Re: Vinyls

HOYLFOK. Haha, I checked online and they cost about $40 a piece... I never figured they would be worth that much. Man, I got very lucky 0_0;

Re: Vinyls

My parents have a large collection. Thriller, David Bowie, Zep, etc. I'm mad they got rid of their record player; I wanted to take some of those for a spin! I've been looking at buying a turntable but they're way out of my price range

Re: Vinyls

And I thought The White Album & Thriller were a common item in a vinyl collection. I think my uncle or even my parents have one if not both.

Re: Vinyls

^ idem... These albums are some of the best sellers of all time! Weird huh

Re: Vinyls

I own a couple of albums on vinyl but don't actually have anything to play them on yet. Most of them came with "deluxe editions" of albums, but others were just limited edition shit I wanted to grab.

I've got uh
an original pressing of the 4xLP version of Hold Your Colour
a limited edition baby blue Busdriver 7"
180gram 2xLP of Eskmo's self titled album
the vinyl reissue of All Hail West Texas
and (unfortunately) the 2xLP version of Pendulum's Immersion (I could make some serious cash off this one though lmao)

might pick up the vinyl pressing of R+7 soon considering it comes with a cool free poster
more of a cassette collector myself though. cassette culture is some cool shit

Re: Vinyls

Cassette looks pretty cool... But what appeals me in vinyls is the biggass artwork

Re: Vinyls

I personally like to go for quality over quantity in any collection. Unfortunately for me, I'm not so much of a vinyl guy (although I think the format is esthetically pleasing), and I'd rather have a smaller disc library that can actually be transferred to digital over vinyls which have limited use.

lol? you can do this with vinyl.

There are a load of inexpensive players that are still good enough.

Re: Vinyls

My point is this. The time and money you spend on ripping vinyls are considerably more important than what CD offers. Plus, considering the process of transfer, there's no point of doing it if you don't already own an important collection with some rare to find records you'd like to read digitally.

I should have added "that can actually be transferred to digital over vinyls without trouble".
By the way, I've had a friend that agreed to sell me a full analog set for a nickel but he kept it in the end. I'm still bitter about it for good reasons.

Re: Vinyls

Last vinyl I bought was duality from flylo. The sleeve was scuffed up with pressure marks when I received it which kind of pissed me off. Looked like it had been stacked flat for weeks.

Re: Vinyls

the allure of vinyl for audiophiles is the unmatched warmth of sound that vinyl can give you. I haven't been able to compare vinyl vs cd quality digital sound on a high end system, but I'm open to the idea.
That said there is something very convenient of one hard drive storing all your music at lossless quality and having that connected to a high-end system

Re: Vinyls

The only record I own is Surfin' Bird by The Trashmen. I got it for Christmas a few years ago.

Re: Vinyls

Just dropping in to say that averaging the worth of vinyls as 10 dollar per vinyl is pretty silly. Unless he was collecting coveted records (e.g. daft punk vinyls, common as fuck but still a decent price) or rare and obscure records that have a fanbase that's willing to pay obscene amounts (e.g. boards of canada original vinyls or something like that), common second-hand vinyls are usually worth like 2 to 3 bucks lol. Maybe even less since the sleeves all look pretty beat up.

Nah. They're in pretty good shape. I'll get some pictures someday, you'll eat your hat! Remember I got this for zilch. It's a much better deal than anything I ever bought in my life, monetarily, I'm pretty sure.

Re: Vinyls

I now have a functional vinyl player. I have about six vinyls right now, so I'm happily playing them! So much joy. :3
