Got rid of my tinny POS turntable and moved this beast down from the attic :

It's pretty good, got a casette and CD player aswell, and the turntables automatic which is useful for me as my retardedly shakey hands scratch everything :saddowns: Was playing Odessey and Oracle at the time

**CoolCorky** · 4th February 2011

oh shit oh shit my Larks Tongues in Aspic record fell behind my desk and I can't reach it :gonk:

**AK'z** · 4th February 2011

How the hell does that even happen?

**CoolCorky** · 4th February 2011

I was putting it on my shelf and it slipped because it was in one of those plastic wallets

**eichhornch** · 4th February 2011

My Thorens TD160 arrived today and all I can say is WOW. The moment I put the needle on the record it blew me away. I'll post some pics of it soon.

Also yesterday our history teacher invited our class to his house and cooked for us. He collects all kinds of strange stuff and we were free to explore his entire house. After looking through endless amounts of stuff I stumbled upon a little Audio Technica box. To my surprise I found a mint condition AT3200XE (MC) cartridge inside of it. So I asked my teacher about it and he said he had no use for it anymore and said I could keep it. Anyways we all had a nice evening and I walked away with a free MC cartridge.

Few Nirvana albums. The In Utero is a really recent pressing and is still sealed, they came with MP3 codes that enable you to download the album in 320kbps MP3. All are new releases, but I've had them for a while.

**Zenpod** · 5th February 2011

God damnit, Every time I see this thread I urge more to see my Dad's Vinyl collection

Trick of the Tail is fucking amazing, you should track it down to complete your awesome collection.

Oh hell yes, Trick Of The Tail is my favourite Genesis album, have that, Duke and and The Lamb Lies Down on vinyl.

Trick of the Tail? Really? I mean it's a good album but it doesn't hold a candle to Foxtrot or Selling England (or Invisible Touch)

You need to listen to it more I suggest.

Duke is good, but in musical terms.... it seems your liking it has taken over what you think of it as "how good it is" :smug:

I hope, in the future, my son will want to look through my record collection the same way you guys look through your parents' collections.

Slawter · 5th February 2011

Tool vinyls are just pure eargasm. Way better than a CD.

What's that album where its just two sides of stainless steel looking vinyl?

True that, it'd be cool passing them down through generations or some shit.

**AK'z** · 5th February 2011

I'd rather now care if my partner could relate to my record collecting. Kids are far too long down the line.

**eichhornch** · 7th February 2011

After being outbid 4 times already, my brother finally managed to score "Deliverance" by Corrosion of Conformity. This one is also signed by the band on the fourth side which is normally empty.

Damn... that band ruined your vinyl dude. :saddowns:

**CoolCorky** · 7th February 2011

Try playing it, they may have scratched hidden messages into it

**Oscar_SP** · 8th February 2011

My dad has soooooo many records I can't even count them. Probably up about 300-400, not kidding. Probably more.

I only own one myself.

Cosmicmeet · 10th February 2011

Recently my record player will just stop in the middle of a song, at radom times.
Any reason why?

**AK'z** · 10th February 2011

And automatically return?

Cosmicmeet · 10th February 2011

No they just stop, and that's it, I have to take the needle off and restart the record.

I assume it's a direct drive turntable. So I don't think I'll be able to help, but if it isn't.. then I think its very weird. Make sure your power cables are secure.

I couldn't find mine, this is as close as it gets.

Hello music section.
My dad has couple of boxes filled with vinyls, and I like to listen to them when I'm at grandma's. Some rock classics and early techno

Most probably a hardware problem. Try emailing the company, you must have some sort of guarantee.

I would, but as I said they are at my grandma's house :saddowns:

**Dutchlike** · 10th February 2011

A friend of mine bought all of his grandparents 150+ albums for like €20,- (including early Beatles pressings and that sort of stuff).
Maybe you could arrange something like that?

Fun fact: Back in the '60s and ' 70s you had to choose between Rolling Stones and The Beatles, if you listened to both of them you'd have 2 parties after your ass.
If you listened to the Rolling Stones you had a "buickschuiver" moped like my Kreidler, if you listened to the Beatles you had a light moped with high handlebars like a Puch .
Anyhow if you mixed any of those two you'd be in a fight, ahh the '60s...peace and love all around.

**AK'z** · 10th February 2011

Got Springsteen's Tunnel of Love in MINT CONDITION for £2 :gonk:

Sounds absolutely sublime.

Yeah, mods and rockers. Of course, a lot of this was fueled by the record companies.

There was a time that if you went to a Metallica concert in a Megadeth t-shirt you would be raped.
