  • When everything is digita

    From Ogg@VERT/CAPCITY2 to All on Friday, February 24, 2023 19:14:00
    Another interesting video/vinyl/cassettes (Canadian) survivor
    story..

    "When everything is digital, why we long for media we can hold
    in our hands"

    "People are rediscovering the value of DVDs, records after
    years of digitizing everything.

    by Natalie Stechyson ú CBC News ú Posted: Feb 23, 2023 4:00 AM

    "It's a feeling increasingly shared by consumers and collectors
    across Canada. After years of digitizing everything, people are
    rediscovering the value of physical assets. DVDs, vinyl records
    and film cameras are all experiencing a renaissance. Even
    cassette tapes are making a comeback.

    "Last year, for the second year in a row, vinyl albums outsold
    CD albums in the in the U.S., Billboard reported in January
    (and the manufacturers are struggling to keep pace with the
    growth). In terms of photography, Kodak said in 2022 that it
    "can't keep up" with the demand for film.

    "a lot of younger female customers buying records. Now, it's
    common to have 15-year olds coming in to buy everything from
    old re-issues to new releases"

    I disagree that records sound better than other formats.. But that's a debate of its own.

    Vinyl is optimum only if they are completely dust-free, and if
    the needle is replaced every 200-300 hrs of play. Without
    that, over time, the sound becomes more muddled or cloudy (not
    to mention damaging to the vinyl) - perhaps that is what some
    people perceive as "softer".

    Many early manufactured CD players were terrible, and produced
    a harsh "edgy" sound. Over time, that contributed to what some
    people reported as "listening fatigue". I experienced the
    same. I had thought that I had purchased a fine player. The
    sound was super clean and clear, but over time there was
    something about the sound that wasn't confortable to the ears.

    Later, I got a new player with a better D/A converter
    technology, and the difference was significant.

    Let's talk about the "loudness wars" if we're going to get into which
    format sounds better. I'm now actively avoiding any CD that's been
    remastered since 2010 or so, because it's remixed to sound better
    through cheap earbuds. When I compare an older CD with the remaster
    (bought the remaster to get some additional tracks not on the original
    release) the remaster sounds *muddy* and loud.

    Kids these days. They're missing out.

    Another problem with records is that there's more surface area toward the outer ege, which means there's less surface area for audio information as the needle moves toward the middle of the record, so the songs toward the outer edge will sound better than the songs toward the middle of the record.

    Many early manufactured CD players were terrible, and produced
    a harsh "edgy" sound. Over time, that contributed to what some
    people reported as "listening fatigue". I experienced the

    I got my first CD player (a Sony Discman) in 1992, and I always thought the CD players I've had sounded good all the time.

    In my experience, they sound good when new, but the more you play
    them the worse they get from the needle. Just my opinion...

    Discman, what about the Walkman? Cassettes have their own issues,
    but you could record the album and walk around listening to it.

    thought the CD players I've had sounded good all the time.

    Yes, I had a walkman before that. I had a good number of cassettes and enjoyed using them and recording songs from the radio, etc. I had a dual-cassete radio boombox at home for recording, but I really enjoyed having a cassette walkman too.

    That's why they make photographic film for Fuji.
