I love the sound of vinyl

Ever heard VHS HiFi? Best analogue by far. Some studios recorded with it back in the day but it never caught on. It was like running tape at 30 feet per second (Flying heads).

I only used VHS for data storage (apart from video, that is).

I agree, it was almost as good as CD, but analog.

I think CD's are awful. Digital blows it away. I've gone to live shows and get audio that's better than studio. Vinyl just has a unique sound that I cannot describe if you have a solid record player and speakers.

Get some studio monitors for digital music. Your world will change. About peed my pants the first time I jammed out on them. A good mix get around you if that makes sense. You hear it like the engineer and band wanted it to sound. Your car or standard speakers cannot replicate it.

Au contraire - I've got 7.1 surround with the .1 being 4000 watts of servo bass goodness calibrated with MSO. I also have SACD, but Sony in their greed made it practically un-rippable without a modded PS3, so it's dying on the vine. Everyone (musicians included) are in awe of what I accomplished on a beer budget. It helps being an EE and having a background in signal processing.

Multichannel is sublime. I rent so I can't do ATMOS, but my system still made the low flyby in "Ford vs. Ferrari" turn heads.

I'm talking music. 2 channel L/R. I can't stand subs listening to music. The mix wasn't designed for that in studio when real bands make music. Maybe rap/hip hop. 95% of people just listen on standard speakers. With studio monitors you get the max range of frequency and don't need a sub. Quality headphones are the same. Added subs are for movies for effects, not music in my opinion outside of live music given the acoustics of most venues.

I have a basic 5.1 system now and can't stand music on it. Solid speakers too. That one is designed for movies though. New system in the house will be off the charts. I will never go to a movie theater again. I need to figure out the projector for video though.

I do want a higher end record player though. I have access to hundreds of 45rpm records for cheap. Singles, but still some cool stuff. I work with a guy that does estate sales and I can get some weird vintage shit for next to nothing. I hope to not become a hoarder like him, but I can get some cool old shit and flip it. I'm an old 41 at heart. If I could piss on music somehow it would be about 2010 till now. Absolute shit show.

It's called 'rexxing'. And it was invented by GenX.

It was also decent aerobic exercise, too.

Not possible.

Most receivers and TV's still have them. My teenagers know what RCA's are and use them. Think of a 1/4" guitar cord. The old school tech is still as good or better. Every live show you see there's a 1/4" or XLR plugged in somewhere. They just work.

HDMI cords are fine for video. I go optical for the audio though. I do notice the difference between RCA, HDMI ad optical. Optical wins for audio. It's small, but is better if you have a solid system.

The shit they made Erin Gray wear in the first season was fucking insane. Too bad she was borderline anorexic - a chick with biscuits and booty in that skintight satin shit - fuck, it would have been R-rated and fappalicious.

I remember that what's the name of the movie.

Haha this is so true. +1000 - fuck modern "parenting". GenXers are so capable because the 80s had the right mix of hard and soft parenting.
