There's a new music format that aims to deliver "the pinnacle of sound"

Despite just being a PVC acetate it's apparently the "first breakthrough in analog sound reproduction in more than 70 years" and will completely change the way you experience music. On an unrelated note, here's an article about how proficient ghost hunters are at analyzing patterns that aren't there and how they're pretty much full of shit. Bear in mind that absolutely none of this applies to audiophiles, who are indubitably the best and brightest the worlds of music and engineering have to offer.

"When describing the quality that raises analogue sound above digital sound, the word 'warmth' is often used. Analogue sound has more depth, more harmonic complexity, more resonance, better imaging. Analogue has more feel, more character, more touch. Digital sound is frozen. Analogue sound is alive."

I fricking hate analogcels. If your digital recording has samples more than twice the frequency that your ears can hear (which includes CDs), then there is no mathematical difference between it and the original analog. Literally zero.

Except the digital one can be copied infinitely, never develops any imperfections, and can be stored on like $0.01 of disk space (actually much less tbh).

I suppose I can't get too angry at a grifter, though. Some dumbass is gonna buy these things and claim it "sounds so warm!"
