  1. I only do so for the sake of having it in different formats.

    Maybe an "audiophile" can "say" there is a difference but the real honest difference to me is that vinyl will give you the sound of how it was truly recorded to sound like from the recording studio while other forms will have the sound "cleaned up" and it will not sound "flat" for a lack of better terms.

    I have AC/DC on vinly and it will sound different than streaming for instance but it is not  a bad or good thing to be honest. 

    It really comes down to prefrence.

    Kind of like the debate of why would we collect physical copies of retro games when we can just emulate type of argument. 🫠🫥🙃🫣🫡

    Not really into collecting vinyls, but I picked up a bunch back around 20 years ago when I thought it would be fun to get a record player. During the time I lived in Copenhagen I'd usually spend some occasional time in used record stores when I happened to pass by one to see what interesting stuff I could find. 

    Got myself a ton of synthpop and new wave stuff, as well as whatever old post-punk, EBM and industrial I would come across, as well as a bit of old school techno. All that probably still makes up the bulk of my collection. Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Joy Division, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Bauhaus and a bunch of much more obscure stuff.

    At the time most records could be had for $3-8 so it was pretty carefree and inexpensive. I've bought a few more old records recently, but it's quite rare due to how much harder and more expensive it's become to find something you want in even a decent shape. 

    Since then I've gone online to close out my David Bowie collection (most albums up until the 90s as well as his last two which were also available on vinyl) as well as all the Talking Heads albums. I've also joined the bandwagon for some of the video game soundtracks that have released in recent years, but kept them to a minimum because that becomes expensive fast - joined by the occasional brand new release from bands I want to support, local or international. 🙂

    Will spruce up with pictures later, eventually... 

    Can't wait!

    I have an Audio Technica LP140XP and some simple powered speakers. Have about 2-3x as many records as this pic, heavy on the country (old outlaw and new non-radio variety) and Americana side of things with a bunch of classic rock albums handed down from my parents. This pic shows me spinning my favorite band of all time, Lucero.

    What are some of your favorite country you have come across?

  4. Just got into it about 2 weeks ago.

    Will update with pics soon but I have paried it with a nice new pair of klipsch cornwall IV speakers!

    Player is a Dual cs 429. Went with automatic until I get used to paying records for the moment.

    Went with a NAD C 389 with BluOS-d as the integrated amp sue to its simplicity and options to be future proof.
