Not forgetting there is a layer of aluminium in there too...You mean a ‘polycarbonates player’?
I would put it nearer to 5...Or turned down to eight depending on your viewpoint
What drew me into whole albums as a kid - when all my mates had Now That's... and greatest hits, or just top 40 singles taped off the Sunday night chart rundown- was all the great tracks I discovered that weren't "hits" and that is still the case for me now.
I find a lot of people skip around albums just to hear the singles/hits but for me they're never the stand out tracks. Streaming has just concentrated this format down even more, now you don't need to skip around and just curate a never ending playlist of bangers/singles/hits.
I wouldn't mind betting all the Swifties and Lana fans buying the vinyl just see it purely as merch or similar.
Why do you think that is GT? Its the same data right (excluding MQA and speaking of cd quality streaming) ?I would put it nearer to 5...
Agree and it's a bit of a shame... as some albums are a real experience.A lot of my friends and especially their kids don't really do "albums" anymore. They mainly seem to be using playlists on spotify now.

We know. We subverted your content. Sorry.I was talking about the skipping mentality that CD created, not the sound quality.

Over the last few days, I’ve listened to several DG albums and the ones that have stood out have been “Our Man in Paris” and the live set “Homecoming - Live At The Village Vanguard”. Must haves for any jazz fan, the latter can be had for peanuts.What Dexter Gordon LP? My ‘EU copyright loophole pirate’ alarm is ringing very loudly.
PS You want One Flight Up and Go to start with. I know the former is dear being a Tone Poet, but some records are genuinely worth the money and more, and that is one. One of the very best Blue Notes IMHO.
There’s a product that would find a market right now. A high quality all-in-one record player.She plays it on a beautiful valve Hacker GP42 that I restored for her for Christmas about 5 years ago. Its perfect for the younger listener as it is an all in one case and portable, but best of all it sounds wonderful. Ideal for the young who don't have the space for a typical Hi-Fi system.
Absolutely, plus all valve, 3 actually, with a nice little push-pull output stage to boot. Best to buy a used one and have it properly restored. It would be too expensive to make one to this standard of quality today. No one would pay the price for it, but its a great idea!There’s a product that would find a market right now.
