    Old Records with Dimples

    I saw some very old LPs in a shop with little "dimples" on the surfaces, some have only one or two, some have around half a dozen or more. These are very old LPs, as early as 1959, and are in mono, mostly classical music from RCA, Decca, Brunswick, etc. Despite the age, the surfaces look almost...

    England's Vinyl Comeback

    Found this on Forbes, the finance magazine. It becomes apparent that industry is recognizing that vinyl is very popular now. This unit looks like just the right item at this time and place.

    How much does the quality of the cartridge stylus affect the sound

    I own a singular record player, and that’s a generic victorola thing. It’s overall built very cheap. It’s made almost entirely from plastics, it has a lot of turntable flutter, and the speakers are awful. Naturally, this would be from the cheap design, but when I plugged in my (slightly better)...

    Thin Lizzy's track, Fools Gold, has a very obvious phasing issue about 1.5 minutes in.

    When the line "He calls for wine but they'll only serve him water" occurs, there's a very obvious phasing (?) of the audio out of the right channel and into the left. It always bothered me because it reminds me of the sound of a cassette tape that has a worn out or damaged section. It is on the...
