Cool idea if you have a good original.
I wonder how much of the original signal is lost in the digital to analog conversion?

Its probably simpler and better to just reissue as a digital from the analog master.

I think vinyl sounds great when its fresh, but this is probably a goofy idea.

I don’t know about anyone else, but this kind of stuff just blows my mind.

I used one of these 3-D printers to make me a copy of a CD once...

I next loaded it with more ‘stuff’ and made a 3-D copy of a rice cake.

Tasted about the same.

Too weird for me!

I’m wondering if these printers don’t replace the local hardware stores. Need a replacement for something, just print one up.
