coffee shops seem similar to bars in that you pay a premium price for a beverage you can get at other places for cheaper

a lot harder to get laid at a coffee shop, though

as an anxious person, i don't understand paying extra for the atmosphere surrounding my caffine intake

You would if you lived in some coffin of an apartment. Consider it renting a decent lounge. The change of atmosphere from private to public is also refreshing.

I generally get something to eat with my coffee, though, so it's not just sipping, and I have something to read, so I hang around for maybe an hour.

You have a point. However, why you would want to lug a typewriter around out in public is beyond me, they're bulky and weigh enough for it to be easier to leave at home. I'm guessing the only reason one would do this is for looks.

Coincidentally, I have an old Royal manual typewriter. I don't use it that often, because it sometimes jumps two spaces after typing a character. It's really annoying.

>> No.4562022

>>4562003
I mean if you're implying a correlation, who knows. I haven't encountered many of either kind of person to make that judgment.
Those who use typewriters in public though, just want you to be aware of them typing something; like their Andersonesque screenplay that will never be finished.

Using a typewriter is fine. There are fewer distractions with a typewriter than a computer so some prefer it.

Using one in public is just unforgivable. Might as well start writing with a quill pen to show everyone how cultured you are.

>> No.4562118

>>4562028
it depends on what type of stereo you have connected to your vinyl player. some songs legitimately do sound nicer on vinyl. the better the stereo you are using to play them, the better they sound. my computer speakers/headphones are pretty low-tier so the few records I do own sound much nicer than they do on my computer.

CDs are good enough now that there isn't typically a difference. In fact, a lot of vinyl prints use the CD as a base rather than the master, so you can't possibly be getting anything more than what the CD has.

For older stuff, that is things printed before CDs were a thing, vinyl will sound better, scientifically. Newer stuff, usually not so much.

I will agree that the experience of hearing a record instead of a CD is, for me, preferable. Maybe it's just the "ritual" of putting a record on that makes it seem better, or maybe record players have better sound systems than most people do on their speakers

Apparently so. But I still think, that CD doesn't clip soundwaves by default and that it's always a decision made by the producer.

>>4562179
>>4562249
>>4562265
Do you have any idea what clipping is? Probably not because nothing you say makes any fucking sense, so here goes: it's when the source doesn't have enough current and/or voltage to handle peak outputs so it "cuts" the soundwave. The dynamic range affects how sustained and big these peaks are (loudness war is related to this).
Clipping has nothing to do with analog or digital (there are DACs to handle this anyway). It has to do with the source i.e. the amp (e.g. in your computer).

>> No.4562319

the way "clip" was used in the original post has nothing to do with the audio issue of "clipping"

So "clip off peaks of soundwaves" doesn't mean clipping while being the definition of clipping. Makes perfect sense.

you're just kind of a dope. "Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven and attempts to deliver an output voltage or current beyond its maximum capability"

again, nothing to do with cutoff frequency, which is a bandwith issue which is related to digi vs analog.

You know, there's a poet called Nicanor Parra, he used to say typing machines, where in fact time machines.

He said language could bring to the presence of our spirits, what had happened long time ago, or even what was happening in places far away from ourselves.

And I say there is a poet, even if for us he is dead, because if typing machines are what he used to say, he is right now enjoying the worlds he created while using it.
