    Looking for opinion on which record to get.

    Hello, I am looking for a very good condition copy of abacab and I sent an offer to a seller on ebay, he said that there are pops and crackle on this one but judging by the recording he sent me it seems very quiet. There was another seller who sent me one and they rated it near mint and it sound...

    Just got a bunch of old vinyl from my Dad...

    A lot of it is in great shape and I've been listening to it non-stop! However, a lot of it is in not so great shape. Evidently he was storing them in his basement a long time ago and there was a flood D: so many of the records have the paper casing stuck on to them, lots of dirt etc. It seems I...

    Interference problem with Schiit Valhalla amp

    I'm having some trouble with my tube amp. I'm in the middle of ripping some vinyl albums to my computer and I am getting this awful hum. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uenwdb7t018btog/interference.wav?dl=0 when I plug directly into my sound card the hum goes away so I am assuming it is being picked...

    Interesting day for turntables and vinyl

    Today was an interesting day, aside from the fact my new wife is upset with me. Why, you may ask? Well, let me tell you. Today, I had planned on picking up a Sony 5520 turntable from my friend. It was part of a deal we struck just before he went on vacation. So I picked it up, and he showed...

    Which receiver should I buy with these prices?

    Just bought a brand new ATLP120USB and now I'm going with a vintage receiver. I've found the prices below (I know they're overpriced by US standards, but that's how things are where I live --- everything is overpriced). Considering they're all at the same condition: Are the more expensive ones...

    Otis Redding Vinyl Reissue: Digital Or Analog?

    I'm looking at buying Otis Redding Live In Europe on vinyl. There is the original 1967 release, but I'm also considering a reissue from 2003. How do I find out if the 2003 version stayed in the analog universe, like the Beatles mono remasters from 2014, for example? And in general on other...

    Turntable Dust Cover: Up Or Down

    A little poll. Who uses their turntable with the dust cover up, down, does it depend, or do you not have one? Personally, I use mine up, because most of my vinyl listening is while I'm archiving them to my computer. If I listen to a record just to listen to it, I'm more likely to have the cover...

    New to site, looking for advice. My girl got me an Audio-Technica AT-LP120 turntable. I did not want to bother connecting it to my AV Yamaha so opted to use my old Kenwood KR-A20 receiver. Yup, the one with a built in eq. OK noise maker but that is about it. For speakers I have a pair of Polk...

    Hello from San Francisco, CA!

    I am a prodigal son who has only just returned to vinyl after many years wandering the digital wastelands. I spent so much time listening to MP3s on earbuds and tinny little speakers that I forgot many of the things I love about my favorite music. In an attempt to rekindle my love of music I...
