if your wonderin bout pricin

the whole "ya but its all analogue" argument is true but imo the mad noise, dynamic range and inconvenience factors completely overshadow any issues digital might have

ye but its cool dude

its just spinning plastic

id rather frame it to look at lol

wheres the fun in listenin to classical

if you don't have to get up and turn it over

It's irrelevant either way, cause it's recorded from a digital source anyway these days

eh there are some purist studios who still give a shit for some reason

but yeah almost all of it will have been converted at least once

vinyl is $$$ as well

i wanna build my own tt

both in equipment

and actual records lol

eugh this song has some stupid 16k squeal

did they fucking record this next to a crt

maybe they're just deaf lol

Yes or no

Yes

neither measurement looks great

no

Basssss

No.

Conclusion: fuck ogg, opus is ok, and MP3/flac/opus 512 best

opus 192 is fine for vocal focused pieces
