Theres probably only a hand full of people here that even know what a "record" is let alone actually seen anything vinyl! I am one who still has vinyl (mostly old punk). Anyone own/tryed one of the new record players that connect to your computer and can convert your vinyl to CD's.

I have about 150 records, most of which I have already "ripped" to MP3. You don't need anything special other than a "line-in" port on your sound card, and a decent program to record with. I use Sound Forge and it works great.
I have a lot of rare, out of print, early electro/industrial stuff that still isn't available on CD. Its nice having it ripped for easy listening. If you do it, just get yourself a good cleaner brush and some record cleaning solution...

Thats my TT.

Records are high def. CD is very lossy, and MP3 even more so. No digital source can produce true analog waveform.

When I was in Japan I used to go to Diechi's and drool all over their sound floor. I remember $20,000 high-end turntables that were set in 4 inch thick slabs of marble. They were very sweet. Even though I still own vinyl, I no longer have a turntable. A lot of my vinyl has been recorded and then traded off. I probably only hane a few dozen albums left.

I'll have to drop by my mom's this Xmas break and snap a shot of my "studio" in her basement. Growing up, I was spinning vinyl constantly. I dont think I really stopped until about 7-8 years ago. Along the way, I ended up building a separate sound room in my parent's basement, aquired somewhere around 3800 albums (many were dupes for scratching), and went through Tech 1200's by the pair almost every 6 months. Spinning was pretty damned expensive but I kept up with it for about 15 years. I played with everything from old school rap (REAL rap), industrial, trip hop (the most fun to spin), techno, and even some jazz/funk-tronica (so I call it). I sold much of the gear over the past 5 years to friends who stuck with it, but my old studio is still quite intact and operational. I think it is anyways, since mom has been using it as storage and whatever else you can imagine over these passed years, heh. Hell, I havent even seen her basement in about 3 years.... it may even be gone now, heh.

But yes, vinyl.... you REALLY cant beat it. I have some near perfect original Sinatra vinyls that sound SO damned good.

Not sure if anyone cares or knows about these products, but it doesnt matter what you listen to if you want your music to sound amazing (im talking hearing things on a cd that you never heard before even if you listened to it a hundred thousand times) get CD Stoplight and one of those cd polishers,,my favorite is at mapleshaderecords.com,, the difference is amazing at the very least
