And for those readers who have been curious about the resurgence of vinyl, Mike Harkins, an experienced professional with a career devoted to quality, reliability, and manufacturability of products, proposes an interesting project. Being a music aficionado long devoted to vinyl, he wanted to learn how good are today's audiophile vinyl records, particularly those expensive vinyl 180-gram or 200-gram pressings and limited editions. In "An Experience with High Quality Vinyl" Mike Harkins sampled a mix of very high-quality pressings of albums he ordered online, and even a Limited Edition direct-to-disc recording, in an effort to learn if these are "as good as has ever been pressed." Read the article to see the statistics and conclusions.
