this fantastic mod: armed with a vintage vinyl record cutter, Aleks Kolkowski attended Manchester’s Futuresonic 2008 festival, burning audio files for festival goers on old, discarded compact dics and making them capable of being played on any old phonograph. Golden-eared audiophiles will now have a new aspect to consider in the Vinyl vs. CD debate: does a record CD sound better than vinyl?
