    The problem with your experiment and the VOC is too many of those meters are just plain BS. The they are eCO and ECO2 and have no way to directly measure each gas they claim to report…they are just calculated.
    Try this:
    Buy 3 of those meters.
    Not one of the 3 will produce a result close to the others. And the more they measure the worse they are.
    Science is supposed to be repeatable. These are not. You absolutely need an individual sensor for each gas it claims to report. These do not have that.

    Now: do this for DJ Mixers please.
    The same stupid analog arguments about how much better analog/a&h/rotary mixers sound warmer. Its ridicolus. And i've never seen any scientific test, which cant be that hard to do….

    The actual argument for vinyl is that vinyl was used to distribute music for decades, and a lot of that music only exists in that format. And the appeal is the used record store, which has the same appeal as a used book store: you can browse and find forgotten gems that you would never have come across and that you simply can't find.
    No idea why people buy new vinyl though.

    CDs is better tho right? Personally I don't use spotify etc. because they don't pay their artists fairly (and some of my favorite artists aren't even on spotify because of boycotting lol), so therefore I buy CDs instead. Is there some mayor health risk I'm taking without knowing it??

    As a musician and a tech guy, I find this gentleman extremely interesting. As a painter I have inhaled chemicals that I can only imagine, and as a construction worker I know that we have PVC fencing and all kind of PVC tools and products, but I also believe we all drink our water out of PVC pipes, not all of us, I would never drink water out of a tap. Everybody in the city has pooped and peed in that water already, that's gross

    As someone learning to do old school djing does suck to hear what the vinyls do to me. Generally I try to avoid new vinyls and I get used ones from charity shops and small record shops (and knowing my thats going to continue, just avoid adding new vinyls to the environment)

    Fuuuuck just as i'm starting my vinyl collection 🙁 As a DJ I think vinyl is a whole different way of playing and that's what I want to learn. I don't really think it's killing me any more than the drugs and alcohol anyways.

    (i will sacrifice myself so that somebody may survive because i bought the rare vinyl they wanted)
