Anyone do the vinyl thing?

Lately I have been thinking it'd be cool to get some dusty old vinyls, stuff like Pat Hare (well, more available than that) and a turntable.😎

I still have a turn table and CD player. Despite the pops and cracks, I think analog still presents a more realistic sound stage and imaging than digital. Of course, a lot of that depends on the quality of the recording to begin with.

"Many children and teens can hear frequencies above 18khz, but for most people they become inaudible by age 20

Clinically normal hearing in teens and young adults typically goes to about 16khz

That ceiling tends to persist for a couple decades, but the average volume needed to hear the highest pitched sounds steadily increases until the ability disappears

By age 50, most people have trouble hearing noise above 14khz at all, and at average volume the top end is usually closer to 11.2khz

By age 70, the average person hears sounds up to 9.8khz comfortably at normal noise levels, with a top end of around 12khz for loud noises"

@BizSuitStacy Haha, we're in our late 80s and most consonants are practically inaudible. The misunderstandings between us can get quite hilarious.
