Vinyl records

I just set up my 1st phonograph based stereo system since the eighties. My uncle died and left me his new in the box cheepo USB model. So, I had my old Carver MXR 150 receiver repaired at Carver audio services this last week. I set it up last night with some Klipsch Forte 2's. It sounds awesome!

What records do I need to have? So far the classical stuff sounds the best. I'm gonna go hunting for more tomorrow.

Dark Side Of The Moon. I Can't remember a better vinyl/headphone experience than that.

I just got this killer Beta Max player!

Seems like a harmless hobby.

Vinyl/good components > digital fuckery all day long, punk.

Good idea. That should be an easy one to find. Those old records have dynamics that are missing in today's overly compressed digital formats.

I kept all of my old records, but it's a very small and narrow collection - my old kid stuff.

Meh. Can't carry a record player around in my pocket you fossil.

i've downloaded vinyl music titles posted on youtube, the sound is much warmer than mediocre mp3.

I still buy vinyl when it's available.

The new Tenacious D album will be released in vinyl with a code for free digital download for your ipod.

Man, I was at Chesapeake Bay for a wedding a few years ago. There was only one small hotel in this little town so we had to improvise because there were a lot of family in town. So one night I slept on my brother's boat. Another night we slept in this apartment over the garage at my brother's neighbor's house.

He had basically turned it into a man cave. He was a audiophile nut. He had this very expensive system in there. I think he said the turntable alone cost over $10,000. Since we were going to be sleeping there he had signs posted all over the racks saying "do not touch."

But while we were hanging out, he rolled a big joint and put on Dark Side of the Moon and I have never heard anything more awesome in my life. (And this from someone who grew up listening to vinyl LPs.)

I dl vinyl rips from avax + demonoid. It's amazing that some classic albums still haven't been given the treatment they deserve to sound their best. The recent Beatles remasters sound excellent. However, when I listened to The Beatles the other night, it nearly brought tears to my eyes because it sounded so great. For anyone that loves music and doesn't know, it really is a different kind of listening experience, and it isn't just nostalgia.

That sounds awesome. I have an old Fisher turntable that used to be part of my mothers stereo, I can't wait to clean it up and give it a home and use it. It just needs a cover because it used to be part of a rack system.

Check this out: Amazon sells vinyl now and even came up with new packaging to protect it for shipping:

Dude! That's the very first album I ever bought!

Get the 1st Boston album on vinyl. I used to be a HUGE Boston fan many years ago and had it. Sounds very, very warm and significantly better on vinyl.

That's a $500 cartridge.

holy crap.

Great album

It sounds like you're an audiophile who couldn't just buy a record player and enjoy it.
