Ummm, wouldn't the reverse approach be a bit more practical? I.e. work out some real time processing to process digital sound so that it sounds like vinyl, without the pops and clicks? Surely this has long since been done?
Originally posted by Class A I once rigged up a DIY quadrophonic playback system (two-channel signal but the speakers were sufficiently different to imply some sound differentiation), turned off the lights and played "The Fall of the House of Usher". It was so scary, I had to turn the lights back on.
Oh, my. Oh, my, my! While Jean-Michel Jarre is my favourite artist (I have every reasonably obtainable album), The Alan Parsons Project is a very close second and I also have all of the albums, including the later Alan Parsons Band ones. One of my favourite tracks to blast is
La Sagrada Familia off the
Gaudi album. My love of Parsons came from my aforementioned sister and, if I recall correctly, my very first cassette was
Turn of a Friendly Card. I am also 99% certain the first time I ever heard "Tales" was, in fact, a playing of my sister's vinyl. Now there's a memory. Mum still has the teak wall unit that housed all the audio gear (and I think some of the gear, too).
