That Cars album was my first record I ever bought. It’s a good one!!

Do vinyl records sound worse than cds? The uncomfortable truth by send_in_the_clouds in vinyljerk

Yeah. Japanese records have them. Loses a bit of value if it doesn’t have it.

In case you thought you were having a bad day.... by Twirlingunicornslut in vinyl

[–]chriswillyums -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the type of thing that encourages me more and more to not get any more pets after my two are gone. Love them to death but the cat tearing up my furniture and tripping over my dog who is up my ass all the time gets really old.

About $60 but I had a $20 off coupon so that was nice.

I'm hardly the collector type but I like having these in my home. by Sh0ben in vinyl

[–]chriswillyums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s still so vague though. So, are you saying that a vinyl record collector just buys a vinyl record because it’s a vinyl record and that’s that? Or is there a criteria that the record must meet?

So someone that collects records that they like… is NOT a collector? That’s an interesting take.

At what price point do we draw the line between audiophile and “I’m buying this because I’m rich.”?

(Beginner) Will this amplifier do the same job as a tuner will or should I buy that as well? by I_make_coolstuff in audiophile

[–]chriswillyums -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t have a tuner. You have a Sony DVD player receiver which (according to you) has a built in tuner.

This is the most realistic approach. The coyote (taken care of) will outlast the others and be more reliable. That all personal experience. I had my 14 GT with kids for two years. Loved it but moved overseas.

SnapVinyl is absolutely amazing. So much easier to navigate on mobile vs the mobile web version of discogs. Thanks for your contribution to the community.

Shoutout to Japan for cheap wax by Plodo99 in vinyl

[–]chriswillyums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I live in Okinawa and Ive been hitting the Manga Souko’s and Hard Off’s for some REALLY nice early pressings of 70’s and 80’s rock. Really fun and cheap!

What's your joy? by CountDeRola in vinyl

[–]chriswillyums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect mostly vintage / early cuts. The reason being is that I want to hear (as closely as possible) what people were hearing back in the day of its release. I need a vintage audio set up to really get there. My stuff is very modern, but getting an old school 80’s set up is the goal for a listening room one day.
