Especially when you can just go to places like Bookmans & get so many classics & less known s*** for 5 to 10 dollars a pop lol, & a lot of them will be used but still working & originally pressed from back then.

Some of the stuff ive got at those type of stores would be looked at as robbery to the internet only people. Even a good amount of s*** still fully intact with their inside contents.

Nothing.

It’s more the rarity of vinyl pressings/back in the day with some genres vinyl was the only way you could listen to some artists (e.g emo/hardcore etc)

Big ass cover

Don’t be cynical. Future generations will just think it’s normal to always show what you’re doing. I bet you use your phone to post here more than your grandpa uses the internet at all in a week.

you can't download a vinyl

I would love to see the vinyl collection you have

the appeal i guess is the nostalgia of how music used to be played and how it was the first way people could listen to music. also i feel like the sound quality is very good which is another reason and not only that but it’s music you can hold. also you can appreciate the care that went into the vinyl cover etc or the vinyl itself with the colour of it if it ain’t just black

Vinyl records usually have better more dynamic mixing because of the way the medium works. so a lot of music just sounds better on vinyl

Other than that the giant artwork is fire to collect and the ritual of putting the needle down and flipping to side b is meditative as s***, makes you feel more connected to the music

I have a sound treated room, and my setup "new" would be around 6k, not bad. I've heard 30k systems they sound great but I have no need for that in my life right now.

I also did not spend 6k I have a lot of used gear that I have either fixed up or found good deals on. I probably have spend 2k on everything. I made the sound treatment from a local whole seller, I got the contact from someone who runs a local studio, I have a tube amp pulled out of an old cabinet unit, the speakers I have connected to vinyl right now are european imports I had to fix. I used to flip speakers/audio equipment for a while as well, so I would basically do that to pay for my own gear. I just stopped re selling when I decided I liked what I had.

But it doesn't have to be as expensive as you would think if you are willing to put the time into getting the gear. My fist setup was decent, everything came from goodwill, it costed less than 100$ and at the time I thought it sounded amazing.

People who think they're born in the wrong generation use them/ they just like vinyl crackle. I have a couple of records, but it's really not worth it considering CDs are higher quality and are $10 a pop, some are even 7-9 dollars.

idk i just like to collect them

One of Madlibs record collector friends Egon said he’s already told his wife which records to sell and how to sell them if he dies

I love Egon man, he played a boiler room set of mostly british psych rock, who else can do that??

i like to look at the plastic cardboard

That set was so hard, it's what initially made me a fan and got me into his label

i'm not cynical

i'm just becoming more and more clear
about what my mission is with this tech s***

nahmean

To get a job position at Pitchfork

It's the big covers

If someone says something else they are lying
