Vinyl records present a fun and classic way to listen to music and bring a certain energy into your home. Listening to music on vinyl is a pretty different experience from that of CDs and MP3s. From sound quality to the number of songs per side, there are many differences. The size of the vinyl record impacts the number of songs that can be played before the record needs to be turned. This article will explain more about what sizes vinyl records come in and how that impacts the listening experience.
A vinyl record is a plastic disc with grooves in it. The grooves are used to store information in the form of audio signals.
Users need a turntable (i.e., vinyl record player) with an amplifier and speakers connected to it to play back this information. When you place your needle on top of those grooves, it will travel across them as they spin underneath it at high speeds. The needle creates vibrations that are then converted into electrical signals using magnets inside your cartridge or stylus assembly (the part that holds your needle). These electrical signals go through RCA cables before reaching an amplifier, where the volume is raised so they can be heard clearly through speakers near you or directly next to them.
Now that you have a bit of a background about vinyl records as a whole, we can move onto discussing the sizes of vinyl records. Every prospective vinyl record shopper needs to know their records' size. Not all vinyl records are the same size, and if you're looking to buy new albums or want to make sure that they'll fit in your record player, you must know what size they are.
