Damn! I Forgot How Good Vinyl Sounds.

Yeah and you have to replace them about 4 times a year cos that's about how long they last


Don't be a looser moran

Now you just need some ATC monitors and Bryston power.

What u talking about Willis? I have been rocking this vinyl for 40 years!

Minus the last 6 of course.

Vinyl is definitely better for classic rock and blues. The mixes are just more warm and lively. I heard one of Radiohead's latest albums on vinyl and I was pretty pissed off that I had spent money on their CD. The mixes on vinyl were 10x better.

Analog rocks

I just started my collection. I really love listening to them too

I had a similar realization but it wasn’t that I forgot it was more a discovery. The instruments sound like they are live and acoustically correct. It was astounding!

Yes, vinyl is still kicking ass! It is definitely the truest to live music. The sound is simply unbeatable.

And turn the speakers up to 11

Records derived from an all analog production chain are the best sound you will ever hear. Early to mid eighties we still had vinyl but the studios were recording digitally.

Mobile Fidelity specializes in getting the master tapes and staying true to analog. A good place to get high quality records.

Combined with vaccum tube audio system you won't find anything better.

Nothing like the sound of the turn table .

Here hear !

Listening to Supertramp's Breakfast in America now via Bluetooth headset. Had to kill the speakers as the wife went to bed.

I love these old classics. I would love to have a high end system to listen to these on but it just isn't practical for this small room.

So I will make due with what I have. This Pioneer receiver and turntable do quite well.

Pardon the mess, but I am in semi construction mode and am waiting to clean my components up upon completion.

I have an authentic analog record player. From the 70s. Arm got replaced but everything else is original. I play it only sometimes when I need to get my head right and plan.

It's not about respecting classics for being classics. It's respecting what it is.

It's the air in the sound. Has to do with how a lot of it was recorded. I didn't realize that until our band recorded a demo in the early 2000's. These young guys running the studio wanted to isolate us from each other. After hours of it not sounding right, I finally over ruled them - brought all of us into the same room. Every instrument was still recorded on a separate track, but the whole sound was behind it all. They were shocked at how good, how big it sounded. Nailed it on the first take. That is part of what is missing with digital.

I agree. I got about 3000 LPs now and spin 5-10 per day. For best results I recommend wetwashing prior to playback and I also use a stylus brush after each side. The analog sound has a live sound to it that digital just can't match. Even digitally recorded music can sound great when it's on vinyl. The analog vinyl playback is the most important part. I love acoustic suspension speakers with a solid state power amp with a tube preamp. Great for rocking out.

He needs something if he's listening to a soundbar and wireless speakers.

And analogue speakers, with real cones. Fuck that digital shit. Peace.

I don't know about that, but I got 2x 3 feet speakers with about 95 feet left of cord lol. I play it really low, volume about 1/3" from the left and it just sets a great mood for thinking no matter the music choice tbh.

Lol, you right, but it sounds good. Could it sound better? Yes, but it is all I have to work with for now.

Odd. I have LP's that are over 40 years old. They were played many times each, but have been boxed for decades until last year. The wife wanted to get a new record player (wireless now), and the LP's sound as good as new. None of those had been touched for about 30 years--a hundred of them at least.

You must have bought your records from China.

Well if you don't keep them in that waxed paper covers they get dusty and do dry out. I've had two already crack after just about a year and a half. :( That's when I learned about the special sleeves you can get for them.

My G/F has a vinyl bra and I love the sound it makes when I squeeze her B$%BS

Digital versus analog....analog wins everytime because digital results in a huge loss of information. Its man -made zeros and 1's versus Gods intention....

and when you start upgrading your needle/cartridge setup it will absolutely blow your mind as to how good it sounds

a good needle will reveal things you've never heard in recordings you've listened to hundreds of times

it's truly amazing
