The Vinyl Collector's Thread

That's because they apply filters and op-amps to diminish noise resulting from imperfections in reading the media. That's not necessarily an indication of preservation of the original tone, it just makes the music sound better.

As far as fidelity goes, you're not going to notice a difference between new vinyl and new CDs. That's just the way it is.

i agree with you on that, but cds are more compact easier to handle less of a burden can have cooler packaging a lot more compatible with everything

but i'll say this i still like vinyls for some reason but i don't think i'd replace my cds with them, they're kinda like using a really old tick-tocking watch over a simplified digital watch

I don't own a digital watch ....
It was sort of a big deal to get out the record player and listen to the Christmas albums when I was littler, so there's always that "holiday" feel for me.

I don't normally bother with vinyl but in this case I just.... couldn't help myself.

Free worldwide P&H worldwide if preordered.

Ended up at around 24 Au per vinyl. Can't find any locally that sell the albums for a comparable price, and if I found a better one on Gemm or Discogs they generally come with 10 bucks P&H from overseas. 180 grams, First Peel session, first EP, S/T, Spleen and Ideal. Second box set coming out early 2011.

After years of the cd craze, I'm once again purchasing and listening to LPs. Records are made to be played not sitting around collecting dust. The CD has overwelcomed its stay.

I have about 600 now and I got say it took a huge chunk out of my finances.. but I'm sure it will have a much higher return down the road

How many Lps does someone buy in a week?
