Vinyl

[cellophane]

I have one or two records. Most are arranged by genre, then label, then cat number (lots of techno, gabber, etc. so it is easy to do that). Categories I have less of are just by artist. There are two crates in the other room currently, so just imagine the crates to the left are full. The blue crate on the top is currently housing 45's. The artwork on the right needs to be hung up at some point...
And because everyone else is doing it- also have a picture of a couple recent acquisitions.

I’ll play.

It appears I'm the only person who posts in this thread now, but I don't care. Wanted to share the latest batch of vinyl:



Actually it looks like I got the top left a year ago lol. But the second Faux Tales arrived in October IIRC, and I got the 2 Gunship albums for Christmas. They're two of my favorite bands of all time, I'm super excited to have these in my collection.

I have a bit of vinyl. Just a smidge lol. That rack I built holds about half my collection.

I have heard that 45s sound better than 33s due to "physics" (I didn't read the full article). When you say "with greater modulation," is that part of the 45 thing or is that something else? I'm still kinda dumb with this stuff.

High modulation refers to the greater amplitude of the analogue waveform as it's cut into the vinyl.

But I think that the speed difference can have a greater impact on the sound quality. It allows for a higher resolution recording and a lower noise floor.

I must admit though that in the real world it rarely makes a lot of difference. It all depends on the quality of the record and your HiFi gear.

Still it's worth trying out a 12" single or two. Some of the club discs I have from the eighties have incredible punch and clarity.

If you are into Vinyl I'd suggest getting a few 12" singles. Running at 45rpm and with greater modulation, they have lower noise and better dynamic range than most LP's. The one's I have are all extended club mixes from the 1980's.

Some of the albums I've picked up are 45s, including the one in the bottom right. I don't think my setup is good enough to take advantage of better sound though.

I don’t know much about vinyl, but I do have exactly one record- Boston’s self-titled album. My wife has a bunch though, along with a case of 8-tracks & a case of cassettes.

When we get our house in order I’ll probably set up a station for my wife’s record/CD/cassette/radio combo. She usually just runs her iPod through it but it gets a lot of use around the holidays. Bing and Elvis get a lot of play time.

I just got this rack of 80s stereo stuff from my in-laws over the weekend. It's all Fisher Studio Standard stuff, which I know isn't particularly "good" but it's still kinda fun. There's a turntable (MT-729 Linear Tracking turntable), amp, AM/FM radio, graphic EQ, and dual tape deck. The housing on the turntable is preventing the platter from spinning, and it needs a new cartridge. But other than that it seems to work.




Also came with a huge box of old records, like 50s-70s stuff. It's almost entirely old religious records though.

Couple of new death metal albums. I have 3 more albums on preorder, but they keep getting delayed. :/

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

One of my favorite live albums .

Walmart GNR colored Vinyl, checking the level on the Music Hall mmf 2.2

Brokeass_baller Not much of one. I was the outlier at any party I played at. There are a few hardcore folks around, but nothing like in someplace like Chicago or NYC. The techno & house side of things here isn't too bad. Not much in the way of big events, but there are still some of us that dig it.
edit: apologies on the late reply. haven't been on much.

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Really happy to have a canned heat record. And such a good one too .

I have a acrylic platter saved in eBay, just haven’t pulled the trigger cause it’s probably more for looks, then sound. My Plinth is piano black
