Record players
Record players.
Musically speaking, analogue reproduction is via a turntable, recordings from before 1980 are still the highest achievable for audiophiles:
- very tactile display,
- rhythm and timing are unsurpassed.
- depth placement and contours are better.
In recent years, more and more music has been released on LP. Please realize that almost all of these are digital recordings, so streaming the original recording may sound better, provided you have a good network player!
The interest in analogue reproduction has never gone away and has been growing again in recent years. New turntables and cartridges are still being produced by various manufacturers
and phono preamplifiers designed.
For example, the turntables from the English Rega are currently revolutionary given their price/performance ratio.
