Just stumbled across this article: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2016/03/15/high-definition-vinyl-will-soon-become-a-reality/
I'll never go back to vinyl, but should be interesting for those who have a lot invested, since it's backward compatible.

I'm not so sure about that, was reading some stuff awhile ago on it where a lot of recording engineers are banding together to stop the process. Of course there will always be some out there...Vinyl, the final frontier...
Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want...

I mean, isn't HD vinyl sort of akin to a high performance Yugo?
Conceptually speaking, I mean.

Wait a second... Isn't vinyl the highest definition you can get? I mean it's already a non digitized representation of a sound wave...
-
yeah but them polyvinylchoride molecules are pretty long chains... that right there'll limit yer resolution.

It should be. As long as the recording is good it should be "high definition"............but there is no way to measure it with an analog recording.
I am betting they will screw it up and use the very highest definition DIGITAL recordings to master the vinyl -

I couldn't explain why, maybe it's all in my head, maybe it's the physical act of the stylus running through the groove, who knows... but even records pressed from high quality digital files sounds more pleasing to me than the high quality digital files played digitally.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Obviously none of you guys have ever listened to a dbx disc. I have several plus the decoder. 95 dB dynamic headroom, 20-20k freq response, and will blow you away if you ever listen to one on a good system. I would love it if the dbx disc was to come back into production. Problem was, the first time, it showed up only 3 years before the compact disc did. So it didnt live long.Invention is the mother of necessity.

It's all that distortion from the needle dragging in the grooves that you like.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."
