colored vinyls

[ReakZ]

Again i dunno if this the right forum,but its my fav :)
thats why i post this thread here,so..i start from braging that i have blue,black,white vinyls :lol: ..i've heard the rumors that black vinyls have best sound quality but am not sure if it's true,maybe it's just a little pleasure 4 the eye ?

[anode]

yes Black vinyl is the best quality.

coloured and pic discs just look nice:)

[FuK-NuT]

coloured and picture discs are a pain in the arse....look nice tho ;)

[gary_human]

I loves me coloured vinyl me :lol:

have u heard that orane Fine Audio 41 by Kwass ? - sounds mega!!!!!!

I love it when you buy a record online, and then when you get it out of the sleeve at home it's a coloured vinyl. Ahhh... simple things....

[alsynthe]

coloured vinyls are just awkward, especially picture ones.

[gumpy green]

yup coloured look ok but try using em in a dark smokey club, there hard to see the start of tracks etc......dunno if its coloured thats the prob or the fact ther see through.

think a non see-through coloured would be ok....

[BloodStar]

got pink one,,grey,and my fav is one sided H1,.it's the BEST !! :rambo:

[BloodStar]

forgot,,i 've got also white,, LOL

[Obdurate]

Picture discs are apain in the ass, Espess when its dark you carnt see the track start and finish on the vinyl . . and ive noticed most my picture ones are either scratched or just sound poo

[dan the acid man]

why would the colour mean different sound quality then :doh: :eh:

[mindfunker]

Yeah I don't get that either how would the colour alter the sound? Surely its the actual wax thickness etc and how its cut that does that! :eh:

the best lookin vinyl I got is this Tortured one from about 3 or 4 years ago... Looks like a giant chainsaw blade of some sort or something....

[dan the acid man]

or for disposing of bodies, or is that just me :shock: :crackup:

[eyes without a face]

in general ive found the vinyl i have thats coloured to be ever so slightly lower quality, only a smidgen but ive never dug coloured vinyl, i think its something to do with the pigments of ink/dye on the record

but im probably wrong

[davethedrummer]

the good thing about white vinyl
is that you can write stuff on it in marker pen:

like " break here" and " no not this side you idiot the other side!!!!"

[dan the acid man]

ive not got any white vinyl, what about using a gold pen on black vinyl :doh:

[orac]

" no not this side you idiot the other side!!!!"

Note: You can do this on any old vinyl.

It will be harder to read on black.

i like my coloured vinyls cos i can sit at home with them with the lights on and touch myself, whilst looking at all the pretty colours,
but when i go out into the dark dingy parties, i cant make the colours out...so i get all confused :cry:

[djfilthmonger]

did u seen the glenn wilson with the robot graphics on one side there savage its like cut into it... i ave a blue record with libertor djs all friends electric .. its pretty old but i dont think a colour really makes ne differance

nah see through vinyl is weird, you can see the grooves from the other side, so when you think a tunes gonna break down it dosent as its the grooves on the other side... highly confusing

[MangaFish]

Everyone agrees that coloured vinyl is pretty but more tricky to mix on, but i'm still clueless as to why they would have lower sound quality.

At face value the idea seems absurd that the colour would affect the sound quality but, not knowing how vinyl is pressed, i'm willing to accept that there maybe a scientific explanation behind this. anyone?
