nooshinjohn 20 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hitting the thrifts this sunday to see if I can improve my collection from 1 to 2 or maybe 3 records LOL I hope you find a dozen or so favorite that you have not heard in YEARS... then you will have no choice but to grab a table and vinyl up.('|-| ') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean 384 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hitting the thrifts this sunday to see if I can improve my collection from 1 to 2 or maybe 3 records LOL I'm the same way. I've got a little bit here and there.... but this is where I have a problem. I've amased a VERY LARGE collection of digital, and I dont want to have to re-buy it on LP's. That and the added maintenance for me at least mean its not my primary listening. Its a "nostalgia" kinda thing I will pull out once in a while. Maybe someday when I am more dedicated to audio I will dive into LP's. But for now I will sit on my smartphone and queue up a bunch of songs from different CD's and switch between them while sitting in my computer chair drinking diet mountain dew, not getting up.

pindrop 330 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 How American of you Bean ++++agreed but I do have quite a few lp' s and agree with Travis that it is a calming ritual with sonic benefits at that time that seem to serve our audio nervosa better.

dazed_and_confused 194 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I wouldn't push anyone towards owning vinyl, there are plenty of good sounding formats around which might not match what vinyl can do, but come awfully close and are far more convenient. Some of the best sounding music I listen to comes from digital based formats that are not even supposed to sound good. That aside, I just sold my TT a couple weeks ago and regretted it immediately. I listed it on Audiocircle just to put my toe in the water and see if there was any interest. It sold in a couple days. Someone got a great deal on a $7500 vinyl rig and now I'm left wondering how I'm gonna replace it, and with what. Damn dirty hobby feeds my OCCD and other mental issues I have. One minute I think I'm free then I get drawn right back in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have offerd them a couple of Bucks to put it back-or asked if you could look at it then after studing the credits tossed it back to them and said"this ones no good just look at the studio and board mix) go back outside wait till they leave then see if it's still there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
