If you have any friends who happen to be music snobs and obsessive audiophiles, you?re likely to have heard from them the argument that ?vinyl just sounds better.? You know the types, the ones who spend their weekends shuffling through stacks at their favorite record store like a character from High Fidelity.
But for those audiophiles, pirating their favorite tracks to pass along to friends has always been problematic. Before they can share their music, they have to ditch the antiquated record in favor of MP3s, CDs and tapes, sacrificing the soft fuzzy sound of vinyl that they love so dearly. Well, not anymore.
Mike Senese, the host of the Science Channel?s Catch It Keep It, has posted instructions on how to duplicate one side of a record and it doesn?t look too tough. Simply make a wood box that you adhere to a glass plate with window cement, making an airtight seal. Place the record in the box and pour some silicone that you?ve mixed over the top and smooth over the album. Once this dries you?ll have a mold to reproduce your record. Take your mold and pour in some liquid plastic and let it cure. After it sets, drill a hole in the center and pass along to a friend with a turntable.
I?ll be putting mine together as soon as possible, so my mom?s Barry Manilow and BeeGees albums won?t be lost to history.
