Vinyl thread
#1

I know a number of hipbasers listen to vinyl but there is no place we discuss it outside of occasional posts about hip vinyl. Thought it might be fun to start a thread dedicated to vinyl: What we're listen to, what we're listening on, albums we're looking for, albums we have to trade etc.

I have a music hall turntable http://www.uptownaudio.com/Music%20Hall/mmf5.jpg

Amp is Cambridge Sr-10 (might be wrong about the model #)

Wharfdale speakers http://www.avland.co.uk/aasp/wharfedale/...0.1lrg.jpg


I try to buy vinyl direct from the artists (especially Canadian artists!) whenever I see them in concert. The collector in me goes after full discographies when practical/possible, sadly with Hip vinyl it sometimes isnt practical :lol:

Two examples of Canadian artists I've been seeing live for years are Sloan and Hayden. Twice removed is the only Sloan first pressing I still need, apart from a few promos/singles which I havent been able to find yet. For Hayden the last piece of my album puzzle is Moving Careful plus his singles. I have an extra copy of Sloan's 1993/1999 limited live bootlegs and Hayden's Everything I long for to swap if anyone can help me fill in these collections.

A few sought after albums:

Phish - Story of the ghost and Farmhouse
Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets
Silverchair - Frogstomp (it was the first CD I ever owned)

Sub $10K. I'm a tube guy. You can get into a really nice sounding tube setup for around $2K, including amp, table and speakers. I recently upgraded from a rebuilt vintage Scott Int tube amp, which I ran for over 5 years. Tubes and The Hip :music

I've been spinning a lot more vinyl lately.

A few years ago I picked up a Project Expression III turntable, and a 1970's Marantz 2235b receiver to connect it to. Love the sound!

If anyone is interested in upgrading, or finding good deals on used equipment, keep an eye on Canuck Audio Mart -> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/">http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/</a><!-- m -->
