The Vinyl/Collector's Thread

That website had a pretty decent and eclectic selection, but those prices though....

Not sure Im willing to pay that much for the new UA right now, but thanks for the link bro.

Every uncle acid vinyl I've bought so far cost me $30+ so I figured it was just par for the course.

 

[RedStorm]

Is collecting vinyl cost beneficial?
ive only really collected Cd's and cassettes.

Does vinyl sound better then digital or cassette tapes?

 

[Omni]

Vinyl does sound better, but it requires more care to maintain and they can become worn out after extensive play. They're amazing as long as you don't wreck them.

 

[CiG]

And as long as your turntable isn't a piece of shit.

 

[RedStorm]

Ah, cool deal.
It'll probably be a waste of money for me then. I'll just wait 3 years till I'm out of the house

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Is collecting vinyl cost beneficial?

No, not at all.

and CD's usually sound much better than vinyl.

 

[RedStorm]

hmm.

well i have recently been getting into collecting cassettes. i assume theyre the worst of the three sound wise?

 

[MetalAges]

Cassettes = certain kind of special, nostalgic quality

 

[RedStorm]

ah.

figured as much

 

[CiG]

They sound like shit, but for me it's part of the appeal.

 

[KafkaX]

^ Most definitely. I just started collecting a few cassettes too.

CD's generally sound better than vinyl cause most people dont dump a buttload of cash on a sick setup like I did. Theyre easier to maintain, take up less space, cost less and sound good.

Even still, vinyl all the way for me.

I got the Midnight mirror waiting for me at my house, btw. Pics coming soon.

 

[CiG]

I don't know that CDs sound better than vinyl if in both situations you're packing a baller setup and I personally feel like it matters what styles of music you mostly listen to.

Picked up some vinyl my dad was throwing away:

The one on the left looked funny to me, and wanted to hear how orchestral music sounded on vinyl

Now metal. some cds. Serpent - Ablation, Scythian - Hubris in Excelsis, Swarp - Omines Pestilentiae, Death Karma - The history of Death and Burials Part 1, Mortuary Drape

 

[KafkaX]

Some sick jams on those records! Especially MJ's THRILLER. So legit.

20BuckSpin added some sweet Vinyl to their distro, including a Whore of Bethlehem repress.

I planned on hitting some record stores this weekend, and this is perfect timing because one of the spots on my list was Vacation Vinyl, where 20BuckSpin operates out of. This weekend is gonna rule.

Agonia Records has the Aosoth's new EP on Pre-Order, but it costs more to ship than it does for the record...

If anyone sees a US distro putting these out, please update the thread!

 

[Krow]

I'll let you know if I see it but the only distro I know that stocks Agonia is Ominous Domain and his vinyl is usually pretty expensive.

Some vinyls I've bought while my absence from the forum. The Morbid Angel is an old one but just wanted to brag that I got it signed when I saw MA back in 2014. Still waiting on '...And Justice For All' though. The freaking store is 3 months late with it now.

 

[CiG]

Awesome, are those current reissues? They look nice.

 

[End of Glory]

Thanks. The Metallica vinyls are reissues. If those are what you're referring to.
