A new survey of electric vehicle owners around the world finds that only 1% of electric vehicle owners would buy a pure gas-powered (or diesel-powered) car for their next vehicle. The survey comes from ... [continued]
It’s not. The benefits are all hypothetical. In practical demonstrations, records have dramatically less dynamic range and more distortion. It’s not even a contest.
CDs have a digital sampling rate of 44.1 KHz. Vinyl is a continuous waveform as an analog medium, but if you were to digitize it, the equivalent sampling rate would be at 96 KHz or higher.
Yeah, but CDs don’t have static, aren’t affected by dust and there’s no hiss. In ideal conditions, vinyl is best, but I don’t live in a vacuum chamber.
Back in the day my parents had a high quality turntable and sound system from a very well respected manufacturer, and we had strict rules on how you look after vinyl. The first generation CD player blew it away for sound fidelity.
Vinyl is actually higher fidelity than CDs though. That’s not subjective, it’s scientifically verifiable.

Yes that’s the hypothesis.
But in practice the distortion eliminates reliable reproduction at those frequencies, which humans can’t hear anyway.

All you have to do is clean the record before playing it each time. It takes 20 seconds, and I enjoy the ritual.
That’s because humans can’t hear frequencies above ~20 kHz. If humans could hear the difference, the sampling rate would be higher.
