A good turntable is not actually that expensive.


Yes but a better turn table is

and a great turntable is even more

Audio hobby is not a cheap one.

CDs on the other hand have no advantages when compared to digital music.

CD is digital, but with First Sale rights.

Nearly every music CD I've bought has cost $30+ each. Vinyl doesn't seem that expensive.

You'd be completely fine with a $100 Audio Technica LP60 tbh.

You can get double LP 180 grams cuts brand new foor around $20 if you look hard enough.

Some stuff you're gonna pay for sure but they typically hold their value if you take care of them. In some cases go up in value.

Depends on a lot of things.

What kind of speakers do you have?
How big is the room?
What type of cart do you have?
What kind of pre-amp do you have?
What kind of receiver?
What kind of music do you like?
What kind of rack do you have?
What kind of room is it carpet, wood floors, concrete?

One simply can't just buy a $100 TT off Amazon and be "completely fine"

Eh the used stuff is usually old stuff. My
Girlfriend has enough of that. She has a stack from her parents probably up to 6ft high. Brought over def Lep, lyn, AC/DC,.

Sounds like she doesn't if she's listening to vapid bands like that.

Please quit calling them "vinyls" goodness gracious

You have a better word?


Sorry I missed this yesterday, but yes, people typically call them records.


A Vinyl is a specific type of record. 78s (vintage stuff) aren't made from Vinyl. 33s and 45s are Vinyl.

78s are made from Shellac. They don't play on most turntables that play Vinyl.

It's not "A Vinyl", it's "a vinyl record", a record made out of vinyl. If you ask somebody at the record store if they have any new Vinyls in stock, you just sound like a weirdo.

Err... no.

If you do this at some place like Barnes and Nobles, the nearest CS rep will just point you to the proper section.

If you specifically to a record store and ask if they have "records" you're being a moron because it's like going into gamestop and asking if they have games. You can and do go into those places and ask "Do you have (album title) on Vinyl" and no one will look at you funny as these places will also usually carry CDs and cassettes so it's important to specify what medium you want it on.
