That's my point. The guy isn't a consoomer because he bought a vinyl from his favorite musician. He is a consoomer for being excessive and buying the store's whole stock.
What if I find something neat and want to have it displayed in my apartment? Using something as decoration is still using it.
there is nothing wrong with this room
nigger, using a laptop hunched over it from an air mattress on a fucking floor may be "cute" as a joke but when you're 45 years old your back will sodomize you nightly for doing something that stupid and careless to it.
Yes. Using a decoration as a decoration is still using it. Using a vinyl as nothing more than a poster isn't, it is not a decoration it is meant to have a use which is playing music. That specific vinyl is £35, I can get a cd with a fucking poster for £10. If I am using a vinyl as solely a decoration then yes buying anything other than a specific decoration is retarded. Buy a poster or whatever fucking buy a displate overpriced dogshit print or whatever instead of buying a product to essentially throw away the product just so you can keep the packaging. If any of these people did the old fashioned thing of getting the cover and vinyl framed so you could see both at the same time in one frame then I would at least respect it to some degree. But he isn't using the vinyl as decoration he is using the fucking packaging. There is nothing about the vinyl that is worth buying to these people, the sleeve could contain literally nothing and it would not stop these people buying it.
Where are you getting your FLAC? Which streamers are you using. Sorry thread, but my husband updated his shit after 20 years and there are so many new things lol. (We like 70s prog okay?)
Some of the shit we were looking at because we needed new speakers...Like, what does the human ear detect that is worth NASA-approved technology?
Also sorry thread but I can hopefully answer this succinctly. Either use Soulseek (good if you're after obscure stuff which 70s prog could be? idk), or there are a variety of sources on https://fmhy.net/audio#audio-ripping. Not sure which is best, I have the luxury of access to a paid Deezer ARL so I haven't had to use anything other than Deemix.
Oh man you're about to go down a really fun rabbit hole making fun of retards with more money than b rains. Wait 'til you start seeing this bullshit:
Thank you!
God I love this ha ha like nigga, why do you think that shit does anything? Like. What even is the physical mechanism and how are you even perceiving that?
The absolute best part about those massive python snake cables is that the claim is generally "it's heavily-insulated to prevent signal distortion from interference by external sources." i.e. there's so much insulation, ain't nothin' gettin' through to that sweet, juicy cable inside.
You just know the Monster Cable guys are thinking "fuck me, and to think we were worried we were charging too much for our overpriced junk ... turns out we got priced out of the market by undercharging!"
Audiophiles never acoustic treat their rooms. That's a classic.
Records produced at any point in time are cheap as garbage because that's the point of this medium. You can't press a vinyl properly because it's not feasible, they are all shit because the format is shit. People bought this garbage before the 80s because there was nothing else that didn't cost a fortune.
I see that the superiority of my opinion has ruffled some feathers, come now and tell me why vinyl doesn't sound like scratchy horseshit.
we need to start airing PSAs on television for kids explaining to them that, no, someone disagreeing with your opinion doesn't mean they're "mad", nor does it somehow validate it
Yeah it's a bit like flat earthers calling normal people "angry" because they roll their eyes at flat-earth garbage.
The point of mocking audiophiles isn't the endless pursuit of audio perfection, it's the fact that they constantly fall for snake oil products that either don't improve audio quality (literally at all in some cases -- any cable carrying a digital signal either carries the full signal (resulting in audio) or less-than-enough of it (resulting in no audio), so there is nothing the cable itself can do to "improve" the content of what's being transmitted) or actively fuck it up. Those thick-ass python cables are often made of such fucking garbage internally that analog signals get absolutely wrecked and the resulting sound is worse than if they'd just used a $8 Chinesium cable in the first place.
