that is still the biggest misconception of vinyl ever. yes, a lot of old
vinyl sounds crappy. but if you have a decent turntable with needles, the
vinyl you buy today is of superior quality to the old pressings. even though
they still use the old technology, they develop as well. today they have
crackle-free coloured vinyl, for example. if maintained well and played with
decent needles, it should last a crackle-free lifetime.

we've compared the masters on our vynalogica label with the vinyl release.
the cd was cut to vinyl with a neumann machine, pultec eq's, etc. the vinyl
sounds much better, warmer and fuller than the original cd master.. in the
right hands this equipment can really make a difference.

buy yourself a decent not too expensive dj turtable and a good element/
needle. stuff like pink floyd is freshly pressed on vinyl again, last year
they did a beautuful DSOTM 30th anniversary. also all kraftwerk vinyl is
repressed again for all you old timers..;-)
