What makes a turntable worthwhile? I want to buy into the meme
>>70871292
They're super fun to have, cool to look at, and a super worthwhile way to listen to music at home. It's a blast for you and guests, and it's great furniture.
Personally I find something unique about putting on a physical record. Even if I have nice speakers hooked up to my computer, something about a digital music player makes me keep skipping around my library and not even finishing songs.
As someone who wants to experience albums front to back, I somehow find vinyl easier to do so on, whereas I almost never finish a record that I'm listening to on my computer or iPhone. Can't explain that. I guess I find you just develop more of a relationship with a record when it's something you touch and commit to.
But if nothing else, it's great fun. I finally pulled the trigger on an AT-LP120 and some AudioEngine A5+s and have been incredibly happy. Prior to that, I had just been dabbling with old all-in-ones from the 70s that I nabbed from my grandparents.
Pic related, it's my stuff. I know I should have the speakers on stands--miss me.
Also worth mentioning that the sound is incredible. It sounds bigger and deeper and better than even my nicest headphones ever have.

The only really main thing you need to be absolutely sure you have if you're buying a turntable is a counterweight. If it doesn't have one it's most likely a piece of junk that will ruin your records.
>>70871440
This is mostly true, but if you want to scoop up something like an ATLP60, that's going to be fine 99.999999% of the time.
It's super hard to get advice for this stuff because Crosley people won't say anything, and the people who do speak up are in so deep that they can't really remember the entry stage with a clear head.
The worst and most annoying self-identifying "audiophiles" are turntable dudes. Lifehacker (or maybe Gizmodo) has some really great guides to owning your first table. Maybe check those out.

Generally speaking albums where it makes you want to go for it/ get the girl/feel masculine etc.
I don't know how to phrase it really, but i think you get the gist. GO!

What album have you listened to the most in your entire life?
>>70870604
In the Aeroplane
Also, why did they have to replace the original Moon & Antartica cover art? The new one is garbage compared to the original.

One of these threads
Someone choose a Herbie album and I'll do a rating chart for it.
I'm having a really hard time deciding.

Cringy reddit memes aside, what do you think of /r/postpunk's post-punk listening guide.
>>70870071
Sanic is a /mu/ trip tho, and i think he made a more updated chart
>start with joy division
instant fail. oh well, there is a chance that anyone involved with that chart will off themselves so there's that
I thought that chart was made here. Also there's one that is finished and has another subgenres or two.

I've yet to come across something on this board which I haven't already heard.
Have you ever stopped liking someone only because of their pleb taste?
>>70869669
No
People do this?
I do still severely judge people that say how "really into music" they are then listen to nothing but pop punk and alt rock
My best friend's taste of music is so shitty. He constantly plays the most popular songs by bands and shitty soundcloud music. I don't like him because of his pleb taste. After years of hanging out, I have realized he is stuck up princess who thinks he is better than me. He also thinks I am a retard.
>>70869741
what an asshole, have you tried having a girl best friend? its comfy af, they don't care about your tastes and shit
Where do you guys get your music now that What is dead

I'm interested to see what /mu/ thinks about this. Is it a real problem or are they just complaining about a non-issue?

>In 8 catagories no women were recognized at all, and in over 12 additional categories, only 1 in 5 of the nominees included a woman. Specifically in the areas of production and engineering, it is discouraging to not see a single woman represented.
Is there a single notable female producer in the industry right now? I doubt Tegan and Sarah coudln't name a single one because there are none.
For anyone saying "the world of music production should stop being so exclusive" literally anyone with a computer and a DAW can be a music producer. It's the same shit with computer science all over again. There are no women in the industry because it doesn't appeal to most women, simple as that.

let's try and be a bit more constructive and a bit less /pol/ in this thread shall we?
>LGBTQIAA
just abandon the word while you can

>>70869388

>>70869388
He still has a lot of fans, but they are fading out unfortunately.
>>70869388
I still like him, but he's not as big as he was a few years back
