Been listening to some vinyl for first time in about three decades.
Heard a few things about the possible resurgence of our old 33 1/3 rpm vinyl.
How about you, you have a turntable? My stuff is old, but it was pretty good back in the day, and it is no comparison to the modern CDs in clarity. Still fun though to play that 30-46 year old stuff. What you got? Seals and Crofts, summer breeze for me today prior to the Royals game. |

I still have my turntable from the 80's. I have a bunch of soundtracks from the 80's.

I met a old guy, via his wife who works for one of my clients, who won an Emmy for sound mixing on some mid-70's hit. He claims the sound back then is far superior to the sound today.
Also, because he did not have a college degree, USF, refused him a teaching position—despite decades of experience as an audio engineer. |

KQRS in Minneapolis is playing a lot of music off vinyl again.

Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX2
Pioneer SX-535 EPI t/e 70 bookshelf speakers It's just a small setup for my office and because no one else wants to hear the shit I listen to. Vinyl never went away in punk and it's been back in metal for awhile now. For years, I would only buy new releases that were either first or limited presses. So if you're into shitty music, I have a pretty decent collection, mostly 7". |

It had been so long since I had used my Mitsubishi DPEC-7 turntable I had to take the bottom off and lube it up a little for the automatic arm raising/lowering gadget to work properly. |

Thread makes me sad as in 1986 I lost over 750 albums in a fire
Some were irreplaceable too.

It was around that time that I lost a bunch when the sump pump failed and our basement got kind of flooded. I didn't have near that many, but it was quite a few. In retrospect, I probably could have saved more than I did but we weren't playing them much anymore at the time. I played an Iron Butterfly album today and had to clean it up from that water but it seemed fine once I did it. |

I am thinking about picking up a new Denon though with some reward points I have through work. The replacement cartridge on that Beogram is far too expensive for this small of a setup and the shitty recording quality of the bands I listen to. Most of the stuff I listen to is self recorded on little to no budget. |

Brings back memories of weekly treks to Tiger records.

Wife got me a record player for X-mas. I love it. Got some great Zepplin and Beatles and Johnny Cash albums I've been listening to. Also, the Inglorious Basterds soundtrack. Top notch.

*scratch* And on a related note I have around 100 albums (I'm guessing, it's about 4 or 5 boxes) of records that are mostly big band and 1950's music. I can't ****ing wait to hear these on my stereo. Once I buy a turn table (I'm very skeptical of most newer "retro producers") I plan to play some Al Bowlly and dance with my wife on the porch.

I hadn't thought about Seals & Croft in decades and then in the course of one week, HemiEd leads off this thread with their video and I learn that Glenn Campbell was once in a band with them before any of them hit it big. I love coincidences like that.
