response: I see. Did you also know the records left mainstream in 1991. The digital media appearing in the late 80s grew in the market.
original_response: You're right! It's interesting you want to collect phonographs, because since the late 1980s, digital media/compact discs took over the market share and has had it since then
history: I think I want to start collecting old phonograph records I see. Did you know they're also called vinyl records as well? This classification excludes most made after WWII. I like them and think they are a cool addition to my other collections but do not know much about them Well, the way they work is they're an analog sound storage medium, right, and so it's a flat disc that has these spiral grooves that are inscribed and modulated onto the disc Oh I had no idea it was so technical please tell me what else you know about phonograph records Okay. The groove portion begins at the periphery usually. It then ends around the disc's center. I know you have to be careful not to scratch that because it will ruin the record
knowledge: By the late 1980s, digital media, in the form of the compact disc, had gained a larger market share, and the vinyl record left the mainstream around 1991.
