v0lc0m85 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-02-2009, 10:08 AM

im just getting into it, i love the sound, its so much richer and deeper than a cd or digital. like the music has more depth. i have a cheap player now but plan to get a nice set up in the future (with a reciever with a nice eq, speakers, sub, cd/dvd, and hook it to my mac to play my itunes as well as my xbox 360.) i used to do car audio before i got laid off cuz no work, so im and audio freak.

any one else into it? collect vinyl?

id love to see some pics

i plan on getting some radio head, one of my favorite bands, as well as the classics, beatles i dont already have, hendrix, i have some doors and yes. i know a few local record stores who sell them used for a good price, as well as online.

Are you kidding me ? I love vinyl. I have a whole collection of them.

Most of my collection is old school metal, mostly thrash and death. But i have all sorts of old records from Frank Zappa to Deep Purple also.

I've snapped some pics of my favorite LP's (click to enlarge):

Thanks man

I actually just collect them, i never play them (well on rare occasions i play them on my moms crappy stereo). I own a Bang & Olufsen LP player, but i don't have an amp or any speakers. And i am content with compromising sound quality for the ease of digital music.

But don't get me wrong - i totally agree with you that vinyl sounds better, and if i had the money, i would buy a proper setup.

yeah eventually i will have some sort of home set up. once i have some money lol. when it comes to car audio i was a real sound quality freak, but i totaled my truck and now im driving my moms car with just some subs in it (2 12"s 1200w@1ohm) so untill i get my own car i wont have any mobile sound quality haha.

Yes I collect (but mainly listen). No reissues. No comps. Just crates of OG shit and unheard classics.
And you'll be able to find Beatles stuff quickly. I see them a good bit in the field. You can get a copy of most of their records for a dollar (unless its a rare).

All I got is some Sony turntable, but it treats me right, so no complaints here. It's probably my main source of listening to music, or I try to keep it that way.

Hell yeah, i've got quite a collection aswell.. Every Floyd album and lots of King Crimson

nicee to see some vinyl buffs! i just picked up 2 more records yesterday. i cant get enough of the sound, im a vinyl addict!

I was under the assumption that after even playing a record once the quality has degraded greatly? Any of you vinyl freeks able to clarity that for me?

Me and my friends were just talking about a little toy we found that you wind up. Then place on a record and it drives around playing the record. Pretty cool little concept.

My girlfriend and I have have well over 300 lp's and 45's. For the longest time we were pretty much spending our money on records. Her working at a record store didn't help much either. Later on when I can use her camera I'm gonna take some pictures to post. We both really wanna get one of those real nice technic's turntables, but they are so expensive.

Anyone else into 45's? I think they are a lot more unique, but harder to find now and days. At least for the stuff we are looking for.
