I've never even heard of him nor this film.
The only Michael Jordan I know was this rich prick of a basketball player.
Don't remember the brand but it was a Win 3.1 machine from Sears. It had a turbo button.
That sounds like hell on earth.
This is untrue. CD's have a much larger dynamic range; 96dB compared to ~70dB, depending on how the record was pressed.
The reason why people say vinyl is more dynamic than CD is because producers are forced to make vinyl records more dynamic, so that the needle doesn't fly off the record. With CDs there's no such limitation, allowing people to make the album as loud and dynamically compressed as they like.
Edit: I should also mention that the 44.1kHz sampling rate of a CD is enough to produce a perfect analog waveform all the way up to 22.05kHz, which as you know is beyond the limit of human hearing. If produced correctly, a CD will always sound better than vinyl. Problem is that CDs often aren't produced properly.
Because you don't have to factor in needle skipping, you can produce a loud record that distorts, either because you want to be the loudest song in the listener's music collection, or that you simply don't know/don't care about proper dynamics.
The distorted bass you're talking about is not because of the limitations of CD, but simply because the CD version was not produced/mastered correctly. Like I said, the sampling rate of CDs are high enough to reproduce a perfect analog waveform every time.
The reason the people choose vinyl is because of its limitations. CD has a larger dynamic range, but because it's fully digital, producers can abuse that fact and make an extremely loud and dynamically compressed record and the CD will play just fine.
If you tried doing that on vinyl, the needle would fly off the record. So thanks to this physical limitation, people who produce for vinyl are forced to make a quieter, more dynamic record. It's less fatiguing on the ears, and if you want a louder record, you can simply turn up the volume.
They only work for me if I take a much larger dose than what the label suggests, but I fear for my liver.
Maybe,
Maybe.
Last time I owned a $100 phone I regretted it dearly.
You get barely enough storage space to run the OS and maybe two apps, the Cracker Jack box CPU makes apps crash and the OS extremely unresponsive, and you get so little RAM that you can't even have anything running in the background. Your music literally stops playing just because you needed to read a text. Never again.
Up that budget to about $300-400. Couple of months ago I got a Samsung Fold 4 for that price; it's extremely responsive and has enough RAM and storage space to last me at least 5 years while still feeling nothing.
I went to one of these for the latest Indiana Jones film and immediately regretted it. The seats move way too much, and often during scenes when it doesn't make sense for them to be moving. I'm talking several feet of movement; the fuckers should have seat belts.
Also for some reason there was a strobe light to the left of the screen and it kept randomly going off for some reason. Never figured out what that was about...
