Do you still play vinyl records?

[Leekbrookgull]

Sure the sound is poor,but i love the labels to look at,let alone play.I am keeping all my singles and albums.300Plus

 

[The Large One]

Course I do.

Two turntables at home, one of which is a 1962 Dansette. Pale blue. Handsome.

 

[Cian]

I have quite a few, I rarely use them since CD decks got decent mixing abilities.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Dansette? wow.that a be,late60,s or early 70,s.they were a big name,i think at the the time?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Is this just a thread to smoke out Fatboy Slim's NSC user-name?
In which case I think Mr Cook is THE LARGE ONE

Do I win £5?

 

[Yorkie]

Yes, I still have loads of LP's and singles.
The hi fi we bought had a turntable.

Your posts tonight are like a scratched dusty old 78 - you keep jumping over the vital ingredient for coherent posts.


The words.

Are you mental

Vinyl is how music should sound.

Tapes, CD's, MP3's - they've all lost some of the original quality that vinyl recordings retain.

If you look after them and play them on the right equipment your vinyl records will sound better than any other recordings you could care to mention.

And yes, I play my vinyl records, new and old regularly

100% CORRECT.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Nice one Blue,its te feel and sound.

 

[Uncle C]

Too right - Linn Sondek, Ittok etc.

Vinyl is analogue and therefore a continuum of all data.

CD is music chopped up and reassembled

MP3 is music chopped up, half thrown away, and then reassembled

Bang on.

I have decks, my collection is mostly Hip hop with some grime, dancehall and rnb as well.

i read the other day that danny howells who is a brilliant dj and on a par globally with sasha and digweed (ish) doesn't use cd's that often and says 'it isn't the same walking into a club without a heavy record bag'...

i love vinyl and understand that we have to keep buying it to keep the smaller labels in business... too many of my friends who play CD's own up to burning illegal copies but they don't understand that if youy don't recognize the artist with money then they won't be able to make records or the labels won't be able to put them out.

on the other side, i have seen some DJs do some cool stuff with CDJs, i saw tong the other night and he was just ripping up the sounds, loads of quick loops but lots of quality cross-fader action too. james zabiela is a head f*** with CD's too.

Yep, vinyl LPs are much better than CDs, as long as you get them in decent shape.

Not only that, but valve amplifiers are way better than transistor amps, and 78s will also sound great on a good system if they aren't scuffed too badly. The deep grooves allow a presence, like you are in the studio.

S'marvelous!

I have thousands of 45s and LPs, and always will.

You also get into extremely bad legal issues if DJ'ing off cogged CD's. Here at least, either the venue has a PPI + IMRO licence, or you do - about 9 euros an event from the PPI, can't remember what an IMRO single event one costs... but it only covers you playing off legitimate media, that you have purchased.

For an approaching amateur disc monkey who plays shite nightclubs down the bogs occasionally, etc, CD mixers are a god send - vinyl is expensive, it can get damaged quite easily, etc. CD's also let you completely and utterly cheat and use a laptop - hey, if Paul Van Dyk does it, it has to be OK!

I've done in my hearing long past being able to notice any difference between a CD and vinyl quality wise.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Are you insane?

Vinyl kicks the ass of digital media. The sound is so much better.

 

[tinx]

I have Decks and shed loads of vinyl altohugh I don't have much time to play them anymore as other things get in the way. Plus I have almost the whole lot on my PC as mp3s and its just easier.

 

[rool]

I need to copy my Peters & Lee albums onto cd, how do I do it?

 

[FamilyGuy]

I still play 78's - I've got 100's of them, they were my dad's and they help me to remember him.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

I have A SL1210 and still play loads of vinyl, better than antiseptic CD's by a street! Nothing beats the feeling of unwrapping that cellophane!
