In the late 19th century, </span><span>Edison invented the <a href="https://www.americaslibrary.gov/aa/edison/aa_edison_phonograph_1.html">phonograph</a></span><span>. This device served as a precursor to the record player and was used to record and play back audio using a hand crank-powered needle for etching sound waves into a foil-covered cylinder. The recorded sounds could then be played back as the needle ran through the grooves left in the cylinder.</span></p> 3999<p>Edisonâs original intention for the phonograph was a far cry from what it eventually evolved into. In Edisonâs mind, the phonograph was primarily a recording and playback device, whereas the future reinventions of his initial concept ended up being used solely for playing back recorded music. Eliminating the recording element that was included in the original phonograph made the technology much more accessible to consumers. </p> 4000<p><span>Edisonâs phonograph was later refined in the form of the gramophone. Invented in 1877 by Emile Berliner, the gramophone used similar technology to the phonograph. However, instead of recording and playing back audio from a cylinder, the gramophoneâs needle instead read the grooves in hard rubber discs, which served as the precursors to vinyl records. </span></p> 4001<p><span>Without the two cylinders that were present in the original phonograph design (one for recording, one for playback), the gramophone had a much more user-friendly design with looks that distinctly foreshadowed modern turntables.</span></p> 4002<p><span>In the early 20th century, the transition was made from rubber discs to vinyl records, but the gramophoneâs technology is otherwise relatively similar to that of the modern record player. </span></p> 4003<p><span>Since the introduction of the vinyl record, one of the most notable innovations that has changed the format was the introduction of stereo sound in the latter half of the 20th century. Originally, records were recorded and mixed in mono, meaning the same signal would come out of two speakers attached to a turntable that would come out of one. With the introduction of records in stereo, albums began taking on distinct sound qualities that were previously impossible to achieve with a mono mix. </span></p> 4004<p><span>After stereo became the norm for vinyl records, the format continued to offer unparalleled </span><a href="https://www.soundguys.com/vinyl-better-than-streaming-20654/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span>sound quality</span></a><span> to listeners, even as other formats came and went.

Compression is a major aspect of the mixing and mastering process in recorded music, making louder parts of a signal quieter and quieter parts louder. </span></p> 4027<p><span>However, the compression that is inherent in audio formats like MP3 and MP4 cause the audio to sound different from the originally mastered song. For a diehard fan of an artist or musician, hearing your favorite album on vinyl is one of the best possible ways to experience it as the artist intended.</span></p> 4028<p><span>You may be wondering if your ears will be able to discern the difference in sound quality between an MP3 and the lossless audio from a record. Although you initially might not sense a world of difference between the two formats, listening to re
4028cords can train your ears over time to recognize âlossyâ audio when you hear it. After listening to records and experiencing lossless audio, you will likely start to notice a sonic distinction between the lossy audio of digital music and the warm, analog, lossless sound of a record.</span></p> 4029 </div> 4030 </details> 4031 4032 4033 4034 <details class="lesson"> 4035 <summary class="lesson__summary"> 4036 <div class="lesson__arrow"></div> 4037 <h5 class="lesson__summary__subheading text_body_md"> 4038 Lesson 3 4039 </h5> 4040 <h4 class="lesson__summary__heading text_heading_lg"> 4041 How Vinyl Records Made a Major Comeback 4042 </h4> 4043 <div class="lesson__brief text_body_md"> 4044 <meta charset="utf-8"> <p><span>According to the RIAAâs sales statistics, record sales have been steadily increasing over the course of the last decade, even as streaming services have been on the rise.

Vinyl saw this decline in the 90s and 2000s as CDs began to dominate the market. However, as streaming began to overrun the physical music market, CDs have largely gone extinct. Nevertheless, vinyl continues to prevail over other formats of physical music, continuing to retain its devoted following. </span></p> 4051<p><span>The vinyl format has prevailed over time due in large part to the collectible nature of records and the enjoyable experience of putting on a physical copy of one of your favorite albums. Even as digital music has continued its rise, devoted fans of analog sound have stayed loyal, and vinyl has continued to pick up scores of committed listeners in the last decade.</span></p> 4052 </div> 4053 </details> 4054 4055 4056 4057 <details class="lesson"> 4058 <summary class="lesson__summary"> 4059 <div class="lesson__arrow"></div> 4060 <h5 class="lesson__summary__subheading text_body_md"> 4061 Lesson 4 4062 </h5> 4063 <h4 class="lesson__summary__heading text_heading_lg"> 4064 Why Vinyl Records Are Loved By DJs And Producers 4065 </h4> 4066 <div class="lesson__brief text_body_md"> 4067 <meta charset="utf-8"> <p><span>Vinyl records, especially those in the hip-hop genre, have long been loved and collected by DJs and producers.

This technology has been refined over the years but is still used today to produce the records that you listen to at home based on a master recording.</span></p> 4110<p><span>Each vinyl record is a re-pressing of an original master copy of an album. This master is used as the reference point for all pressings of an album. A machine equipped with a precise lathe etches grooves into a lacquer master, each of which will produce sound when a pressing of a record is read by the needle of a record player. This process is completed for both sides of a vinyl. The lacquer masters for side A and side B of a record are then prepared to be copied in large quantities. </span></p> 4111<p><span>Using a technique known as electroplating, a lacquer master is copied into a format that can withstand the rigors of mass reproduction. These electroplated copies of the master are known as stampers. The stampers are hydraulically pressed onto hot vinyl. Each pressed copy of the stamper is then cut and shaped into an individual vinyl record.</span></p> 4112 </div> 4113 </details> 4114 4115 4116 4117 <details class="lesson"> 4118 <summary class="lesson__summary"> 4119 <div class="lesson__arrow"></div> 4120 <h5 class="lesson__summary__subheading text_body_md"> 4121 Lesson 2 4122 </h5> 4123 <h4 class="lesson__summary__heading text_heading_lg"> 4124 Vinyl Weights 4125 </h4> 4126 <div class="lesson__brief text_body_md"> 4127 <meta charset="utf-8"><span><p>An important aspect of vinyl to understand is the weight of a record.

Turntables are available in a wide range of prices, with some costing under a hundred dollars and others running for several hundred or even thousands. Before you choose yours, make sure you know the major differences between record players in the various price ranges. You can find a good turntable on a budget, but some are certainly better than others. </span></p> 4211<p><span>As a rule of thumb, most turntables that cost less than a hundred dollars are relatively cheaply made and may even damage your records. The entry-level price range for a high-quality turntable is usually between one and four hundred dollars. Turntables in this price range and above should be durable enough to run well for years. </span></p> 4212<p><span>In addition, a high-quality turntable should not put your records at risk of damage over time. Some cheap turntables have needles that are poorly designed and will put too much force on records as they spin. These turntables typically will not last nearly as long as higher-quality ones, which can often offer reliable use to listeners for decades. </span></p> 4213<p><span>A record player past the entry-level price range will usually run between four and seven hundred dollars. These turntables are investments worth considering for any audiophile, someone who is committed to getting the best possible listening experience out of each album they own. </span></p> 4214<p><span>The major difference between turntables in this price range and those below it is in sound quality rather than build quality. A two hundred dollar turntable may have just as durable of a build as a six hundred dollar one, but it will likely not produce sound of as high of quality when hooked up to a good stereo and speakers. <br></span></p> 4215<p><span>For entry-level record collectors, one of the best turntables on the market is the Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-GM. Priced at $100, this record player is well-built and affordable enough to satisfy the constraints of a tight budget.
4215<br></span></p> 4216<p><span>If you are looking for a turntable that can stay with you for years to come as you progress on your record collecting journey, the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC is a great option. Priced around $450, this is definitely an audiophile-grade turntable. If you have a more flexible budget for your listening setup, it is well worth it to invest in the Carbon DC or in a turntable in its price range. <br></span></p> 4217<p><span>Ultimately, the rest of your gear (your stereo and speakers) will make a major difference in sound quality as well, so it is crucial to make sure you have enough space left in your budget for a good sound system. </span></p> 4218 </div> 4219 </details> 4220 4221 4222 4223 <details class="lesson"> 4224 <summary class="lesson__summary"> 4225 <div class="lesson__arrow"></div> 4226 <h5 class="lesson__summary__subheading text_body_md"> 4227 Lesson 2 4228 </h5> 4229 <h4 class="lesson__summary__heading text_heading_lg"> 4230 Why Needle Quality Matters 4231 </h4> 4232 <div class="lesson__brief text_body_md"> 4233 <meta charset="utf-8"> <p><span>A record playerâs needle, also often called its stylus, contains a piece of hard, unrefined diamond.

One of the most important components of your turntable is its cartridge. A well-made cartridge can account for a large portion of the cost of a good record player and is well worth the investment.

Speakers are often more of an investment than a turntable and are as important to your listening experience as a high-quality turntable. As for a preamp, some turntables come with a preamp built in. If this is the case, you will not need to add an external one to your setup and can simply pair your turntable with speakers. </p> 4263<p><span>The best way to determine whether your turntable is equipped with a built-in preamp is to attach it to speakers and see how a record sounds. Without a preamp, your turntable will not be able to reproduce good-quality, loud sound even when attached to speakers.

Taking good care of your records gives you a sense of ownership of the music you love and will allow you to enjoy them for decades to come. </span></p> 4310<p><span>One of the most important pieces of gear every record collector needs is a vinyl cleaning brush. This tool is equipped with special bristles that will help keep dust and dirt off your records and can be used for buffing out small scratches. If you have plans to collect vintage records, you will especially want to make sure that you have a brush handy to work on restoring them to as good of condition as possible. </span></p> 4311<span>When it comes to taking care of your records, a gentle touch is key. Vinyl is fragile, as are the other components of a record like the jacket, sleeve, and any inserts. Each of these items deserves to be handled with care and routinely cleaned. In addition to cleaning and restoring records, proper storage is a must. Many record collectors opt to house each vinyl in a protective sleeve. Sleeves keep records safe from exposure to dust, dirt, and other debris, and they can be used to protect records that do not have jackets. </span> 4312 </div> 4313 </details> 4314 </div> 4315 4316 </details> 4317 4318 <details class="course"> 4319 <summary class="course__summary"> 4320 <div class="course__arrow"></div> 4321 <h3 class="course__summary__subheading text_body_lg">

Since many newly released albums are available on vinyl, you can often find records by your favorite active artists at a record store just a few shelves away from classics from decades past.<br><br>There is a strong case to be made for starting out your collection with both old and new records. Rare copies of older albums are often prized by collectors, but there is still a place in every collection for newer releases. <br><br>Many diehard record collectors diligently seek after older pressings of classic albums, admiring them for their rarity, collectibility, and unique sound. Older pressings of records, especially albums from the earlier half of the 20th century, are often mixed in mono, meaning they will give you the same signal out of both your left and right speakers. For audiophiles, a mono mix of a classic album is desirable because it gives the listener the original intended sound as opposed to a stereo remaster. <br><br>However, one of the major drawbacks of buying vintage records is the potential for years of wear and tear to reduce the quality of your listening experience.

You can display the jackets of albums that you have on heavy rotation while keeping the records themselves available for listening. Just make sure you have protective sleeves handy to keep LPs safe from scratches and dust when their jackets are on display.</span></p> 4386<p><span>Adequate </span><a href="https://thesoundofvinyl.us/products/vinyl-styl-groove-record-carrying-case-graphite" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span>storage</span></a><span> for your vinyl collection is also a must. Records need to be stored vertically instead of stacked on top of each other. The weight of a stack of records can cause LPs at the bottom to be warped by the ones on top. Instead of putting your records at risk of damage by stacking them, find a storage unit that can safely store your albums in a neat line. This will ensure that you avoid all potential warping and damage from improper storage.</span></p> 4387<p><a href="https://thesoundofvinyl.us/blogs/vinyl-101/how-to-store-vinyl-records" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span>Record storage</span></a><span> does not need to be expensive, and you can even repurpose pre-existing storage in your home to make room for your growing collection of albums.

Because your turntableâs needle is running through the grooves of a spinning record, any interruptions from scratches or debris will disrupt the smooth, clean playback of the album. Some scratches are so deep and severe that they will render a record unplayable. Others will simply degrade the sound quality, adding unwanted noise and occasional disruptions.<br><br>If you are dealing with a particularly dirty or damaged vinyl record, there are special steps you can take to care for it and get it into listenable condition. The first step to take is gently dry brushing both sides of the record along its grooves. Using a dry brush will get rid of any surface debris without further damaging the record. In addition, buffing out small scratches can be accomplished through dry brushing, although larger, deeper scratches will usually need more heavy-duty attention. <br><br>For deeper dirt and damage, a record-cleaning solution is your best option. Using a specialized cloth, a small amount of solution can be used to wipe the record clean. This is a good second step after dry brushing and can act as a precursor to heavy-duty scratch removal work.<br><br>When it comes to severe scratches that have made a record nearly unplayable, there are only a few DIY options for repairs. Many record collectors have attempted to fix scratches by using a toothpick to dig out debris embedded in damaged areas on a recordâs surface. Others will put wood glue on re
4409cord scratches, then peel it off to even out the surface of the record. Unfortunately, both of these scratch removal methods come with an inherent risk of causing further damage to a record. This is something you obviously always want to avoid, and if you do not think you are equipped to adequately deal with severe damage to a record, it is often best to leave it alone.</p> 4410 </div> 4411 </details> 4412 </div> 4413 4414 </details> 4415 4416</div> 4417<style data-shopify>.guide { 4418 background-color: var(--color-gray-100); 4419} 4420.guide > details:last-of-type { 4421 border-bottom: 1px solid var(--color-gray-400); 4422} 4423.course { 4424 border-bottom: 1px solid var(--color-gray-400); 4425 display: flex; 4426 flex-direction: column; 4427 justify-content: center; 4428 align-iteme: center; 4429 padding: 0 2rem; 4430 position: relative; 4431} 4432.course, 4433.lesson { 4434 cursor: pointer; 4435} 4436.course__summary, 4437.lessons { 4438 max-width: 1250px; 4439 margin: 0 auto; 4440} 4441.course__summary { 4442 padding: 2rem 0; 4443 position: relative; 4444} 4445.course__summary__heading { 4446 font-weight: 400; 4447} 4448.course__summary__subheading span:not(.course__summary__subheading--num) { 4449 font-style: italic; 4450} 4451.course__summary__subheading--num { 4452 color: var(--color-gray-500); 4453} 4454.course__summary__subheading, 4455.lesson__summary__subheading { 4456 text-transform: uppercase; 4457 color: var(--color-gray-400); 4458 margin-bottom: 0.5rem; 4459 font-weight: 700; 4460} 4461.course__arrow { 4462 background-color: var(--color-gray-400); 4463} 4464.course__arrow, 4465.lesson__arrow { 4466 position: absolute; 4467 top: auto; 4468 right: 1rem; 4469 padding: 8px; 4470 border-radius: 50px; 4471 transform: rotate(45deg); 4472} 4473.course__arrow:before, 4474.lesson__arrow:before { 4475 content: ""; 4476 display: block; 4477 position: relative; 4478 height: 8px; 4479 width: 8px; 4480 left: -1px; 4481 top: -1px; 4482} 4483.course__arrow:before { 4484 border-right: 2px solid white; 4485 border-bottom: 2px solid white; 4486} 4487.lesson { 4488 background-color: white; 4489 margin-bottom: 1rem; 4490 border: 1px solid var(--color-gray-300); 4491 position: relative; 4492 padding: 1rem; 4493} 4494.lesson__summary__heading { 4495 font-weight: 400; 4496 margin-bottom: 1rem; 4497} 4498.lesson__brief { 4499 position: relative; 4500} 4501.lesson__brief:after { 4502 content: ""; 4503 height: 25px; 4504 left: 0; 4505 bottom: 0; 4506 position: absolute; 4507 width: 100%; 4508 z-index: 1; 4509 background: rgb(255,255,255); 4510 background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(255,255,255,1) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 100%); 4511} 4512.lesson__content p { 4513 margin-bottom: 1rem; 4514} 4515.lesson__arrow:before { 4516 height: 10px; 4517 width: 10px; 4518 border-right: 2px solid var(--color-gray-400); 4519 border-bottom: 2px solid var(--color-gray-400); 4520} 4521details > summary { 4522 list-style: none; 4523} 4524details > summary::marker, /* Latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox */ 4525details > summary::-webkit-details-marker /* Safari */ { 4526 display: none; 4527 outline: none; 4528} 4529.course[open] { 4530 border-bottom: 0px solid var(--color-gray-400); 4531} 4532.course[open] .course__summary__subheading--num { 4533 color: #0FADFF; 4534} 4535.course[open] .course__arrow { 4536 background-color: #0FADFF;; 4537} 4538.course[open] .course__arrow, 4539.lesson[open] .lesson__arrow { 4540 transform: rotate(-135deg); 4541} 4542.lesson[open] .lesson__arrow:before { 4543 border-right: 2px solid #0FADFF; 4544 border-bottom: 2px solid #0FADFF; 4545} 4546.lesson[open] .lesson__brief { 4547 display: none; 4548} 4549.lesson[open] .lesson__summary__subheading { 4550 color: #0FADFF; 4551} 4552@media screen and (min-width: 768px) { 4553 .course__summary { 4554 padding: 2.5rem 10%; 4555 } 4556 .lesson { 4557 padding: 2rem 10%; 4558 } 4559 .course__arrow, 4560 .lesson__arrow { 4561 right: 10%; 4562 } 4563} 4564</style> 4565</div></div> 4566 4567 4568 4569 </div></section></main> 4570 4571
