Vinyl sales are still on the rise in 2015

May 7, 2015 Comments Off on Vinyl sales are still on the rise in 2015

“While vinyl’s uptick provides an uplifting story within an industry on the downturn, vinyl sales are still a niche market. In the US, vinyl sales made up just 3.6 percent of all albums sold last year, according to Nielsen. Globally, vinyl sales account for only 2 percent of industry revenues, according to the IFPI.”

“The raw frequency variations are well in excess of previous measurements but more troubling is the lowpass filtered results (green line), which compensates for test record eccentricities. It should be a relatively straight line.”

“Unusually, the platter rides suspended on a patented Clearaudio magnetic support bearing which features a precision, low friction, ceramic shaft in a sintered bronze bushing to keep it running noise free, true and vertical. The weight of the platter causes the height of the bearing to drop slightly under its weight on a magnetic cushion, so that the platter floats on an invisible spring.”

” The ability of a turntable to move the music along rhythmically has somewhat to do with speed consistency but another factor is it’s ability to handle low frequencies without getting them “mixed up”. The amount of energy, especially low frequency energy produced at the stylus/groove interface is great, despite RIAA bass roll-off. That energy travels both into the tone arm and into the record, platter and plinth.”

” In the ending Manteca, the implacable beat of the most talented jazz bassist together with the most talented pianist gives a joyful and gratifying sound to the listener. The happy union between inspiration and technique, the involvement of the musicians, the quality of the sound, makes this album one of the best experiments of excitement in jazz. The essence has been extrapolated by the Paris, although with some limits concerning the naturalness of the musical message, the fullness of the scene, the timbric balance, the clearness and stability of the image. I did not expect more.”

“Hayarobi has not made very much information on himself public, but we assume from his record collection in videos that he’s a bit of a vinyl nut. As we reported earlier this year, vinyl record sales have had an unprecedented resurgence to the tune of nine million records, so there’s no better time to start experimenting with turntables of all shapes and sizes”

“the CP-1050 sounded crisp, clear and dynamic. The soundstage was wide and bass definition was excellent. Even with the standard phono cartridge, the CP-1050 sounded better than my Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray player spinning CDs”

” The VPI Classic 3 is an exceptional effort by a company that knows the analog landscape like few others. Arriving complete with the Classic 3 unipivot tonearm, an HR-X center weight, and a PRC ring clamp to fully flatten stubborn LPs, the Classic 3 is fast, lucid, and responsive. Rhythmically it has an upbeat, forward-leaning personality with excellent timbre and pitch definition in the low frequencies. The tonearm is also brilliant, with-on-the-fly VTA adjustability and removable armwands for the slickest cartridge-swapping in town.”
