Data and music
Does the boom from the analog discs come back?
In recent years, the world boom of analog discs has arrived. According to the Association of the Recording Industry of the Public Corporation in General of Japan, the national disk market is the production number of 2017 1063000 sheets. In terms of Amount, it was 1,916 million yen, the highest of the last 10 years.
You may have heard that sound quality is generally better than that of a CD, but what really differs is the recorded frequency band.
It is said that the frequency band that can be stored on a CD is up to about 22,000 Hz, while the analog record contains information of up to about 100,000 Hz. However, it is said that the audible human range is approximately 20Hz to 20,000Hz, so it does not make sense unless you notice the difference in sound. It seems that the parties other than the audible human range, the vibration of the air due to the sound and the force caused by it, are transmitted by other routes other than sound.
This is a great merit that can only be experienced with analog discs, and it can be said that it is the true emotion of the discs.
However, the care of the equipment, the deterioration of the plate, the difficulty of handling and the size can be disadvantages compared to the CDs and the data. (In the youngest generation of these days, this effort is quite new and many people enjoy it).
