No, Benn Jordan got into that a while back. It's not the listening part, it's the manufacturing that isn't 'green', though I'm not sure quite how the math works

No, Benn Jordan got into that a while back. It's not the listening part, it's the manufacturing that isn't 'green', though I'm not sure quite how the math works: for instance, whether they're counting the trucking of boxes of vinyl circles all over the place rather than just uploading bits locally. Some of that would apply to CDs, too, but CDs are about as relevant as vinyl records are.
- wyldfire 4y ago> it's the manufacturing that isn't 'green' If this is really the case then it probably doesn't belong in this thread about a usb-powered (!!) "factory".
- randomvalues 4y agoBut the vinyl blanks for this device have to be manufactured, with similar processes to the vinyl for professional releases. Also, cleaning the disk after you cut it, hoovering up the swarf etc. is surely more energy efficient when done in bulk in a factory? Factories use more energy than a home device, but when divided by the number of units produced?
- SeanLuke 4y agoAlso worth mentioning that vinyl records cannot be recycled.
