Oh man j, beautiful thread!

I own 7 CRATES of albums ranging from Disco-Jazz-R&B-Rock you name it!!
I spin then on 2 Technic SL3200 turntables that I bought back in 1978 (direct drives) and the only thing I have changed is the cartridges!
To me, the crackle & pop of vinyl playing on a turntable makes it even sound better!!
I wanna see that!
 
and you know what else? I was over at the thrift store a while ago and there was a stack of lp's and you can't tell me that that stuff is on CD's no way.

I can't belive I didn't pick them up, I actually think I'm gonna get out tonight, it may be too late by now tho, so as soon as I can, I'm going back there and getting some gems for cheap.

Now, I need a new cartridge for my Technics sl-bd20, any reccomends?
 
I still have all of my vinyl from back in my mobile DJ days. You remember those days? Before crazy people started "scratching" everything in sight in addition to themselves. :p Actually, I guess I should be grateful to those lunatics, because thanks to them, turntable availability and quality have jumped dramatically in the past few years. Ten years ago, who'd have ever thought of a turntable with a digital output? Who'd have ever thought that turntables would still be so readily available?

And to sort of add to what timmerman said... yes, there will come a day when turntables will be scarce and very expensive. Just look at the current reel to reel tape deck market if you need an example. :eek:
 
My bro in law had 2,000 lp's then he started replacing quite a few w/ CD, and getting rid of some lp's, just recently he was over here and asked me if some of mine were his that he gave me, but they weren't. So I guess he stopped and misses his old friends. :) want's em back!
 
I spin the old black records. I spin brand new black records as well.

2 technics 1200 M3Ds and a Stanton Str8 100 all fronted with high end shure cartridges running through a Allen and Heath Xone:92(mixer) attached to a Behringer Composer Compressor(acting as a limiter) then two Hafler DH500 amplifiers in bridged mode for 1000 watts of power(@ 4 ohms) to each Infinity QLS1 speaker which stand five feet 10 inches tall and weigh in at 155 pounds piece packing in 16 drivers a piece.

The sound is pristine and when I put on a CD the difference is quite noticeable in a not so good way.
 
millions of punk, hip hop, and club records get pressed every year. it'll never die out.

I 've got a special white vinyl Tony Carey and a few reds.. How about them pictured LP's. :D

I personally dislike picture-vinyls, sure they look cool but turn down the lights and try to see the grooves...HA! Not gunna happen!
