I love the sound of vinyl, but not the hiss, snap, crackle, and pop. Can we do something about that in this age of technology?

Sounds like shake, rattle, and roll, Barry.
I could go to full albums on YouTube and listen to a lot of stuff that interests me, but it just doesn't sound interesting enough, now I know why.

I have always been involved in music and loved it which explains my efforts in playing the guitar and lap steel.
However I have found myself listening to less and less recorded music because it was sounding flat or bland, it lost it's emotional dynamics.
As much as I like music, listening to recorded music doesn't hold my interest much any longer.
Now I may have an idea as to why.

One thing he mentioned is people not listening to the whole song before clicking to the next. I don't believe the music quality of MP3's has as much to do with this as just the ability to switch to the next song.
I mostly listen to CD's and now that I have a remote, I find myself doing this. With vinyl there were only a few turntables available to let the listener do this. The same with taped music.
Therefore we usually listened to the whole album or at least half of it. |

It's the many digital spaces, interruptions in what was the vinyl or tape's constant flow--hearing Barbra Streisand breathing on her first albums.
Sound is constant; digital media has a different way.

I can take a lowly guitar cable, plug it into a $500 USB2.0 DAW interface, run a 1kHz tone from the output to the input and the resulting recorded signal is -100(ish)dB noise and -100(ish)dB ( 0.00x % ) distortion.
This without even bothering with balanced connectors. |

There's also a big difference in sound, depending in which country the records were pressed. It's a science of it's own.
