There must be a closet Shite here who has purchased or heard a “One Step”. Is there any validity to this snake oil? Is there really a noticeable difference?

I heard a couple over the years. It’s just really quiet vinyl with less surface noise. Whether a digital source or not, a record with less noise is going to sound more detailed. But of course all the shites think it’s the “analog cream” or whatever that they’re hearing. I get some joy knowing that all along they’ve probably been hearing the “stunning analog detail” of a 24/96 digital file.

I finally did it today, guys.
I realized I'm almost 40 years old, I have albums, cassettes and CDs and a stereo downstairs that I almost never use. I'm getting married in a month, we plan on having a child, we are doing renovations to the house, I work a lot, I'm just busy. So I scooped together a big stack of them and hauled them off to a record store. I just don't use those things like I used to. I have earpods, I bought YouTube premium, I just don't need that shit anymore. Walked out with a nice chunk of change, it can go toward something we need. I feel less SHitey already.
Although, I did see a copy of Ringo's Rotorooter but just couldn't bring myself to buy it.

You mean you didn’t move the analogue upstairs and leave the digital downstairs?

Nope. Just realized I didn't give a shit anymore. When am I really gonna sit down and listen to a beat up copy of a 40 year old album on a 35 year old stereo? Just don't have time anymore.

Not giving a shit can be quite liberating.

One probably didn't have 100 hours on it. I found myself getting rid of some spare hifi when our first was on the way. It felt good that it wasn't a priority.

I don't know how you guys can stand those diatribes. It's some page long bullshit that could be summed up in a paragraph.

Someone posted this "Onion lyke post" and CBackley is concerned (this has already been zapped by the looks of things).
