Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Charles Edward Roller has extensive experience in the direct advertising sphere, and is presently working with a health care firm and producing a monthly financial newsletter. Passionate about music, Charles Edward Roller has a stereo system that delivers the warm analog sound that traditional vinyl records provide.
Printing a vinyl record begins with creating a signal that forces a cutting needle to vibrate and move in soft lacquer, creating three-dimensional grooves. Electrolysis is then used to coat the lacquer with metal, such that it is hard enough to used as a stamper and turn hot vinyl into records.
This imprinted disc is read by a stylus crafted from sapphire or diamond, which is attached to a tone arm that coveys the sound to a cartridge housing coil within a magnetic field. These receive the vibrations and amplify them through the electronic technology of speakers.
The fundamental advantage of this process over digital is that it is analog and therefore lossless. This means that, unlike with digital, a decent record player will always provide a sound experience that is full-fidelity. Offering mid-range warmth, the vinyl reflects a physical manufacturing process that ensures that the listening experience is extremely lifelike. Even the surface noise caused by dust and the stylus moving over the grooves of vinyl has a sound that many enjoy.
In addition, vinyl has built-in limits to its loudness, which prevents the trap of over-compression and a flattening of sound that hinders contemporary recordings. Instead of being purely loud, the sound is dynamically ranging and full, which many audio purists consider to be a superior overall sound.
