I do not have a record player, although I am the mentality who would happily collect vinyl. I love having the physical product, and my first listen through any album is accompanied by reading  through all the notes and looking at the artwork. Also, let's face it, when it comes to the artwork, vinyl is THE BEST. It's a decent size for the pictures, and you can see all the little details in the cover.

So no, I don't collect vinyl, but a large part of me really thinks I should.
This is as exciting as superluminal neutrinos. The sexy thing is that this actually exists :D

How much did you pay for it?

I bought a record player recently, along with some records. I now own an amazing collection of 8 LPs. Just ordered a phono preamp from amazon so I'll be able to use the record player on my amp who does not have phono input.. Waiting for both that and ADTOE on vinyl in the mail!

Yeah, they're great. I love how you've got the more serious folks selling the expensive stuff but you can also get a decent record for $2 if you don't mind it not being perfect.

I was just getting into vinyl and was going to buy one pretty.  I'm just popping into this thread to ask, what kind of "accessories" are necessary for a turntable?  If you JUST buy a turntable, does it come with speakers?  And if you have to buy speakers, do you have to buy "turntable-compatible" speakers or does anything pretty much work?

So...what I've gathered is that I need:

1. Turntable device
2. Speakers
3. An amp (which I originally thought was just a giant speaker, but oh well...)
4. A subwoofer
5. ???
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

The amplifier is the "main" component of a music system - it's the module that receives the signal from all other modules (CD, tape, auxiliary input, etc) and to which the speakers are connected. You can think of it as a CPU or computer tower - all peripherals (mouse, keyboard) are connected to it giving it input data and it produces some output data (speakers and monitor).

The basic setup is Turntable -> Amplifier -> Headphones/Speakers. Some amplifiers do not have a specific turntable input though (Called PHONO) so you have to build a preamp which is a device that will convert the turntable signal to something your amplifier can understand. In this case, you would have a Turntable -> Preamp -> Amplifier -> Headphones/Speakers setup.

Thanks!

So uh...I don't have any idea wtf I'm looking at.

Could you recommend a cheap "starter" set?  I don't need the perfect home theater system or anything....just two good speakers with strong bass.

Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

H, just search on amazon for one that is in your price range and has good reviews. That's really the best way to start.

Also stay away from USB turntables (note: not turntables that also have USB, I mean turntables that are primarily USB input tables, made by companies like ION, etc.) The general idea is that they use needles that can damage your records.

New additions -

John Coltrane - Blue Train

SO JELLY.  I would love to have that on vinyl.

While we're on the subject, Blue Train is a fantastic album and more people should hear it.

I would kill to have some Queen on vinyl.

Even though I don't have a record player.

I'd still kill for it.

Queen on vinyl is pretty easy to find. Just go to any used record store...
