A24 4,326 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 It's easier to find vinyl than CDs in the shops these days. And good luck buying a CD player in an actual electronics store! bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I would buy vinyl if a score didn't get a CD release, but they're $$$$$! Especially since many are multiple discs!

Thor 7,465 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 My dad gave me a turntable about 2 years ago, but I've yet to plug it in (due to various cirumstances). I also got some 100 LPs from his huge collection - some of which were actually my own from way back when - that I look forward to playing once the turntable is up and running. Most likely, I'll have to move to a new apartment first. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Question for those who buy NEW releases. Are they better quality than old Lps? They advertise them as " 180gram ..". Whatever that means. 6 hours ago, Bespin said: I can't play vinyls anymore, my cat ate the needle a few years ago. I would have to buy another one.

When we moved when I was a kid, after my father died in 1984, I kept his LPs. No John Williams in his collection, I can't say he was a score lover, but there were two! Oh wait, no John Williams, that's not totally true... Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Excerpts on The Delicate Sound of Thunder, 5 years ago when we were selling my grandparents' house and picked some vinyls from the small collection to sell off used for at least some pennies. We left the rest and the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 There are cheap and softer vynils, you only have to watch them and they scratch. Heavier ones are more resistant. But each playing will wear the record anyway, maybe a bit less. It's a fact that each time you listen to a vynil, you damage it. Personally, I passed to another thing long time ago!

The heaviness of the vinyl allows for a "depper" pressing, thus, there is more information, on the record. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Static electricity is my biggest hassle. I used to have a gun that was supposed to eliminate it. Here's the thing: Even if analog vinyl sounds better than digital CDs, any gain in sound quality is lost with all the degradation. It's just too much hassle to maintain them, also. Same goes for 35mm film versus digital cinematography and projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 An obscure group of limited ability who recorded one great song " Dream Sequence"! More surface noise than a dinner party at Drax home. More pops than a Thor lecture( don't ask me what that means). Edit: just found a reasonably priced copy of Kritzerland CD on Discogs!😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
