Yes!
This does not surprise me but is welcome news 🤙
I've got a little 80s style silver record player, then I was gifted an older looking wood panel style one in great condition but I need a new ribbon so I haven't heard it run yet.
Oooooo I’m jealous always wanted to find an old wood paneled hifi

My favorite thing about them isn't relatable to most people, it's mainly not an audiophile thing about the sound or anything like that. I did a deep dive on all the data storage media's longevity and vinyl has by far the best shelf life. It could be really useful these days.
The downsides in the past were: it's hard to write data to a vinyl record, and it can be worn out more easily by reading from it instead of sitting on a shelf.
However, today there are Chinese toys that can write (horribly) to vinyl records. And there's expensive equipment that can use lasers to read vinyl like a CD without a damaging needle. With a bit of work, vinyl can come back as a valuable backup storage medium for the world.
It's not a coincidence that things developed this way. There's an inherent conflict between something's read/write durability and its shelf life - in principle, the easier it is to record data to something, the easier it is for environmental factors to rewrite that data at random, corrupting/deleting it. So a CD that claims to last a thousand years struggles to do so because it's hard to make it so the data can be written by a tiny weak laser, and can't be overwritten by years of slight temperature changes or anything like that. Cassette tapes likewise struggle with being unable to escape the world's magnetic field.
Every storage medium is a developing technology that continues being improved after its initial release, and vinyl record kept advancing after being "replaced" to where now it might have something to offer again.
Fuck man, digit would probably not hate this post. She might like how I used math words or something. I hope she's fine
👋🏽 Big fans over here!
In fact we are in the middle of producing a vinyl as we speak.
The Velvicks just finished recording at the Foo Fighter's studio 606 and we will be mixing/mastering next!

Nice
Absolutely! But I’ve been tagging them #waxster I think. https://v.nostr.build/RoKn.mov
#vinylstr arriving for duty 🫡
Solid!
That was a precoiner rabbit hole of mine. I had a turntable that had an 87 pound shipping weight (three big boxes) and about 20 linear feet of pristine vinyl that had all been spun through a VPI vacuum record cleaner.
No kids, no pets, no cleaning lady ever in it’s room, separate lock and key whatever room it was in.
Got tired of moving it and sold it all not long before I got into btc. We were basically flipping houses for a living at the time. Peak fiat.
Dude, do you KNOW how many vinyl shops are in Shibuya. Like 21 million

Yes, Vinyl is still the hardest form of music 🎶
Only vinyl, only analog. Analog or death!
Yup just got my hands on liquid deaths greatest hates volume 3. Freaking genius.
