    With black vinyl it is easier to detect dust, scratches and the groove itself! I can see tracks and their gaps easier and see when the tracks have silent or bassy parts, where there's a lot of sounds etc.. As a DJ this is very useful and even for just purely listening purposes, it's useful, too.

The Slider is a silver coloured vinyl, Tanx is on a blue and pinky red split coloured vinyl and the Bolan Boogie one is blue and they look awesome.

    I always preferred black over coloured vinyl simply because the difference in surface noise. The coloured vinyl in the 80s was terrible and forget about playing picture discs.
    Strangely red and clear I found to be the same as black vinyl.
    These days though the quality is way better than the crap they used in the 80s and I find that coloured vinyl sounds pretty good so I am trying not to be as biased as I once was.
    80s vinyl was all crap simply to make the public switch over to cd.

    Well, I have a record label and talked to some pressing plants about this. For my net release I'm pressing 400 on black vinyl and 100 on crystal clear with white haze (to give it an ice effect) and I was told by Pirates Press that there is a LOT more surface noise from clear vinyl. They said its almost on par with picture discs, but any solid color will sound very close to black vinyl.

    • @Chris9183
      @Chris9183 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      There is absolutely no scientific reason for this though, unless they are pressing the colored/clear records badly compared to the black ones for some reason. Otherwise, all things being equal, there's no way color or clearness can affect the sound.

      @brianbarker1882 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think as far as current vinyl production goes, it's all in what the listener hears and believes based on what he or she has been told. There is a pressing plant that has a color chart available online ( don't remember the name at the moment ), that shows translucent colors being quieter than solid colors.
      I honestly don't care what color my records are as long as they sound as good as they can. I have never had any major issues with colored vinyl. In 2015, I purchased an album that was translucent red that was very noisy, I exchanged it for another copy ( it was only available on translucent red ) and it was fine.
      I even have a splattered white/black ( Weezer's Pacific Daydream ), and I was really surprised that it sounds fantastic with no clicks or pops while playing.

    I don't know if colored records sound better or worse but between some bands selling some to get you to buy their music even though the album is not that great and record companies using them as a way to make a few extra bucks on a sale, I follow a simple rule: the music on the album is the only thing that matters and if the colored version is availalbe at no extra charge, then why not. It's not like I stare at my turntable while playing a record.

    Hi Jarrett!
    Thanks for getting me into record collecting! I've been watching your videos for about a year and a half now, and I'm a big fan!
    I know you've made a few videos about colored vinyl, but in a future video, could you discuss the differences between opaque, translucent, and transparent vinyl? I feel like a lot of people and product descriptions get these terms mixed up.
    I also feel like there are so many variations of "clear" vinyl. For example, I have colorless transparent vinyl (i.e., my Urban Outfitters exclusive pressing of "Neotheater" by AJR), but some other records I have that are labeled as "clear" are actually translucent white (i.e., my first pressing of "Meliora" by Ghost) or even a translucent light blue (i.e., my "clear" pressing of "Pray for the Wicked" by Panic! at the Disco). Then there are terms like "coke bottle clear" (AKA "mint green") that really just mean that the pressing is tinted, transparent, or translucent light green.
    I'd love to hear your opinions on this, and I think this would be a great discussion to have on the channel!
    Thanks,
    Kelsey

    Great video! Well explained of what goes into actually making the vinyl whether black or coloured. People in my industry (pedal steel guitar) say black pedal steels sound better, which totally isn't true. It is the player, not the guitar, Same applies in the vinyl world. It is the set up and music, not the colour. Play a coloured record on a crosley and it will sound shite compared to the black record on an LP120 with brilliant speakers. Put them on the same set up either way and they sound the same.

    I personally have always found colored vinyl to sound quite good. There are only two factors I know that might possibly be valid…
    With colored records you know you aren't getting recycled vinyl, which was notorious for being more noisy. However, I don't know if anybody is even pressing recycled vinyl anymore. It seems to be a thing of the past.
    With black records it may be easier to see when your record is getting dirty. But if you wipe the dust off every time you play them anyhow, then it hardly matters.

  • @HammyTechnoid
    @HammyTechnoid 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It's been said by the audiophile community that colored vinyl has higher surface noise, thereby reducing the signal to noise ratio. A pure vinyl pressing is slightly transparent with a brownish tint. You can tell by holding it up to a lamp. If you can see the lamp just barely through the LP, it is pure vinyl, or close to it. Clear pressings do not apply as they are probably just clear plastic with some vinyl mixed in, typical of colored pressings as well.

    Hi Jarrrett, I thought that it’s impossible to compress music on vinyl because of it’s format. I thought it’s only possible on CD, and that why the vinyl generally sounds better than CD. Which way is spinning?

    Personally, I prefer black vinyl because it is much easier to see the lead-ins to the various tracks. That's important for a DJ, like me, or anyone just wanting to pick out separate tracks to play. Also, it is much easier to see dirt and dust that needs to be removed before playing. In essence, it's just more practical. But if having "pretty" records is your thing, go that route.

    Jared, I recently purchased the 20th Anniversary Goo Goo Dolls "Dizzy Up The Girl" on Purple Swirl Vinyl...and I have to say, it sounds fantastic!!!! My system has the Fluance Rt-81(Upgraded with the Ortofon Pro S Stylus/Headshell) with The Yamaha 303 Reciever...and Klipsch RP-150M Speakers...so you can imagine the sound would be pretty sweet!!!

    Your every correct Jarrett. I work in the plastic industry and the color is a additive to clear virgin material. What would would actually make a difference in the record at all is the quality of the pvc and how good the stabilizer additives are. There are additive's for UV protection, to prevent warping, etc the list goes on and on. One thing I do wonder is why the don't use anti static compounds in the resin like they used to. It's possible that there not allowed anymore for environmental reasons.

    As a polymer engineer for almost 20 years I can give more insight on the affects of color to resin. Not sure how this affects the sound of vinyl albums, but it may help in leading some of you in the right direction.
    The additives (color in this case) affects the performance, structure, and rigidity of materials. Colors are made from hundreds of companies in hundreds of ways. Some use synthetic and some use organic pigmentation. White can sometimes use mica or talc, which is abrasive and can scrape the lining of a barrel and pickup carbon build up, contaminates, etc. Blues and greens are a mixed bag. Some can be organic or synthetic. This plays a big role in post shrinkage. All this may affect the quality of sound produced.
    On top of all this PVC can be very toxic and gaseous when at melt temp. If left heated to long, it breaks down to a hydrochloric gas, which is poisonous and even oxidizes metals. This oxidation, if not clean properly, can leave micro contaminates in vinyl. I actually have bought brand new records that had a few spots skip due to a "chunk" of contaminate in the groove. The main thing with vinyl production is the quality of resin, color grade, machine PM, and strictness of quality inspection.
    I couldn't tell you if these record companies test the colors before choosing them. I hope they do.

    coloured vinyl looks so much cooler than black, so if you can get it i'd always go for a coloured version over black. Just say no to picture discs though unless they've fixed the sound quality issues with those recently.

    My biggest issue with coloured vinyl is that it is super hard to see if it is scratched or has any defects. In my experience, black or very dark coloured vinyl, allows you to better gage the condition it is in; so buying it on the second hand market is always a coin toss.. Needless to say, see-through vinyl is near impossible. You are absolutely right that it looks pretty, though! :)

  • @ChessIsJustAGame
    @ChessIsJustAGame 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Carbon black was added to vinyl to keep static electricity somewhat under control, but all my standard vinyl from the 1970's. through the early 90's still had ESD issues and needed to be controlled. Even small discharges would create snaps and pops, but not as much as particles/dust. And there's the rub, cleaning records often created static charges. So we use to clean and then attempt to neutralize static build up. Some people used that Zerostat, others conductive mats. I was in the second group. A good turntable's center spindle was usually grounded through a separate ground wire back to your amp. Not though the audio cables. both parts of the cables "floated" and were not grounded.
    That was then, I don't know about modern equipment with built in preamps, etc. Power cords back then only had two conductors. Most modern equipment probably has three, including a separate ground wire.

    I haven't noticed a tremendous difference between colored & black vinyl. But I have an 80's vintage Sony turntable w/ an optical size selector. Some transparent vinyl (e.g. Bush - Sixteen Stone, 20th) makes it think there's a 7" on there.

    Great video once again, also another interesting topic to discuss is vinyl reissues, a lot of them are recorded with digital tapes, and that makes the vinyl crap regarding sound quality, but are we able to understand that? thoughts?and tips to stay away from companies that reissue old golden records in order to take our money while not using official tapes. Cheers Jarrett!

    I as a plastics engineer can tell you, that recycling technologies have been improved so massively over the last few years that there is now nearly no difference between new and recycled. In fact, the diffrence is so little that you must have a stylus from a ced player, if anybody knows what that is :-). (Apologies for my poor english)

    In some pressing plants, they add pigment to clear dye to make coloured records. These records are a bit lower quality, as it sorta incorporates a grit into the vinyl. Especially the silver and gold records.

  • @Lakoopa2009
    @Lakoopa2009 ปีที่แล้ว

    Technically, color can matter at pressing factories. Black is the ideal color for pressing at factories. Different colors melt at different temperatures, so the workers need to set the machines' temperature depending on the color being pressed. But it doesn't really deter from the sound quality, just at the pressing factory, but if pressed wrong they won't sound as good.

    I always thought that colored vinyl is not offered in 180 gram; only black. In my experiences though, I have yet to notice a significant difference in sound quality between 180 gram and standard vinyl. So maybe 180 gram doesn't enhance the sound, but reduces warping of the record?

    I have several picture discs, and 2-3 of them sound very bad. One is the 12" Desolation Row by MCR and another is The Dethalbum 2. The dethalbum is insanely quiet, and MCR has insane noise. I can remember how bad/good any of my other picture discs sound. I haven't noticed my colored records sounding worse than my black ones. Both can sound equally bad for many different reasons though.

  • @Onteo1
    @Onteo1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've always liked colored vinyl since I was a kid and got some yellow 78's for my first records. I have a couple of thoughts / ideas I don't think you've covered yet. In the early 70's when I began collecting vinyl there was an often talked about theory that the white label promo pressings were pressed differently to make them sound better on the radio. But they supposedly wore out quicker. Not sure if it was the type of vinyl being different or way they were pressed. Any thoughts ??
    You just covered colored vinyl, what about etched vinyl ? I own a couple. The first being the Styx Paradise theater. I always thought that sounded pretty good.
    Great video as usual.
