| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf "I suspect these very same folk would have little problem with the same looking Bedrok if it was priced at three times the current ask. Question is what price is it that elicits push back??" I can’t imagine Linn would have sold many Bed... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @unreceivedogma That's a great piece of writing. Yet, I am not completely convinced. What you so eloquently describe is clearly part of the attraction of vinyl records. However, I don't consider it to be the full story. For me, the most important... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @billpete I kept my LP records all the way through the barren CD era, then added to them and upgraded my turntable during the vinyl revival. Yet I made the silly mistake of selling my turntable to improve the digital side about six years ago. I ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @gbmcleod When I was learning to play guitar, I listened to a lot of pre war country blues all the way back to Charlie Patton on tape and later CD copied from old 78s. It’s amazing how the performances can sometimes transcend the limitations of ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Incidentally, I just realised another major benefit of the sound of vinyl replay. There are many artists and albums that I found to be impenetrable on the fully digital formats. Yet on vinyl, they are accessible. For example, I attempted to get ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @mambacfa Brilliant satire. I especially liked “the intelligentsia of the audiophile community” - a contradiction in terms if ever I heard one. If the geniuses in the music industry could master CDs and digital files properly, Luddites like us ... | |

| Linn users, what is your preference for your platter mat? @billpete No, I leave that sort of thing for my dealer to do. | |

| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @atmasphere Thank you. It’s good to hear that confirmed by someone with personal experience. Your contributions here are highly valued. | |
| Linn users, what is your preference for your platter mat? Owned LP12s for nearly forty years and always used the same felt mat they came with. | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @rauliruegas Yes, it’s possible that some systems may be optimal for either vinyl or digital formats. However, it can’t be the whole story. I find my preference for vinyl is not system dependent. It’s there with both budget and high end set ups ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @stealthdeburgo I find it interesting that you mention both processing and compression. These were two big factors in me getting back into vinyl after a hiatus of four years. I regard that time as a failed experiment and a big misstep. My origin... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) In response to @russbutton’s somewhat crotchety negative points about vinyl records, here are a few positives that come to mind: I can listen to vinyl records all night without fatigue There’s a vinyl club at my local pub We have great indepe... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @russbutton The problem with your argument here is that value is whatever you deem it to be. You’re quite entitled to your opiniin on this, but unfortunately it tells us nothing about the subject of this thread. |
