Vinyl Collections

[jimjimmyjones85]

I don't like the sound on all picture disks. But I do play the colored vinyl.

Music is to be enjoyed. I don't buy them to collect.

It's true!

Do you guys play your colored vinyl or picture discs?

I absolutely play my colored vinyl. And if I can get colored vinyl over black, I'll buy it. The music always comes first, but I do like the collectibility of colored vinyl.

^^ I agree. Great post.


Meanwhile, I finally bought a new turntable today.

Fired this record up first.

My friend in Dallas is cleaning all my used vinyl with one of those very expensive record cleaning machines. I can't wait to see and hear how they turn out.

I never knew such a thing existed. Definitely let us know how it changes things.

I told him my Conan the Barbarian looked really good, but sounded very scratchy. He told me it sounds great now. I can't wait to listen to all my stuff. I gave him about 40-50 records.

Excellent choices there.

Could you please ask him what the name of the machine is?

I don't know the model, but I think it's a VPI machine.

Yep. He's a huge music collector, though. He probably has a few thousand records.

Kinda silly that they cost that much.

There are much cheaper ones on the market, but my friend doesn't skimp on anything.

I was looking, and they're either really expensive, or really cheap, as in K-Tel or Ronco cheap.

I know what you mean. I almost bought one of those cheap models. Once my friend mentioned the one he had, I changed my mind and handed him my stack of records.

Also......Barnes and Noble have a vinyl section now.

My local Hastings has one now, too. It's nice seeing more and more vinyl popping up in stores.
