Vinyl

 

there are multiple copies of the most popular supertramp albums

a copy of In the court of the crimson king that looks like it was used as a skipping stone - on a road.

several copies of Fleetwood mac rumors ..

tons of misc stuff ..

 

I feel a bit iffy sending these to anyone - even for free. not sure they're worth the price of the postage because of the condition of the ones I've checked so far.

 

If anyone is still interested I can take a few photos .. there are 3 good sized boxes packed with albums.

I wont get rid of them - i'll stow them away in the basement .. so there is no time limit on the offer ...

 

i got doubles from friends who dumped their collections on me when i was the only one still holding onto vinyl, and i cant believe the condition of a lot of them. The only reason i didn't throw them away - is that i seem to be unable to throw vinyl away!

 

I'll pm a list over the weekend if i get the chance - noting the condition ... i'll eliminate anything that's visually bad right off the top.

(the heartbreaker is all the old original beatles releases that are just a mess - cool for the covers i guess)

4 more... 3 to go to complete Bowie 1969-1980.

Young Americans, Modern Love and Heroes to name a few.

 

man - I don't have your ear - everything sounded good to me - on some half assed stereo :)

 

I think you're probably a 90 - 100% guy when it comes to knowledge/expectations/commitment to high end audio.

 

i'm about 50- 60%  I want something decent - that will last.  not absolute crap but not the highest end either because I could never afford it ... plus I enjoy my listening experience.

 

not saying either is wrong or right - but it helps you to know where I am on the scale when you ask a question like that :)

 

Sony was always good enough for me  hahahaha

 

(I do have infinity speakers though)

 

so - yeah - it sounded good but it was all I knew! :)

 

Ur funny  I too cannot afford the gear that I would like, this is a hobby so I pay cash for anything I buy. I am more into matching gear for best performance...system synergy. What I have sounds as good in some cases better than system costing 2x as much. I have been to every audio store in Tacoma/Seattle and other places, I have heard systems costing $50k+. Sure some sound insane, so realistic and revealing that you cannot believe what you are hearing.

I sat and listened to a $35K system once and was dumbfounded as to why it sounded so bad....More money does not always equate to better sound.

 

I don't care what you have just as long as it sounds good to you. I buy what I can afford comfortably and what sounds good to me.....I read and research everything I buy, over and over, whether I spent $1500 or $150, I educate myself.

 

My system is not considered high-end audio, but that is a label and I don't care. It sounds brilliant to me and that is all that matters, brings a smile to my face when I sit down and listen.

 

We all know that vinyl in the 90'-00's sounds bad in a lot of cases, compared to vinyl of the 70's...in general. Vinyl has gotten much better, better than I think digital has gotten which is a shame because I think digital should be hands down the best audio you could hear.
