A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

This is exactly how I feel too. When I want to listen to a record, it’s because I want to interact with the music. I have a whole process with my record equipment, stuff to mess with etc. Turntable, preamp, EQ, amp, speakers. Each is something I can play with. Records are very physical, I can see them and feel them to understand them. It’s a very interactive medium. I actually enjoy flipping the record. And I don’t care if it doesn’t sound as good, I usually buy cheap used records anyway that have a bit of surface noise. It actually feels warm and nostalgic, I enjoy that. It’s like listening to a live recording from the 30s or something. If I want amazing audio quality I’ll just get it digitally. When I listen to records that’s not what I’m going for, I’m going for the experience. It feels more human, where a CD feels clinical and sterile. That’s not how I want to describe an album, personally.
