I keep thinking I have the perfect word lurking just out of reach in my subconscious. Unicorn Filter probably isn't it.

“The filter of harmonious perfection” probably sets the wrong tone (and I laughed out loud when it appeared in my head).

I'm debating what cans to bring for demo with Rag 2. Leaning toward HE-6 or K1000. Does the Schiitr currently have the HD800 in the house, or is it on the road?

There were 800s there a couple weeks ago...

The purpose of vinyl is to transfer to magnetic tape or digital storage, unless you have a laser-based player.

The purpose of 8 track is to prop up the corners of your amplifier to ensure good airflow.

Quad 8, well, if you have to... It does have 4 discrete channels.

Are you saying that Vinyl Is a dead format? ...

Can you live with that filthy piece of tape?

Are you saying that Vinyl Is a dead format? ...

I'm not. But it is a format that is damaged by physical wear each time it is used, so you should use it as rarely as you can.

Well, i already know that the profile of users here it's in major part "digital boys" ... so, let me say something clear: a vinyl will last an entire life without any change in sound under certain conditions.

What conditions? a clean record used with clean and not damaged stylus.

These are facts already tested and you can find that on the www ... also i have disks with 40 / 50 years and sounds incredible without any appreciable loss.
Sometimes, we mix some wrong theory and some bad examples and we finally say things as nature laws ... when it's not really that way.

I can say that in theory the music layer on CD cannot be damaged (Sony / Phillips say that bull**** on the 80s) ... and you know this don't go well in practice. With vinyl it's the same, can be damaged and can lose quality on certain conditions. Treat well your vinyl and they will sound great your entire life. These facts are known by any serious collector that i know.

You don't believe? Ok, i will add the opinion of one professional reviewer, and obviously record collector,

You don't believe it anyway? Ok, it's your right, be happy as i'm with vinyl records

It will fade away when a generation changes. Teenagers don't know how to use rotary phones these days. I doubt people born these days will have music on physical media when they become teenagers. Even now do you know any 16-year olds who have CD's or LP's? It's all in files locally or in the cloud.

In other depressing news, the [REDACTED] has been a glorious success keeping the cats amused, and the reliability trials are still ongoing.
Thus far it has been subjected to being immersed in boiling bitumen, coated in feathers from a female leghorn, used as a shot put at the local sports arena, and still functions perfectly.
After much soul searching, both Mike and I feel that releasing this product would be too traumatic to the public at large.
For instance, there is nothing more soul destroying than hurling your beloved [REDACTED] at you recalcitrant spouse or sibling and finding that after the event, it still funtions as intended.
Where is the remorse...? Where is the feeling of consolation as you purchase a new replacement with the fervent vows to never behave in that way again.

In other more heartening news, our [SON OF REDACTED] prototype blew up spectacularly and spewed forth sheets of flames and incendiary pieces of componentry in all all direcrions.
DARPA, arrived on the scens after detecting the seismic distrubance and confiscated the remains and all the relevant documentation pertaining thereto.
As they were departing they were heard to mutter something along the lines of it being the replacement to neuclear and atomic based weoponry.
