Warbling vinyl

What you need is one of those laser stylus based turntables. I kid you not, they read the groove with a laser beam and can play warped, grimy, even broken disks (if the parts are arranged correctly in the tray). Apparently the sound is as clean as you can possibly get and you only hear what has been recorded (no artifacts from your needle arm)...

Unfortunately, they cost an arm and a leg :-(

Yeah, about £5000... they also have a tiny vacuum on the laser armature to removed dust...

Vinyl sux, get the CD :lol:

It's a complete fallacy that CD audio is clean. Aliasing is detectable on the upper fringe of human hearing (for original signals of 22kHz+) and the dynamic range is not too great either. However, on most systems you'll never notice. On a state of the art setup (including the laser turntable), vinyl completely kicks CD's a*se...

You forget that the Speed at which the Record rotates and the size of the stylus limits the highest frequency that can be recorded on Vinyl. Vinyl sux just as much as CDs do in the recorded quality, but they also suffer from far more physical problems (re this thread :-D) too...

Of course :-)

And yes it is vastly superior to CD's, especially on a good system (Expensive Amp and Speakers).

-Edit- Mixing a song using 24bit @96Khz give you some much more headroom that CD-Audio that it makes life musch easier, similar to what it was like on Analog mixing boards.
