Records are getting a bit long in the tooth now days. But I kept most of mine, and got the turntable out a few months ago, the difference in sound was amazing, much crisper sound even with the crackles.
So hear is my most worn out album.

^ Almost every post you make on TD is influenced by that record.
You are Simple Minds Live personalized.
^ Alive and Kicking:yerman:
You took a turntable with you to Thailand? Or you bought one there? Or you are full of shit and still live in Parramatta?Quote:

Been on a UK Garage kick recently.
The last 2 years, probably System of a down - Toxicity.
As for real vinyl. Had a record player as part of me teenage mancave, probably Emperor In the Nightside Eclypse, was the most played.
He didn't Promis you a Miracle, did he ? :)Quote:

Once every 5 years or so i hook up the turntable, The sound that comes from it is crisper than an mp3 or a cd or video, only problem is that I have to wait over the last song because the return lever is gummed up. Anyhow, here is a pic of my next most worn out album.:)

I played this to death in 1978, and went to see them at Birmingham Bingley Hall in '79.
Great time for music, especially with so many great Midlands bands.
The old albums where so hard to take care of, cleaning and needles:yerman:. But that vinyl that i bought back in 1983 still plays loud and clear. I brought a bunch of cd's and dvd's over that are worse for ware, The humidity and heat seem to make them pop little tiny bubbles inside the coating.
The big issue I will have one day is finding a new needle for the turntable, Hence not playing the albums much at all.
Here is another one.

Personally, I hated vinyl with a passion, the quiet movements are so often ruined. I'm not that keen on CDs either. I do like mp3 though, being able to hear an opera uninterrupted is a real pleasure.Quote:

Yep, the only way a person can ever tell the difference is to listen to all the forms of recording one at a time. Nothing will ever be the same as a live performance.Quote:

I might be onto something here? No-one has records anymore, Lucky I saved them.:)
Makes me greener than those kids that complain about global warming while they throw out the old smart phone to buy a new one hey:)
My 40 year old vinyl record has saved more carbon by simply being kept by me. and I dont need "lasers" to play it, only a diamond the size of a pin prick:)
