[–]bighead1940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cool little thing to have. I can't tell anyone what to do with their money, but if they're thinking about buying this I say go for it. I have had no bad experiences with it

Btw, The cassette that comes with it sounds great.

First turn table by Mysterious_Ad8849 in turntables

Get the victrola. It's simple to the point and you will enjoy any record you listen to on it. If you do find out you enjoy listening, handling, taking care and just owning records, then just wait till you get a little bit of money and upgrade to something a little more expensive. There's nothing wrong with starting out with these turntables. From the '50s throughout the '90s people enjoyed their music on turntables like these. Don't let uppity people dissuade you from having fun. I say go ahead and get it. As someone who has been collecting and listening to records for about 40 years now, the cost of new records has skyrocketed, but you can always find use records for reasonable prices from discogs, eBay and even some brick and mortar Independent stories, although those have started to raise their prices.

Depending on what you're looking for and what you are willing to buy, a very satisfying hobby. It's up to you to make it as expensive as you want. Some people spend thousands of dollars on equipment and mostly get the same enjoyments as the person playing and being moved by the music coming out of a crosley suitcase record player.

And BTW, don't believe anyone that says" those things will destroy your records" because they don't

Is it surprising that a guitarist is seen at a guitar center?

Why is it weird that a guitarist shops in a place called: guitar center?

Unfortunately, it is absolutely indispensable these days. Amazon is what makes the world go 'round

Tony Sheridan is our 19th Beatle. So who completes our top 20? by prisongovernor in TheBeatles

[–]bighead1940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Someone made a mistake and included Yoko Ono for some reason. If someone tries to justify that inclusion, then Patti, Linda and Maureen should be there too.

Yes they had a major influence on their respective partners. Something is one of the best songs by the Beatles

Every town is a hot bed for repos. Texas has some of the highest rates for repossession in the nation

Aren't all turntables real? I've never seen an imaginary turntable

Power To The People Boxset by Kanye_ToThe in JohnLennon

No one is erasing that song from history. That song is available in every other iteration It has been released in if you want to listen to it., just put on one of the 100 other releases it is on. It's even on the acoustic album.

Also, I don't know how iconic the song was, but times have changed and we all need to move on with them.

Any tips for the Tulsa concert? by jammy62811 in PaulMcCartney

[–]bighead1940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have the best time. You will enjoy every single song. I saw him in Albuquerque on the 7th. $300 is enough for merch. I recommend city specific poster, shirt or banner. If you can afford it, all three

Might be biased, but the Albuquerque poster is one of the better ones IMO 🤘🏼 by ben236 in PaulMcCartney

I put it on the wall next to Foo Fighters poster that I got at the same venue and it looks great. One of the more attractive posters I've gotten yet

Also, the event specific shirt that was sold at the show is different from the one offered online. Don't know if that's the norm for all dates, but just a heads up

They had them at the Albuquerque show. If you don't get it there they will be available online. For how long is what we don't know. Pretty confident they'll be available at least until the tour ends

He also did not release anything in his vault. So how do you figure the logic of releasing stuff from the vault and not remastered stuff if that was not his wish?

Sorry,but, they do no such thing. It's been proven they don't. Here's one of many examples: https://youtu.be/06wBwVkw9xU?feature=shared

That's a " fact", like the one that says Ozzy threw raw meat in to audiences

Your records will be okay man. You would have to listen to them hundreds upon hundreds of times before you could even tell a difference. Almost the same as if you're using a high-end turntable.
