The vinyl record market will never return to the size it once was, but in recent times it has recovered enough to revive an industry that seemed doomed to oblivion.
The analogue audio format has evolved a lot from a technological point of view, and compared to digital audio formats, they offer a different sound aesthetic.
A turntable is made up of three main elements: the "binomial" turntable and chassis, the arm and the pick-up capsule. The turntable chassis is the base on which the other elements are placed and which usually houses the motor and the drive system. The platter, on the other hand, is the flat, circular surface on which we place our vinyl records to be played. The arm is the bar that gently holds the stylus over the grooves of the record, and the pickup capsule is the small device at the end of the arm that houses the stylus, the element that comes into direct contact with the surface of the record.
Another essential component, although not actually part of the turntable, is the amplifier (phono preamp) which is tasked with amplifying the delicate and very faint electrical signal that the pickup cartridge is able to extract from the vinyl record. It may be integrated into, for example, an A/V receiver or a stereo preamplifier, or it may be a specific and separate component from any other.
A good turntable has to be able to get the vinyl record to spin at exactly the required speed, and in a completely stable way.
In addition, the arm we use must hold the pick-up cartridge on the record, while keeping the needle in contact with the record surface and applying exactly the pressure recommended by the cartridge manufacturer. The arm must be able to absorb any unevenness in the vinyl record so that the pressure changes it may cause are not transferred to the stylus.
Many of the turntables on the market today make the annoying background noise that used to occur in the past virtually unnoticeable.
It is also very important to equip your turntable with a good pick-up capsule. A good capsule is one that can offer a frequency response of 10 to 50 kHz +/- 1 dB and a separation between channels of more than 35 dB at 1 kHz.
MC (moving coil) and MM (moving magnet) capsules are the most common.
In MM capsules the movement of the needle acts directly on a magnet that sends the signal to a coil, and in MC capsules the movement of the needle acts directly on the coil. In general, MC cartridges are more accurate but have a lower output level than MM cartridges, so if you choose an MC cartridge, we recommend that you buy a good phono preamp to enjoy its full capabilities.
The main quality of vinyl compared to digital audio is the ability of this format to pick up absolutely all the information that the microphones captured during the recording of the musical event. This is possible because it is an analogue format and, unlike the digital options, it is not forced to scrap anything because it has literally infinite capacity. A CD, SACD or Blu-ray Pure Audio has a limited capacity, and therefore requires us to adapt the conversion process from analogue to digital domain to that capacity by limiting both the resolution and the sampling rate.
