Vinyl and Record Players

[DarkShadow]

Anybody here still listen to vinyl? (And not because you're a hipster)

If so, what kind of record player/turntable are you using?

I have a garage full of the most random albums, mostly stuff from hip hop's 'golden era,'(Beastie Boys, ATCQ, Pharcyde, etc) but also have quite a few reggae (Trojan dub collections, etc), classic rock (Floyd, Skynyrd, The Dead), jazz (Mingus, Coleman) and other random stuff (Wizard of Oz Soundtrack, all of Tool's albums).

I have 2 Technic 1200 M3Ds that I pulled outta storage a few weeks ago, and happily find out they were both in pristine condition. Apparently they're built llike tanks. (Then I checked eBay to find out I could fetch a pretty penny for both since they are no longer in production) I use two Shure M44-7 cartridges and a Vestax PMC-05 as my mixer.

I do not have my own turntable, but probably should. I have a small collection of vinyls, mostly my little brothers band, yeah, he puts his music out on vinyl and cassette. He has an inexpensive Audio Technica turntable, but a killer PA that we listen to vinyl on. My favorite is listening to a live recording of Yes "Round About" after a whiskey or two, lying on my back on the floor, looking up at the ceiling, and of course, playing air bass.

I got a Technics 1200 too. Find out they are worth several hunny on the bay. Great quality sound in vinyl.

My original Bob Marley records sound way better than "remastered" CDs (just one example). Records have a more original, earthy, thick and full sound. For some technical reason vinyl is the most accurate and full sounding copy of the original recording. More tracks to recording??? dunno??

We had one of these in our living room and my dad had a bunch of Bing Crosby records. I liked surfer music like the Ventures and Dick Dale and the Deltones.
