I know there is a couple of Topic talking about Vinyl I couldn't find them so I decided to start a new one 

Just picked up my old turn-table and connectec it up through my PC through to my surround sound system

Just listening to my first record in years. I have Roger Waters "The Wall" live from the Berlin Wall from the early 90's. Might start converting my record to MP3 now...

As our very own Biker Pat would say...... ROCK ON!!!...

As I mentioned in one of the other threads, I have 2 turntables (part of a 3 in 1 system) - which used to belong to my wife, before we got married and another one in a mahogany box.  The sound isnt as good with the smaller one, as it has built in speakers but its just beside my "singles boxes" so I use that more often.  I dont know if I'd convert to MP3, as I just like the vinyl sound and just phyically "playing" the actual record on the deck.

My boss in work reckons that vinyl's making a comeback!

And Pete my dear friend..........you want my vinyl collection when I go to Vinyl Heaven and the last vinyl record comes to an end on my turntable .........

On your knees boy..........

I've set the turntable on constant replay






May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I spent most of yesterday evening going through my vinyl collection and playing a few even though I have them on CD/MP3.. There is just something about playing Vinyl that I discovered yesterday that is missing from CD's and MP3's. I bought a lot of my albums from Car Boot fares and some of them are in a bad way but I found some gems that I didn't realize I had..,. I didn't realize I had a copy of Dio's "Holy Diver" album that definitely got a play last night.. Last thing I need to do is now get a permanent setup for the Turntable.....

Pete

I have been promising my lady that I will organise the attic. I'm sure I have a turntable and amp up there.

If I come across it I'll let you know

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

Where did you pick up the vinyl, Peter?  I'm pretty happy with my collection, as such, but sure there's always room for more!!  Its a long term goal (dream?) of mine to replace any plain sleeved singles I have with Pic Sleeves but its gonna take time (and money!) - was it some car boot sale you were at?

Over the past few months I've put flooring down in the attic and organised all the junk into neat boxloads and put in a few sockets -

During the week, hooked up my old JVC deck, TRIO Amp and Wharfdales - AMAZING!
First album was Horses, Then a track from Blue Oyster Cult's first - Then came the last days of May - Hadn't heard it for 25 years or so...
Think I'll move into the Attic now

I went through a mad phase of buying picture discs and coloured vinyls in the 80's.

Some of my little teasures are...

a pink vinyl Led Zep 4

a Dark Side of the Moon picture disc

a clear see through (as seen on the back of the album itself) Wish You Were Here

a 12 inch interview Queen picture disc

several Marillion picture discs

and a very very rare 10" coloured (red) EP of four rare 'not on any album' Pink Floyd tracks...

There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't...
