Vinyl

[Jirpo]

Cool stuff!

[skydivingninja]

I don't think I've updated my collection in this thread since Christmas.  Well allow me to do so:

Bright Eyes-Digital Ash in a Digital Urn
Mastodon-Leviathan
Rush-Moving Pictures (!!!!)

I think the only albums from my top ten that I'm missing on vinyl are Frengers, In Keeping Secrets, and Images & Words.

Can you guess my age? 
For maaaany years, I did not buy any vinyl, but re-starting now. It's more a collector's thing than actually putting the vinyl on, though.

So I finally got a turntable setup, I'm loving it so far. Here's what I've got:

Steven Wilson - Raven that Refused...
Jucifer - За Волгой для нас земли нет
Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery
Chelsea Wolfe - Pain is Beauty
Giant Squid - The Icthtyologist
Elliott Smith - Either/Or

Thus far, Jucifer was really the album that blew me away sound-wise. RTRTS and PIB were both wonderful (as expected). Really though, everything's been awesome. Pics to come.

[PROGdrummer]

My own small collection:

Asia - Asia
Between The Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
Genesis - Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Genesis -  Duke
Boston - Boston
Yes - Big Generator
Yes - Fragile
Frank Zappa - In New York
Rush - Rush
Rush - Fly By Night
Rush - Caress of Steel
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery

and a bunch more that I cant remember at the moment

[Nihil-Morari]

Finally got around to buying a cabinet especially for my vinyl. Here it is, I'm really pleased, it makes it much easier to just take out a record and play it.

[Orbert]

Nice! 

[genome]

Might as well bump this, just got my first turntable and loving it. I only have three LP's, DT12, an original 1977 pressing of Seconds Out by Genesis and the $5.98 Garage Days Re-Revisited by Metallica (yeah, the rare one). All sounding great.

Going to a huge record fair on Sunday and hoping to bulk up the collection. Apparently Jimmy Page (who lives locally) goes to this record fair every time it's on to look for old Zeppelin bootlegs. I'll look out for him 

[Orbert]

Congratulations!

an original 1977 pressing of Seconds Out by Genesis

Awesome!  My first Genesis album, and still one of my favorites.

[genome]

It sounds great, obviously it's the original master, so nothing digital ever touched it! It's so dynamic!

[sneakyblueberry]

I lost all my vinyl in a house fire.  I had a ton of my favourite albums on vinyl, most of the Genesis records and had just bought a copy of So that I didn't even get to spin.

This thread makes me sad.

[Virtualman64]

I love vinyl,still my favorite medium especially with a good set  of headphones.To me CDs,and digital music just does not sound the same.Check out some new vinyl 180,or 200 Gram you will see what I mean.Just got a copy on SFAM the other day blows my mind!

[gazinwales]

The Moonsorrow box set has landed, this is what it looks like for the 'Die Hard' version, which is the most extensive and expensive.
The one I got does not have the t-shirt, and the vinyl is splattered colours.
I'm buying my new Rega 3 turntable today

Pre-ordered this sexy son of a bitch

[lucky7]

I was stupid enough to leave all my vinyl with my ex when we split up, it was only about 20 records but it was rare Satriani, Vai etc. 
So no all I have is Steve Vai Passion & Warfare and Music from the Motion Picture Untitled (Almost Famous)   

[ich bin besser]

My newest purchases:



A turntable (Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Premium) - and a model of the plane that destroyed the dam of the Edersee (near to my place) in WWII in 1943 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edersee_Dam).

[ich bin besser]

Oh, and who recognizes the 5 vinyls on display? 

[Evermind]

Beardfish's +4626-COMFORTZONE, Helloween's Pink Bubbles Go Ape (the one near it looks like Transatlantic's Kaleidoscope), PT's In Absentia, and the lower one is awfully familiar though I can't remember what it is now.

[ich bin besser]

Very good so far! 

[Sacul]

Diablo Swing Orchestra's Pandora's Piñata .

[Evermind]

Diablo Swing Orchestra's Pandora's Piñata .

Yeah, this I had no chance of guessing.

What's the one on the lower shelf? It's seriously driving me crazy. I bet I saw it somewhere, either in my promos inbox or maybe somewhere on DTF or facebook, dunno.

[ich bin besser]

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. 

[Evermind]

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. 

Oh, right. Totally not in the promos then, DTF it is. 

[SoundscapeMN]

I'm thinking of making a list and maybe talking about in a video and in my blog about albums that have not been released on Vinyl, but I would love to see.

That being said, among some others recently, I finally got

Kevin Gilbert - Thud
Apes and Androids - Golden Prize/Riverside colored 7".

[ReaperKK]

Bumping this thread. . . What turntable do you guys have. I'm looking to buy one, I have a bunch of records but no record player. Any recommendations?

[Orbert]

When it comes to audio equipment, I've always sworn by Sony, because it has never let me down and is good quality stuff.  I'm on my second Sony turntable.  The first one lasted like 30 years.

[ReaperKK]

My gf got me a really nice record player for Christmas (I know because they delivered it to the house with a packing label on the box). I've been listening to it and it's crazy how different the few vinyls I have sound. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the environment is that I'm listening to it is.

Anyway, I made a massive spreadsheet of albums I want to get on vinyl, this is going to take time and money

[Sacul]

A lot of it has got to do with the quality of the pressing and the mastering, not taking into account your own equipment of course

[ReaperKK]

well whatever it is I'm hooked.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Not sure if there's a more recent thread for vinyl discussion, but I'll revive this. My fiancé just surprised me with a wonderful gift! A new turntable and some powered speakers. As someone who eventually wants to get a receiver and have the whole setup, this is going to be a great start and will last me quite a few years. She found an insane deal on the ATLP120 and Klipsch R15PM powered speakers, and I must say, they sound wonderful.

I used to have a ATLP60 but got so frustrated with it due to its multitude of issues (mine, at least), so this feels like a nice upgrade. Luckily, I already have a decent collection of vinyl to play, so I'm excited.

Anyone else have any fun stuff they want to share?

I'm a vinyl guy too! I don't have an amazing turntable or speakers, but it sounds good to me. I'm a student, so I live in an apartment where I can't crank it up to 100 all the time anyway.

I do, however, spend like all of my money on vinyl. My collection is around 900 albums strong now, and includes a lot of limited and rare stuff, some of which I'm very proud of.
Examples:
https://www.discogs.com/de/Steely-Dan-Two-Against-Nature/release/3054898
https://www.discogs.com/de/Mark-Knopfler-The-Ragpickers-Dream/release/3023609

I always take at least one LP to concerts, hoping to get some autographs (yeah I'm one of those guys). Sometimes it works So I have quite a few vinyls signed too.

[ReaperKK]

That's awesome, I started getting into months ago when my finance got me a turn table. I don't have much of a collection but here it is:

Oh that's neat, I really need to check that site out.

Hello guys,

I have a question for all the vinyl fans here, and I hope that someone can help me.

I own a Denon DP-300F turntable. After 7 years of heavy usage, the needle broke a few days ago. I googled which needle would be okay to order to replace it and finally ordered one called DSN 85 ( https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00FEFMVAS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).

After attaching it, I put a record on and at first, it sounded great. But after like 30-60 seconds, I noticed a noise on the right speaker. Whenever I take the needle off, wait for 3 minutes and put it back on, it sounds good again. But after a minute it comes back. It sounds like a loose contact or something and it gets worse the longer the record is playing. And it's driving me crazy!

Has anyone experienced something like this and can tell me where the problem is? Is it just the needle that is shitty and should I return it? Or could this be some kind of cable problem?

Thanks in advance.

[ReaperKK]

I haven't replaced the needle on my cartridge yet but it sounds like it's a loose contact to me. Have you tried re-installing the needle? I would find it hard to believe the needle is bad because it's ok for the first minute or so.
