How do you listen to music at home?

[Spiff]

Tattoed Millionaire?

Correct. As a prize, you get to sleep with one of my brothers. You can choose which one.

 

[Southy]

I listen to a fucking loud stereo system, it's ace as pie.

I should listen to Train of thought again, it's a while since I have bothered listening to it

 

[Connie Fixx]

pioneer DVDA player hooked upto an old bang and olufsen amp and me in my jocks

 

[KoichCPA]

You have a double vaginal double anal player?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Thats what I was thinking Koich.

I mostly listen to cds and mp3 cds in the car, mp3s from my PC through my Kenwood hi-fi, or cds through said hi-fi. The PC sounded shithouse through it until recently, and I don't really know why, but ever since I took the hi-fi outside for a party a few weeks back and hooked it back up, it sounds ace.

 

[Winmar]

I listen to the Sony stereo I bought in 1996. Pretty good, but it could do with a bit more bass. Here at my gran's I listen to my late Grandad's Yamaha system.

 

[Goreripper]

We have a 25-disc stacker system. It rules.

 

[Winmar]

I need an LP player. I'll also need an amplifier to link it through to my stereo, won't I?

 

[KoichCPA]

It depends.

Does your sterio have an auxillery slot?

 

[Lord Tim]

You need a preamp at least if you want to hook up through the AUX input, unless your stereo has a PHONO input (which has preamp circuitry bulit in).

 

[Winmar]

Um let me see, I think it has an AUX input and left and right inputs, but I'll have to check again. *mental note to investigate later when I get home*

 

[Southy]

stop with the mental notes Winny,. or else you might go mad

 

[Winmar]

I'm already going slightly mad, Southy. Comes with supporting the clubs I do and listening to raucous (sp?) music.

 

[Southy]

But the clubs you support are stupid anyway dude

 

[KoichCPA]

Um let me see, I think it has an AUX input and left and right inputs, but I'll have to check again. *mental note to investigate later when I get home*

No you, can get turntables from Tandy for 50 bucks roughly, with a preamp built in, that plugs straight into your aux ports.


You can also run these straight into your pc and record the vinyls to mp3.

very handy.

 

[Lord Tim]

Yep, this is very true! But yeah, any older style turntable will need a preamp (much like my top of the range one I got back in '88 does... and I don't have! *sigh*)

 

[Winmar]

That's why I'm going slightly mad, Southy!

Ah sweet, thanks for the tipofff Josh. I'll get my arse down to Tandy to have a look. I'm starting an LP collection. Apart from anything else it's heaps cheaper to buy back catalogues of people like Alice Cooper on LP than it is on CD.

 

[KoichCPA]

If you don't already have a turntable Rob, I suggest spending a bet extra to get a brand spanking new one from Tandy.

Seriously, they are utterly brilliant.

You know they have no wear and won't need new belts for them in 2 weeks.

 

[Winmar]

Oh yeah, is there much difference in quality between the old ones and the new ones? Would newer ones be as good as yours, Timmah?

 

[KoichCPA]

They are all basically the same technology, there isn't many variables that can change the sound of a turntable in my opinion. The only one I can think of is the stylus, and you can buy a top notch diamond tip one for fuck all.
