning of your journey, you should ask yourself: do you want big sound? will you play at high volumes? Bright, forward, detailed? Warm or analytical? Or just sound that moves you? These were all pretentious questions to me... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries "third party" - not the country of origin for the music or the record company | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room here is just the room correction link: | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room @deertrail7 yes, you are right, I thought airplay was a mediocre source. I know little about streaming so I take it back. Here is a pretty cool trio: wireless KEF sub, wireless KEF speakers, and a software to figure out the best sound from Lyngd... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @russ69 I used the smiley, I was joking. The real proof of "greatness" was the Trabant. And don't ask me about the our shoes (and not even running shoes) and clothes, they lasted months at best. | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries and I just looked: my 90s Hungarian LPs are absolute crap while 70s and 80s are delightful. So much for capitalism :) | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries I know a lot of audiophiles in Hungary, they swear by US LPs and CDs as if God created them. The grass is always greaner.... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @teo_audio @bdp24 @russ69 is there a way to tell if an LP is likely to sound better from looking at it? Such as the weight? Gloss? Little telling signs? I browse a lot of used records and so far it has been a complete hit and miss. | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @teo_audio That's a lot of awesome info! I wonder if there is any processing data anywhere on the sleeve or the LP, like abbreviations for the manufacturing steps. I will definitely look for Canadian prints. @lewm @drbond I have a lot of Rus... | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room definitely start with low end speakers, if you are streaming via airplay, you will want a room filling sound, from e.g. JBL, PSB or Triangle speakers? given your space you may not want cables, so go wireless? this thread has back to the wall spe... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @bdp24 "A production tape sent to a foreign country" OK, so if it was 1s generation, then it was "original", with 2nd generation, was there a loss? Would they have to send it back to the owner of the tape? And the owner would trust x number of... |
