Either way a physical product is a physical product, and CDs are better than cassettes

I don't understand casuals man. why does this shit happen?

>>70207229
>used
Some people don't like jipos?

>>70207229
Because they need that new Twentyone Pilots album in a format they can play on their cool crosley turntable

>>70207229

Because used vinyl is uncool. They'd rather buy The Beatles 1962-66 and Queen Greatest Hits brand new, pressed in 180 gram vinylssss

>>70206866
What are you trying to say?

I don't think you understand how data works

If you're staying fresh, get an AT-LP120 with a set of AudioEngine A5+ active 2-way speakers. Not only will you have a great setup that doesn't require you to mess around with a preamp or a stereo receiver, but it's almost the most versatile and best-looking set at the price point. Regas or Pro-jects are quality tables, but not better than an AT-LP120, plus I think they kind of look like dick, and are missing tons of functionality, and you'll probably have to worry about a belt.

People on this board are going to attempt to front on you for getting that set up, but only because people LOVE that set up, and it's fairly common among people who start with Crosleys, go to AT60s, and then graduate to the 120. Once you have the 120, you're only upgrade path would be to someday score a Technics 1200. Aside from that, get better speakers as you see fit. But shit, the AudioEngine A5's are incredible.

If you get those two things (and Amazon has a bundle with a spare cartidge and a record brush for the same price as a single AT-LP120) you could roll with them for life.

Seriously dude, you won't believe how good that shit sounds. Our parents grew up in the 70s and 80s and occasionally messed with grandma and grandpa's shitbag all-in-one record players with plastic BSR platters and the myth that records have a crackling, tinny sound is wild--but is being perpetuated accidentally by kids with Crosleys.

But records can sound so fucking bossssss

On top of that, my wife loves to go to Goodwill and Salvation Army, and all of those records are like 50 cents a pop. And I've never found one of my favorite albums, but at fifty cents, I'll take a chance on whatever weird shit, and in turn find some cool stuff.

Happy hunting! Here's some Amazon links.

maybe it's because you're autistic

>>70207405
very good advice, do this OP

>>70207405
>$140 shipping

Fuck, what's the point of buying shit online anymore.

>I want something new
AT-LP120
Pro-Ject or Rega if you have more money
Technics SL-1200 if you have even more money

>I want something vintage
Buy a used record player from Dual, Thorens, Pioneer, Lenco, Technics, whatever. It should have counter weight and anti skating.
Buy a new cartridge. Get the best you can afford.

>>70207756
Do you live on the moon, my man?

>>70207405
>Spending 500 on speakers
Yeah m8 just thrift an amp and passive speakers for next to nothing

>>70207868
Close, Australia.

do you think trump will make it legal to kill people who say 'vinyls' if I ask him nicely?

>>70205305
How is the at lp60? Im about to buy it if nobody stops me. Dont really want to spend the $300 for the lp120 yet

I have some decent bookshelf speakers and a decent amp atm, definitely will upgrade those in the future though

>>70207999
Don't buy the LP60 unless you intend on damaging your records.

>>70208010
>>70207999

Apparently the LP60 uses MM carts instead of ceramic, so in theory it doesn't have to track heavily for it to play properly, but I've seen LP60 track at 4.5 gram (almost the same as the cheap ceramic carts), so it's better to go for ATLP120 instead.

>>70207999
I'm 120 guy. Get the 60 if that's your price point! It's a million miles above anything else I'm its category--IE, Crosleys, really. Just get like 80-100 dollar bookshelf speakers if you can swing it.

Records getting damaged is a meme. They probably won't even meaningfully degrade in your lifetime.

>>70207903
kys poorfag

>>70208136
>They probably won't even meaningfully degrade in your lifetime.

Not on a properly set up turntable. LP60's tracking force varies with each unit, and might be just enough to cut your records' lifespam short

>>70208136
Really, check out some Gizmodo and Lifehacker turntable guides. Everybody here is a know-nothing snob.

At this stage, that's all the info you need, good buddy.

how the hell do i properly balance my turntable? i don't have any of these special tools goddammit

>>70208166
Yeah but this guy is looking to maybe get into vinyl. I'm willing to let him take the 1-in-500 chance that he might damage his records in a subtle way. His collection is probably 10-15 LPs, max. If he decides later to drop $800 bucks on a setup, he'll be invested enough to consider new copies anyway, if they're damaged at all.

>>70208263
yeah i only have 6 records atm and none of them are particularly valuable or rare

>>70208242

And you probably won't hurt them anyway. Go for the 60! I'm excited to hear more from you on this board in the future. Convenience plus: you can scoop up one of those at an FYE or a Barnes and Noble.

>>70208303

just call them records you donut

>>70208328
Literally NOTHING wrong with saying vinyls, dipshit.

Stanton t150 is pretty damn good

>>70208365

yes there is

you wouldn't call the plural of sheep "sheeps"

>>70208418
See >>70208303

1. Everyone knows exactly what the literal fuck you mean by vinyls
2. It's common fucking usage of the word
3. You're a blithering fucking idiot who don't understand language

>>70208454

Only millennials and newfags call vinyl records "vinyls"

>>70208327
thanks my dude :)

>>70208454
and u.

>>70208479
You're welcome good buddy! Shout out to the one other guy in the thread who wasn't an idiot. Break!

>>70205305

>tfw I know exactly which record store that OP pic was taken in

Recycled Records a best. REMOVE AMOEBA!

>>70208477
No, literally everyone says vinyls, you fucking imbecile. There's nothing wrong with it, stop believing you're better than anyone else because you "know" it's supposed to be "vinyl records". God, there's nothing more autistic.

>>70208575
the real term is gramophone records drown yourself

>>70208575
>No, literally everyone says vinyls, you fucking imbecile

No they don't. You grandparents and parents call them records, albums, whatever. Only you and other hip 15-year-olds call them vinyls

>>70208604
It's phonograph record, kindly go hang yourself.

>>70208620
Fun fact: you're a millennial. Millennials are people born in the early 80s to late 90s. Not "people born after 2000" which you seem to think.

Oh what was that, people don't use the word like that so that's not what it means really? Well whoppdiefuckingdoo.

You are now free to choose which word you are fucking wrong about:
1. millennial
2. vinyls

>>70208575
Voice of reason reporting
It doesn't matter, but: they are called records, most commonly, and calling them vinyls is a badge of being, if nothing else, young and new to the hobby.

But it doesn't matter. Also fuck trips

>>70208687

Millennial is more of a personality trait than a simple generation nomenclature.

>>70208687
People born before 2000 are Generation Y, but yeah, I get it.

BTW the only people who think of millenials as anyone born after 1982 are boomers who don't understand that we don't want to work shitty jobs and get buttfucked our entire life.

>>70208687

how does it feel to be a loosing looser you egg sandwich

>>70208687
>>70208789

Why are you arguing with yourself?

>>70208725
No, people call them vinyls and there's nothing wrong with that. The only people who will ever call someone else on the usage of the word "vinyls" is pretentious stuck up snobs who want to feel superior and people who want to use language as a shibboleth and keep others out of the hobby.

>>70208750
>>70208765
>but muh usage
>Millennials (also known as Generation Y, Generation Me, Echo Boomers, Peter Pan Generation) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and ending birth years ranging from the mid-1990s to early 2000s.

1. millennial
