gunnar Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 if you haven't started by now, don't bother; all the good stuff's gone. what he said. besides, i don't need more competition scalping the nifty vin*cough* i i mean.. at sports. yes. at sports. like football. whatchamean? all the good stuff's there. if not buried in your local recordshops somewhere then discogs is a safe bet.

Guest hahathhat Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 it's best approached as a finders-keepers thing rather than some grand collection extravaganza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 it's best approached as a finders-keepers thing rather than some grand collection extravaganza. yeah pretty much most of the stuff i like to buy is non-obscure 70s-80s pop/prog.. which fortunately is pretty cheap and easy to come by if you know where to look. that said though, i am building up quite a nice collection of warp albums! and i'm also a sucker for coloured vinyl, something that hydra head and related labels are particularly awesome for.

Guest disparaissant Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Cons: Moving is a massive pain in the ass. I moved to a fourth floor apartment with no elevator and holy shit vinyl is HEAVY AS HELL, lugging 15 cases up four flights of stairs is pretty much one eagle-eating-your-liver short of Prometheus' fate.

Dragon Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I've been thinking hard about this over the last few days, and I think I've made my decision. I'm going to get a turntable. Thanks to everyone in this thread for your advice. Now, here are a couple of turntables which are in my price range. What does WATMM think? Will these be suitable? I'm looking for a turntable that will require little or no maintenance, and something with good sound quality. Both of these turntables have built-in speakers, but apparently they don't sound very good. I plan to get some speakers to go with them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002XII4JG/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002WTD0WC/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscillik Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm looking for a turntable that will require little or no maintenance, and something with good sound quality. in my opinion, your requirements do not exist in reality. you're wanting to listen to a music format that requires you to be very methodical with regards to the listening mechanisms, handling of the media, etc etc etc yet you don't want to be dealing with maintenance? in my personal opinion, it seems that vinyl is a bad choice for you, and you're only going to regret your investments in this venture.

"handling of the media" LOL yeah that's a real tough one. the listening mechanisms, LOL. imagine someone talking this way about cassettes. bro it's full time, sometimes the media snaps and you have to handle it methodically by getting out a specialty philips head screwdriver and carefully opening it up so you can put some scotch tape on it, but don't use the cheap brand. ah who am i kidding, it's a lot of work - you'll probably just regret it anyway. keep listening to your stupid digital media for babies and leave the real listening to the champs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
