Yup, vinyl.

Who out their still enjoys some of their favourite albums on a good ol' turntable, right now I'm listening to Exodus' Fabulous Disaster on a record my mum probably bought in the 80's xD

Sounds great, the needle is a little old so it's a bit noisy, but it's bloody great.


Hmm... 665 posts, where should I spent my 666th post?

I bought a new needle for my record player, that I pulled out of the attic, a couple months ago. I love that thing but would really like to get a better power amp and pair of speakers. Nothing beats vinyl but it sure is a lot bigger than an IPOD.

I love my record collection, the last couple records I spun was Dead Boys, and the album "Go Girl Crazy" by the Dictators. Since you're a metal head you should check them out, it was Ross the Boss's band before he joined Man-O-War. Also him and the singer did another hard rock heavy metal project called Manitoba's Wild Kingdom which is worth checking out as well.

I have a pretty massive stereo set up. Three different SS amp and one tube Hi Fi amp. I have a super nice Pioneer PL-550 turntable. The cartridge cost $200. I have every AC/DC album ever made on vinyl. Lot's of Bon Scott. I also have my original Led Zep and Deep Purple's first four albums. I have two good size boxes full of albums. My second wife made off with some of them. The bitch.

Damn Marty, I wouldn't take that if I were you.

I'd love to get the soundtrack to The Song Remains The Same on vinyl and listen to it through a nice tube amp, I love that recording.

I'm most likely doing a pretty small beginning electronics engineering course next year, If I pick up on it enough I might start a tube hifi build. That or just buy a kit and chuck it together, decent hifi tube amps are so expensive xD

Well what I did for almost three years was buy old tube amps on EBAY and modify them into Hi Fi or guitar amps. I have two 35 watt RCA amps that sound just like a Fender Tweed. Hey, I just remembered, that's where Fender got the idea for their first amp. Yeah, those RCA's are nice, but they don't have a cabinet. When you play them, you are looking right at the tubes.

Anyway, there are always tube stereo amps for sale, either working or not. If you pick up on trouble-shooting tube amps, this is a great way to get into a great tube Hi Fi amp.

I prefer the sound of my tube amp over the SS stuff. I think I told you already that I run a SS amp to a subwoofer and then crossover at 100Hz to the tube amp and into some custom three-way speakers. This allows me to get some loud volume out of my tube setup.

I also get to use some of my nicer 12AX7 tubes in the preamp with two 7025's.

Something on my wish list is a tube powered headphone amp. They are frickin' cool. You can swap tubes and hear the difference really good.

Building my own hifi amp would be way funner I reckon, and I could get it exactly how I want it.

I'd probably build something with more power than I need just so I never have to worry about break up if I wanna listen to blasting music.

I just pre-ordered the Skinny Puppy - Last Rights re-issue on vinyl. I'm not much of a collector though. I have some old vinyl like Kiss, Dead Kennedys, Venom, Wasp, Elvis amongst others. All the soft stuff was my Grandmom's which she gave me before she moved. I'll need a new needle for my table before I crank up Last Rights. I haven't played anything on it in over a decade. The last records I remember playing were my Halloween sound effect albums.

Venom records xD Brilliant.

I have a lot of cassettes from the 80s. Not too much vinyl. The Venom vinyl is American Assault. I have a bunch of their cassettes too. I have all the early Exodus, Slayer, etc on cassette. Nowadays, vinyl is so expensive, I wish I had collected those instead of cassettes I probably would have worn them out anyways. My copy of Bonded By Blood is shot.

I'm surprised my copy of Fabulous Disaster is so good still. Sounds awesome. Mums bf has a copy of a Black Sabbath from the late 70s or early 80s and it's so fucked.

Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, Molly Hatchet, Radiohead, the Beatles, Robert Goulet's X-mas album...they all sound better on vinyl! Mine is from the 80s and has a 'seek' feature...sweet!
