The best sonic investment I ever made

[Tommy Eisen]

These old ghetto blasters sound unreal. The bass guitar actually really sounds like a real bass amp is in the room with you. Best $50 I ever spent at antique store.

I wish I still had mine. It got wrecked in the flood. Still played cassettes good without dragging or eating tape. Mine was prolly made in 83 or 84 (?)

Put this in the FX loop.

I honestly did expect a sonic maximizer.

But on the real, cabinet style record players are the shit, son.

'Slip It In' on vinyl....awesome. I've got 'My War' on vinyl...probably one of my favorite recordings ever.

Fuck yeah.

People that have never been in a room with one of those probably think this is a joke. Gramps had/has one of these. It's no joke. Best fucking sound EVER from a stereo. His has Vinyl and 8-track input, and TONE FOR DAYZ!

I wish I had some way to transport this thing. Gramps is gone, and uncle's asking me if I want anything from the house. It's 500 miles away and that's literally ALL that I could possibly want other than his old saxophone.

Yup, mine has vinly and 8 track too. I think It's 1976 Zenith. Like seriously best sound ever. I threw this bitch in my wifes mini van. If you can carry a 4x12, this is only slightly harder, but only because of the odd shape.

I just got my first real turntable. It's new school but it still plays the good stuff.

Today I rocked:

Steel Panther : Balls Out
Bad Religion : The Process of Belief
Ted Nugent : Ted Nugent

People who don't like vinyl or think it's a waste of time/money really don't like music.

Awesome. But I wouldn't go so far as to say they don't like music. From a purely mastering stand point though vinyl intrinsically sounds way different than digital because it has to be mastered less compressed for vinyl.

Yes it does. It's the whole noise floor thing. And having to master it within the limitations of the working principles (RIAA curve, etc)

Somebody once told me that the hiss from the noise floor during silent parts of a song while playing vinyl was just the turntable's way of saying "don't worry man, I'm still here with you."

That guy was also kinda nuts.

Dude. That is fucking awesome score. I need a turntable so bad. I have a decent selection of vinyl and no way to play it.

[leftyaxeman]

Vinyl!!! Nothing digital sounds as good as ol' school vinyl!!! Nothing.

Got one of those for my 10th birthday in 1982. Best fucking birthday present ever! I'll bet I played KISS ALIVE II 10,000 times on that thing. I was a latch key kid so I cranked the shit out of that thing. It sounded so huge. That record player had as much of a music influence on me as any band or instrument.

My mom still has it at her house.

People who think that need to hear any of the Ramones' first four albums, or Black Sabbath's first four albums, at decent volume on vinyl. I can't even say more than that without sounding like a douche.
