    Vinyl Represses!!

    in Autechre

    I wasn't trying to argue guys, I was genuinely interested. Just saw a post and thought I'd ask a quick question about it but apparently you guys get butthurt for no reason in these parts of town.

     

    Anyway, just pretend I wasn't here.

    So since my audio interface is working again after the Windows update, I thought I'd record a couple of snippets so you can hear the night and day difference between the limited edition silver pressing of Incunabula from 1993, and the 2016 reissue.

    I think this mostly highlights just how fucking horrendous the early Warp coloured pressings were. I don't have the original black vinyl pressing, but I've heard that it's no-where near as bad.

     

    Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to shit on vinyl collectors but why would you prefer the vinyl if you could get the CD with perfectly clean sound if that's what you're after? I really can't wrap my head around it.
     
    Again, I'm not trying to be mean. Someone just please explain this to me once and for all. Maybe I'm just dumb or something, I don't know what I'm missing.

     

    I never said I wanted 'perfectly clean sound', and the second file shows that the sound isn't 'perfectly clean'

     

    I was pointing out that the original limited silver pressing, as with most of Warp's early coloured vinyl, sounds disproportionately terrible compared to pretty much any other vinyl pressings out there.

     

    edit: it's almost as if you've heard the first file, and assumed that's how vinyl sounds under usual and normal circumstances, which is not the case.

     

     

    No, I get what you were saying. I'm just wondering why go for vinyl at all when there's better sounding alternatives. Surely you'd want the option with the least amount of noise on it right? At least that seems to be why you're comparing both pressings.

     

    No, I'm comparing the pressings to highlight how terrible the early Warp coloured pressings are. This is the third time I've said this now.

     

    As for the separate discussion on why listen to vinyl in the first place, there are many discussions about this topic on the internet. This thread isn't really the place for this discussion because it very quickly devolves into fallacies and pretentiousness that detracts from this thread. Not sure why you're bringing up the topic unless you want to troll.

     

     

    Fair enough man, I didn't know discussing vinyl in a thread about vinyl responding to a post about vinyl wasn't allowed.

     

    What am I gonna make a new thread just to respond to your post in specific? ffs you can pm me your opinion then if polluting this precious thread with slightly off topic discussion bothers you that much.
