not unusual for new releases on vinyl to be delayed several weeks or even months from the official album release date.

    - What do you think population growth averages per year in countries that buy vinyl? - Pat 2017-04-25 15:52:09 (222 views)
      - in terms of CPI, inflation since 1985 is closer to 100%.   -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 21:39:44 (231 views)
        
        CDs sold the most around 2001.  -  Pat  2017-04-28 17:24:12 (234 views)
        
        but the retail price of a new CD is the same now that it was in 1984.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-29 21:47:54 (206 views)

      - I was still "borrowing" NO records at that time... - AudiJunkie 2017-04-25 21:02:29 (201 views)
  - thank the loudness war and lazy mastering for that. - cabernet and turkey 2017-04-24 15:06:17 (294 views)
    - I agree that analog mastering is a lost art....seems to have gone away somewhere in the mid to late - Dr. Greenthumb 2017-04-25 10:39:24 (239 views)
      - I haven't forayed into the tube realm yet (with my own equipment).  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 12:15:52 (220 views)
        
        Tubes are the only thing I know.It's only in recent history that I've strayed a bit into solid state   -  Dr. Greenthumb  2017-04-25 12:42:03 (248 views)
        
        Wow - no silicon diodes in the power supply - even as a diode - that's hardcore.  -  gription  2017-04-25 08:58:14 (198 views)
        
        Not a single diode. I have 5 old Lambda regulated power supplies that I've used for amps and   -  Dr. Greenthumb  2017-04-25 17:24:27 (245 views)
        
        I use a Lambda on my DAC   -  AudiJunkie  2017-04-28 18:13:57 (203 views)
        
        THAT is awesome!   -  gription  2017-04-26 09:11:25 (192 views)
    - (digital) '..generally sound better than vinyl' - Rubberduckie 2017-04-24 16:01:34 (275 views)
      - when making that comparison, the equipment doesn't matter as much as the master recording.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-24 17:24:04 (256 views)
        
        I have plenty of albums on LP recorded since 1988 which sound more impressive than the digital  -  Rubberduckie  2017-04-24 19:33:16 (262 views)
        
        Hey!  -  gription  2017-04-25 13:18:38 (223 views)
        
        Hahaha  -  Rubberduckie  2017-04-25 13:31:57 (195 views)
        
        !  -  gription  2017-04-25 13:52:40 (228 views)
        
        lol I wish I was the ultimate authority, I would have everyone listening to  -  Rubberduckie  2017-04-25 14:23:40 (216 views)
        
        Fvck that! lol  -  gription  2017-04-25 10:32:58 (233 views)
        
        I was late getting into The Beatles.  -  Rubberduckie  2017-04-25 15:46:50 (232 views)
        
        It's not normal, it's in your head.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-24 20:53:25 (275 views)
        
        Where do you get digital files that are exact duplicates of the original master?   -  Pablo  2017-04-25 14:52:26 (219 views)
        
        Simple. Sound is an analog waveform.  -  TTinGables  2017-04-24 23:28:11 (235 views)
        
        And that's why it's critical to have an analog master.   -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 00:11:06 (252 views)
        
        Curious as to what your personal reference system is that leads you to this conclusion.  -  gription  2017-04-25 06:32:06 (218 views)
        
        it's not just my conclusion, read the link or any of the many articles written on this topic.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 11:44:22 (214 views)
        
        Have you considered that a publication such as that would have some built-in bias?  -  gription  2017-04-25 12:25:46 (216 views)
        
        it's reprinted from Wax Times...if anything, it would be biased *for* analog/vinyl, not against.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 13:21:49 (205 views)
        
        Why would I? It "proves" nothing other than you found an article to align with your beliefs.  -  gription  2017-04-25 13:24:20 (221 views)
        
        lol...stay buried in the sand, sport.   -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 13:33:51 (206 views)
        
        Whatever.  -  gription  2017-04-25 13:49:32 (205 views)
        
        DACs  -  Rubberduckie  2017-04-24 22:32:59 (231 views)
        
        you've got to compare apples with apples, though.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-24 23:06:15 (216 views)
        
        Even that won't help. Granny Smith vs. Honeycrisp - two completely different apples.   -  gription  2017-04-25 10:54:21 (198 views)
        
        then why do you care what playback equipment is being used?  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 11:48:37 (217 views)
        
        That is the most convoluted "logic" I've ever seen.  -  gription  2017-04-25 12:33:09 (247 views)
        
        you just proved my point.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 13:16:52 (274 views)
        
        Only if  -  gription  2017-04-25 13:20:55 (198 views)
        
        OK, compare that to a $20 turntable with $4.99 ear buds.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 13:30:57 (219 views)
        
        You said digital was superior - would it matter?  -  gription  2017-04-25 13:47:56 (215 views)
        
        I never said that. I said hi-res digital generally sounds better than vinyl.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 14:07:57 (245 views)
        
        Your words:   -  gription  2017-04-25 14:23:47 (223 views)
        
        that is true.  -  cabernet and turkey  2017-04-25 15:11:55 (229 views)
- The vintage turntable market seems to be following a similar price curve to air-coooled 911s. - Pablo 2017-04-22 08:15:19 (275 views)
  - I was chatting up the owner of SOTA turntables and she was saying they are cranking out their entry - Dr. Greenthumb 2017-04-24 14:10:43 (272 views)
    - That's something - gription 2017-04-24 14:52:52 (247 views)
- it's gotten to the point where the vinyl pressing plants can't keep up with demand - cabernet and turkey 2017-04-22 05:45:30 (267 views)
  - Maybe some of the pressings should be done at Porsche factories. - Rubberduckie 2017-04-23 11:17:49 (282 views)
    - so $25 albums can become $75 albums? no thx. - cabernet and turkey 2017-04-23 22:56:24 (239 views)
