Product idea: a vinyl record player with a built-in A/D converter, hard drive and label recognition. The first time you play a new record it records it. The second time you play it you hear the recording, and the player makes a show of spinning the record and moving the needle (without actually touching it). All the tactile pleasure of vinyl, none of the degradation. The needle would last longer too. If the hard drive runs out of space it can just drop stuff out of cache.
Would also be fun to watch unsuspecting vinyl nerds gush over "superior analog sound".
- lb1lf 10y ago>Would also be fun to watch unsuspecting vinyl nerds gush over "superior analog sound". -When in university, I built myself a DAC (nothing fancy - a quad of PCM1704's and a very minor revision to the reference design) Anyway, I put a couple of tubes on top, connecting only the filament voltage. Lots of oohing and aahing as to how 'organic' and 'analog' it sounded.
