AURex 1,998 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 So, are any of you guys spinning LP records? Please don't throw that stupid snap-crackle-pop crap at me. You'll just be demonstrating your ignorance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've slowed down buying, and have culled half my collection, but still have almost 2,000 LPs. Most are in pristine condition. Post a photo of your rig, if you are up for it. I'll try to get my act together. I have 2 turntables (one for stereo, the other for mono). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My record player, some recent additions, my in wall speaker set up. Just what I have on my phone right now. I’ll have to take other pictures later.

fredst 9,064 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Man, I would love to restart a vinyl collection again. My parents did away with mine without discussion when I moved out to go to medical school. Was in a Guitar Center this past weekend and they had some vinyl there;so tempted to start with Amy Winehouse “Back to Black” that was there-great album. Of course then I’d have to get the turntable, speakers, etc- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea... the in-wall surround sound system was already installed when we moved in. The sub-woofer is from my wired surround set that is in the closet awaiting further use. That one is an LG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My most recent addition: Nice! That's a sweet looking guitar. My next purchase will either be a Gretsch or a Fender 50s Era Stratocaster. And dude, I have been playing for two years now and I still can't play lead, when I jam with my buddies I am relegated to playing rhythm and singing. Hell, sometimes they take over both guitars if we have a bassist and tell me to just sing. It comes with time. I have actually hindered my ability to learn guitar by focusing on singing and playing at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one has 50s pickups, etc. in it. So it’s supposed to sound like a 50s strat. It comes in normal and roadworn. I like the vintage look. nice hollow body. Very nice.

AURex 1,998 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) My Clearaudio turntable with ebony arm and Maestro cartridge for stereo LPs. And my vintage Yamaha PF-800 turntable with forked tonearm and AT mono cartridge for mono records (including 45s). And my music room. The music room is actually our substitute for a living room, and it is that in reality -- the room for life. The TV and media are in the family room. TV and music equipment don't share space. We do have music videos and a decent audio system connected to the TV setup. In my first life, I was a music guy and my wife is also really into music. So collecting LPs and CDs was never a problem. However, the furnishings had to meet the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), so no spartan techie stands. Almost all of my LP collection is housed/organized in my "office" which also includes my reading collection, work desk, and computer equipment.
