 I know it's all the rage these days, and maybe that actually helps me NOT be a hipster, but I got a turntable for Christmas from my wife. I have it plugged directly into Powered Speakers (studio monitors) and here's what I'm noticing:
- There is more "space" on the records vs CD/MP3, the music is less condensed and I can hear the different instruments more clearly
- It feels warmer
- I actually listen to full albums (or at LEAST a full album side)....there is no random button on a record player
- Lots of my favorite bands are releasing records these days
- Vinyl ain't cheap!!
I'm up to 20 records so far...most of them just vinyl versions of some of my fav albums from my fav bands. Here is a link to my current collection and my wantlist (man it keeps growing!!!!)...

Anyone else here on the vinyl train? Thinking about it? Totally against it? Let's talk.

Haven't listened to vinyl in years. Cassettes, 8-tracks and vinyl is what I grew up with. Recording demos back then was reel to dat to cassette. When CD's came around everybody was talking vinyl is dead. Now look at us. I'll have to listen to some vinyl and get back to you before I can render an informed opinion.

I had a pretty good collection back in the day. I remember buying fandango in the 70's like it was yesterday. I'll bet most everbody here had a nice fat pile of vinyl back in the day. Anyway, I've heard the same thing about the vinyl sound from other folks as well.

I still have a milk carton full of LPs from the Seventies. I imagine they're in pretty bad shape, but I hear the newfalgled software thingies can eliminate pops, clicks and hiss.
So it's a thing, waiting for a time to happen and for the right TT to come along.

I agree, what a moron. Back in the day I would have swooped in like a thief in the night. |
