Hello
what would be the ultimate analog format for home use ?
any of EA's tape machine would be fine but these are quite big and a bit pricey i guess.
This format would have a better sound than vinyl, would be smaller, one sided, and more resistant to time.
i don't blame the vinyl i appreciate them, but i feel 33 RPM is a bit small in 2004. i'd buy much more records if they were in that "Ultimate Analog format" as i have really no love for CDs.
in these days of MP3 madness what would be better than releasing a new high quality 100% pure analog format ? sure studios would have to follow the rule, but that would get me buying way much more records

2The best analog format for music is playing it your own damn self.

Is there any audio format (analog or digital) more "resistant to time" than vinyl records?
This is a serious inquiry!

5Couldnt there be something that read tiny little grooves or indentations in a rock hard piece of metal that you'd have to drive over several times to make even the slightest bit of damage?

6The 33 1/3 rpm long playing microgroove record is the pinnacle of that technology. Records have always been about fitting as much music as possible onto a side. What you have with the 12 inch 33 1/3 LP is as far as you can go with it. That's why there hasn't been an advance in that technology since they came out with the 33 1/3 LP. You want length, get an iPod and play it 24/7. You want quality audio, listen to records. You want the higest fidelity possible, play your own live music as suggested.
it's not the length, it's the gersch

The answer is no. Properly cared for and handled, your vinyl will outlast you.
