Finally!

Now you can cut your own vinyl records with the Vestax VRX-2000!

...of course, it costs ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. Still, no price is too high for the ability to take your cold, soulless digital media and turn it into a tasty twelve-inch.

I'd be surprised if there's a lack of old equipment on the used market that can do that for far cheaper. Granted, you might have to pay a few hundred in consumables for each unique master, but $11000 ought to let you press a bunch of titles.

The real question is whether it's worth bothering to make vinyl from a digital source. Maybe it's worth it with higher sampling rates than a red book CD, and maybe it's worth it for the UI when playing back as a DJ, though.

And when I'm done with that, I'm-a buy me a Model T!

Your hiss, pop, and squeal free digital media, you mean. The only "soul" i hear on vinyl is the stuff that shouldn't be there. Thanks, I'll stick with lasers instead of going back to needles.

Well, sure. Distortion is bad. Unless, of course, it's good.

Darius' friend Josh... We met at his graduation thing, sort of briefly.
