records can get worn out. the only conclusion: the needle is harder than the vinyl; the needle actively shreds the vinyl as it plays. hence the stern warning about not fucking with the turntable weights on some radio station platters ...anyways, my first question is this: what does the needle shredding the record do to the harmonic content, and how does this change as the temperature increases and the record starts to melt? [and would steel vinyl sound like steel guitar strings?] |

i'm thinking things like if the vinyl starts to heat up enough to get a little more flexible that could act as a damper; a lowpass filter. i dunno. that what does happen, precisely, as a record gets worn out? to the sound? what makes something miscible, and can i order it online? |

im playing printing plates only, however, if a record gets gold, then thats the weapon of choice |

No. There’s a place I. Town that has millions of records and a membership is needed We can store spin LOUDER after 5pm when the place next door closes YouTube and cds also acceptable as spins |

hence the stern warning about not fucking with the turntable weights on some radio station platters ...and the reason someone would do such a thing is because scratching records, heavier weight, easier control. and, yes, that's why they call it "scratching" i guess? which always left the question: does playing a record always inherently damage it on some level? and how do i mix to get the best frequencies out of a doomed eroding sand castle? |

is it possible to say "i never got around to learning turntables but i've always felt there would be some sympatico" and then briefly pretend you're 23 for a few months; very seriously smoking turntables to learn weed? asking for a friend |

have you ever thought about whether they have thought about which breakfast sandwich to put in the square that could potentially trigger someone to say, "i'll have a large #2"? and which customers live in this square, anyways? |

the eclectic kool-aid synaesthesia question "purple is a fruit" --homer simpson that i wager people quote this on its inherent wacky-factor without even knowing it's from the simpsons, at this point. purple is more specific than a fruit, really -- it is grape-flavored kool-aid. orange is citric acid ["you just got citric acid in my eye" --nelson]. red is cherry, but lighter red is strawberry, or, perhaps -- my nightmare -- watermelon. i actually like the fruit, but the additive... anyways green jello is another fruit; lime. so, my question is ~ do all americans share a base synaesthetic map keyed to food additives, a.k.a. kool-aid synaesthesia? thanks. p.s. my favorite is blue, aka wild berry. but just the flavor; that's not my favorite color |

Q: Does this mean that playing a vinyl record is inherently an act of destruction? ... or, to be more poetic, something reminiscent of the japanese tea ceremony representing how every moment is unique and can never be precisely duplicated? A: AS THE PLAYING OF GRAMOPHONE RECORDS CAUSES GRADUAL DEGRADATION OF THE RECORDING, THEY ARE BEST PRESERVED BY TRANSFERRING THEM ONTO OTHER MEDIA AND PLAYING THE RECORDS AS RARELY AS POSSIBLE. i'm currently doing an excellent job of this. |

> what makes something miscible, and can i order it online? solved: This effect can also be used for mixing two liquids acoustically. Faraday waves form on the interface between the two liquids, which increases the surface area between the two, rapidly and thoroughly mixing the liquids. liquids enclosed by a vibrating receptacle form non-linear standing waves that mix your track/drink. liquid is obtained from valves/tubes |

from what i know records wear out with continual degradation simply by playing them. some old records i own sound flat, less vivid, maybe even less loud (hard to tell really). for example michael jacksons bad. it was my first or second buy, back when it came out in 87 or so. now this particualr album is a very thin press and many songs cramped onto each side, which doesnt give the best performance, but im pretty sure it sounded way better when i bought it. needless to say i lpayed this one over and over for a year or two and doing mad things like speeding it up, slowing down, playnig reverse by hand etc. anyway, if youre an audiophile super nerd with enough dedication and wallet, you might want to think about buying every record twice, since not every record gets a reprint especially in our preferred genres of interest here. i ve thought about this more than once, but have never bought a backup copy. i idid however, (before the internet made lossless available) record wavs of the analords for example and played those, when listening over the pc. i wanted to preserve them the best possible way. some of those records sound a bit damp for storing reasons well known. the clear and perfect sound is not always important to me. when i buy a used record in the store, well, they pretty much closed any of those by now, but when i did, i mainly listened for obvious crackle and checked if the record would run properly without skipping (nothing worse) i would buy records because of their easy access and cheap price and i like used items. its astonishing how good in shape a used record can be if the previous owner hasnt spun the life out of it yet. for a private perosn it is nowadays very easy to keep lossless files for backup and run the records till theyre done. in any case thats precisely what theyre made for. |
