My Record Collection (in which I chronicle my record collection)

[kslim]

also i straight up do not believe that you own a humble pie record.

a few of them actually, i basically took all of my folks records and have added my own. i have some really weird crap

just got excited to see what you have.

okay then

[asava]

how do you guys listen to your records? olde timey stereo cabinets? polyphonic high fidelity stereo-phones?

(maybe this is new thread worthy)

I have a Sansui FR-D35, a cheap preamp, and some M-Audio Studiophile AV 40's. Pretty simple and cheap, but sounds good enough. I never listen to vinyl on headphones - I'd prefer to listen to digital on headphones because I can move around.

For turntable shopping (if you don't have one), I'd recommend craigslist instead of something new. Just set a price limit and search. Then, look up the model here:

http://www.vinylengine.com

for opinions on the turntable, manuals, setup tips, etc. It really makes it pretty easy.

i'd also recommend estate sales, you can run into some real incredible stuff sometimes being sold by family members who have no idea what they are selling.

i always stay away from these things. one thing fails, and you have a giant piece of trash. the sound quality is usually awful as well, but to each his own.

Wantlist is worth doing.  When you find a record you want, it will tell you how many other records you want that the seller has.

I guess I do the wantlist thing for notifications and stuff.

[michigancat]

Found this on ebay:
Rare KSU Marching Band In Concert LP 1974

[ksupamplemousse]

This is my dream setup



Technics SL-1200



Kenwood KA-7002



Acoustic Research AR-58s


...I have the speakers, but need the rest of the assembly. I'm currently running my AR-58s with an NAD C 326BEE, but I'd like to switch out the 58s with some Boston Acoustics CS 260 II and use an Oppo BDP-103 to play CDs and crap.

[asava]

that would be a pretty sweet set up. I love the NAD stuff. Really reasonably priced for a great sound. My dream set up always involves this though
