Vinyl

No, I don't have a record player anymore, so vinyl is out.

I have a turntable and prefer to put everything on cassette to record copy.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jesse Pearson on 24 January 2004 at 06:56 PM.]</p></FONT>

I have a turntable and have been experimenting with "cleaning up" some old steel LP's and transferring them to CD via the computer.

Survey sez....yes.

I got one.

Heartland America sells a combination CD player and turntable in one unit. It is made
by Teac and plays 3 speeds 33 45 and 78. The price I belive is $149.00..Im not sure of the 800# but you can look on the Internet for info. It does a good job.

Thorens makes a 3 speed with a 78 speed as well but the cost is over $300.00. J&R Music
World in NYC sells them. Maybe Howard can post the 800 number and, or the website. Thorens is made in England and is a top notch turntable,but thats a lot of vinyl at $300.00.

I've got one.

I gots.

Vinyl rules.

Back to Mono!!

Vinyl rules!!!! I have two turntables, the favorite being a Thorens 135 from the early 60's, plays all speeds and has a pitch control. CD's are handy but for an ultimate listening pleasure I choose vinyl.

I have one in my den system and copy to cassette on ocassions and sometimes to CD.
Have a lot of LP's I still listen to.

I have a serious Thorens turntable and classic Mac's with Klipschorns and a dozen boxes of LPs and 78's in all genres...

All in storage on another continent.

I can't even find a turntable to borrow here to listen to the HCOA album and put it on CD for myself.

But I imagine there defintely are homes awaiting for Tom's old steel records

b0b, add me to the list of turntable users.
I have two systems and three turntables and can play 78, 45, 33 1/3 rpm.
I have purchased albums from Tom Bradshaw in the past and am interested in what you will have for sale.

Oh, by the way, you might want to check them because I got a warped one from Tom. Some of his storage may not have been optumum.
I pressed it between glass sheets to remove the warp.

b0b, we've got a couple around the house and we listen to some of the old vinyls quite frequently. and we still are moving some of our best loved ones to cd's. we would be interested in what you have.

The spirit be with you!
If it aint got a steel, it aint real

I still have a turn table and an 8 track, and use them both! I vote YES

I still have one. And I use it.

I have an old Luxman turntable but I need a new needle...can anyone recommend a place where I can buy one...or give me a phone number. Thanks

I have a 30 year old AR (Acoustic Research) turntable with a 5 lb platter and an Empire cartridge. It's pretty nice, but it lives in its (original) carton in a closet unless I need it to transfer some LP track to CD.

If I were to pick between LP and cassette formats, I think I'd go with LP. The fidelity is better and the speed is more likely to be accurate (cassette players seem to be all over the map regarding tape speed). But once the LP was in my hands I'd transfer it to hard disk and then to CD, and put the LP in storage.

Funny thing. I just got through ordering a turntable to pick up at Circuit City today. Have lots of vinyl. I am going to convert most of my LP's and cassettes to CD. I have a storage problem and the LP's take up too much space. I will probably keep all the steel records and take the rest to the local used record shop and see if they want them.

Although I have a CD burner in my stereo setup, I am curious as to how you guys hook a turntable to a computer. That software that removes hiss interests me.

Gordon... I believe that copying anything that is copyrighted (CD, LP, Tape, Video, etc..) and then selling is illegal unless you have permission from whoever owns the rights. I believe that the law reads that you can copy these things only for YOUR OWN personal enjoyment. I think that you are not even allowed to copy and give away the copies. You are allowed to make a copy and then sell the original as you paid for that (I hope) and it is yours to do what you want with it. I wish this wasn't the case as I want copies of some out of print records and old TV shows that some people have and would pay top dollar for them.

And b0b, since I will have a turntable again, I would be interested in some of the LP's also.

I still have a turntable, and prefer LPs to cassettes, for sonics and graphics both.
By the way, I haven't done so myself yet, but I have friends who have invested the 30 or so bucks for a little phono preamp from Radio Shack so they can record their LPs into the computer hard drive.

Yes, I still use my turntable. My preference:

1 Vinyl
2 CD
3 Cassette

Count me in! Though I play CD´s a lot also, I´ll never part with my vinyl records and regularly go shopping around the used record markets.
About the difference: Hard to tell. Vinyl records sound a lot warmer, sometimes more pleasant to listen to. On the other hand, when there´s steel related music I´d like to play along with, CD´s are more practical to use and I´ve also found that the sound is sometimes clearer if I want to figure out something. But personally, when I´m looking for a certain record, I don´t really care that much if it´s on vinyl or CD as long as I can get hold of it somehow.
