I am fixing to get an updated, sleek radio/record player that resembles one from the 60's.. anyone else dig record players? Wish more places sold records.. I know its an outdated thing, but I've seen a lot of people/companies tryin to reproduce record players and latley, I've seen some of my favorite new artists records.. Example: Wilco, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Beck.

Give it up for the record players.. Where the pops sound good.

This thread screams for Dansa.


Dansaaa, where are youuu?

I dont have an old one that works.. Im gettin a new one.. so im excited.. This joint up the streets got every radiohead release in vinyl..!

I really think Kid A and Amnesiac would sound interesting on a record player.. Todays technology on yesterdays technology..

My daddy gave me his old sckool one he got while he was in the Army back in the 60's. He gave me some of his old Vinyl and I also collect vinyl to.

Im gonna get the Amnesia single by PM DAWN on vinyl.. cause he gave me a shout out on the very back, and its easier to see on vinyl.

Damn, I've got some great vinyl that's been in storage too too long...

I even have the Jackson 5 on Vinyl

Sdldawn said:

Thats the trippy part...I bought mine play and buy all th e old vinyl thats always on sale for 50 cents, 99 cents etc...I got all these old ones for cheap that are like brand new lol...I gotta get me some new release vinyl though like Voodoo by Dangelo and some Radiohead too etc..thing is the new release records sometimes cost more than the cd's ...but they are worth it for the large art-work etc...and vinyl brings out the "warmth" of recordings imho...and even have better spound and pick up then cds that are supposed to be the best etc...for example..Exile On Main Street is supposed to be played on vinyl etc..so is Voodoo...some things are supposed to sound sludgy etc yet warm

Does it look like this?

althom said:

I said it was from the 60's not the 20's you Doofus!

rdhull said:

Voodoo would sound great on record. and yes, the new records cost around my way like 24.99.. its pricey, but maybe that is because there wasnt a lot produced.. not sure on that though.

I love vinyl!

The tones are less audibly separated than our digital formats, but, as rd suggested, there is something so engrossing about the murkiness, the organic "snap, crackle and pops," or the anticipation of the first few musical notes when you drop the needle! Also the bigger artwork and packaging was SO much fun!

I still have all my old 12"s and a few LPs on vinyl, but I need to get a new turntable.

what you want is a Clearaudio Master Reference Turntable



yours for a little under £15,000 or $26,500

Just bought Mom one for Xmas.
They're still makin em!

vinyl

as for findin a newer record player, they're pretty expensive if you buy a brand-new one. try and look around in your local thrift store for one or you might have a record store in your area that specializes in vinyl that may also carry used record players for cheap.

i have an old sherwood record player with a pioneer receiver (with the big ol' headphone jack!) with two huge floor speakers (which i can't use cuz they're super-bassy and i have a guy who lives downstairs from me )...the entire set-up cost me only $80.

They do! I got 'em both. They comes as double 10" albums. Lovely warm sound. Kid A has a hidden track on it. At the conventional end of the album, the needle stops progressing. If you lift it up and move it forward a tiny bit, there's a brief instrumental. Not quite as cool as that booklet they hid under the CD tray but still damned cool.

Another option would be an inexpensive DJ turntable, such as a Gemini or Numark. There are many reasonably-priced models to choose from, and they should be perfectly adequate if you just want to listen to records.

I have 'Green Grass Of Tunnel' on 7" vinyl. Sounds gorgeous (I also have it on CD on that recent Fat Cat compilation & it seems to have been mixed for vinyl).
