Audio Turntables, The History of Vinyl
There are a variety of people out there, especially those 30 and younger that haven't seen real turntables, although they may have seen them in a movie. People 20 and younger might not have even ever seen turntables in a movie.
The way it works is that there is a groove on the records and the needle of the turntables is dragged through that groove, starting on the outside and working it's way in. An oscillating electrical current is made by the needle, which them makes the noise through the speakers.
Today we take a lot of audio technology for granted, such as stereo sound and high fidelity, but these technologies came from the turntable. During the 1990s, CD players were released and turntables began to go out of style.
It was in the 80s that much of the music was released on CDs, which began to out sell the vinyls and soon many of the popular record labels decided to go primarily with the CDs. The CDs are cheap, they have great sound, are smaller, and they are even easier to find particular tracks.
Still today there is some appreciation for the old turntables. When records were made, it was done with analog reproduction. This made the sound come across as live and very warm to those listening. In fact, a lot of the older music never actually made it to a digital format.
Those that own turntables today are usually quite nostalgic. They love this type of music and experiencing it on the old turntables. They get the opportunity to listen to older music that you can't find on a CD
A variety of turntables out there now actually have new enhancements. Digital processors are included on some in the form of chips. This lets you have a very great sound and makes the needles you use quite sensitive.
There are still turntables available that are much like the ones used in the past. You'll want a turntable that is build much like the ones in the past if you want to experience the old sounds from the 60's and 70's eras. You don't have to have all the new technology for this experience.
Many of the newer turntables actually play records, cassettes, as well as CDs. Various turntables even convert LP files to mp3s so you can listen to them on your musical mp3 device. This gives you those amazing sounds that come from an old LP, but you also have the benefit of being able to take the music with you everywhere you want to go.
For those that are really nostalgic, there is nothing better than a vinyl and the warm sound that comes from turntables. Many of the turntables with retro designs come from Stanton and Rek-OKut, which will give you the real feel and sound as the old turntables from long ago. - 18758
