They say vinyl has better acoustic qualities than digital as digital filters out too much sometimes...

[QUOTE=LukesVette]They say vinyl has better acoustic qualities than digital as digital filters out too much sometimes...[/QUOTE] That is right.There is a sound difference.Play a CD and then play the same ablum on vinyl,you'll be able to tell the diff.

[/QUOTE] I sure do remember the 8 track recorders.Never had one myself but a friend did.I would have him record some of my records onto 8 track.The one big problem with it was that you are recording along just fine and you run out of room on track one.It switches to track two and it would cut off some of the song.The factory 8 tracks weren't like that because they knew how much time they had on each track.We didn't.Man what a step back.I love it!!!!

[QUOTE=greypoupon69][QUOTE=zgator]Yeah.Old school is right on.All my Beatles albums are first pressings because I would buy them the day they came out.Does anybody rember Spooky Tooth and Blind Faith?[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] Hey Grey,I've got the CD (Blind Faith) at work,let me see if I can dig my album out real quick.........Darn,can't find it right now.I think that is the name though.I did see a sprit album and a Procol Harum album.I'll go through them and see if I can tickle your mind a little,allright?

Can anybody tell me the best way to store records.Virtical or Flat,one ontop of another?

i have mine in plastic containers on edge. make sure they stray straight as they can warp. also make sure they are not stored in very hot places. flat would be ok too as long as surface you lay them on is flat. if we were to name all the great bands that were around this would become the rock and roll forum. cream, traffic, elo,etc. as was said to me when i was young, "they don't make music like that anymore."

[QUOTE=zgator]For you younger guys,It plays the big black round things that are called ALBUMS.[/QUOTE]

When my kids were younger, one of them was whining about something, asking the same thing over and over again.  I said "You sound like a broken record!"  They had this blank look on their faces and asked "What's a broken record?"    Now they are very familiar with vinyl.  Several years ago, my husband bought me a refurbished jukebox that plays 45s.  I love it! 

I still play a Pioneer SX1080 receiver coneceted to it are a PL300 turntable & 2 CTF500 cassette decks with Altec Lansing tower speakers. Thats about as ol school as ya can get. I can't guess how many albums / cassettes I have. Most all are 60 / 70's vintage. GOOD STUFF..... To Me...
