I’m coming into this area as a practical and philosophical result of:
- me wanting to own my music
- CDs are barely being made
2.1. If they are - they’re not being shipped to my corner of the world - Torrenting often failed me in terms of variety.
However - I am absolutely ignorant about equipment, maintainance, and know-hows of the audiophile world.
What’s this about?
vibrations from the speakers can cause unpleasant noise and distortion or even cause the record to skip.
Most likely so that the vibrations from the speakers does not interfere with the records playback. As the needle should touch the LP as lightly a possible.
Oh okay. I grew up with vinyls. I never noticed anything of that sort, though I admit that the turntable wasn’t too close to the speakers. I’ve my clumsy 10-year-old ass did bump a few times into the player, causing it to skip. It was just part of life back then.
Speakers vibrate. You don’t want vibrations getting to the needle or you get feedback.
You also don’t want the player moving around as it can cause the needle to jump.
Ok, thanks. I thought it was something else.
