Did you ever think of setting up Thumped Records?

yes

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Since the hunger strikes of 1981 I think the longest I've ever gone without buying a record is about two weeks.

My latest machine is a Thorens TD 150 MK-II. 1973 model. I also have two KAM decks which need fixing.

Never got the CD hatred though. They both have their place. I think the born again vinyl junkies despise CDs the most.

Confession: I haven't owned a record player in years. Am I alone?

i intend buying a nice one , once i find somewhere to put it

My turntable is in the attic and my records are in boxes in the shed (& my parents attic)

One day etc etc

I have six turntables.
I have never bought a CD.
I am brilliant.

Actually six turntables and a gramaphone!

Pete, have a look at the Project turntables. The Debut III is a nice one for a very decent price

I have a project-audio one, i forget which kind, it has a carbonfibre arm which your man in the shop convinced me was worth the extra €100 although i doubt i'd be able to tell the difference between this and the cheaper one. apparently having to lift up the turntable and prick around with a system of wheels and elastic bands when you want to change from 45 to 33 makes for a better hi-fi listening experience but I just find it a pain in the hole, i hardly ever listen to my 45s on account of this irritating set up. it was the best i could afford at the time.

if a hypothetical man were to be considering a record player, what should he be getting? hypothetically.

like the reviews say:
"It makes a slight buzzing noise when turned on, but you don't hear it when the record is playing."
"wanted so much to be able to play my old records and expecially now with Christmas around the corner i wanted to sit in my rocking chair, beside a cheerful fire, and listen to those good old Christmas songs, while the ceder tree glistens with Christmas lights in the background.

Can you think of anything nicer?

I know i sound like an old grandmother, but I'm only 31."

It takes all of 5 seconds. That's just stone cold laziness. You must hate double LPs!
