There is still plenty of vinyl on sale. I in fact have a set of decks myself and have both older and more recent material.

[Iceman]

yep I have tons of Vinyl, HMV over here is great for stocking it!

Plus i'd be screwed otherwise, Arctic Monkeys dont release CD singles anymore, only downloads and vinyl

Only for my own ears! Ha ha. I like to mix. Especially the old with the new. It is not a hobby though or anything. Just on the odd occasions.

[Scarlett.]

is it really better quality on Vinyl? :3 I dont get how they work

[Mrluvaluva]

I would say that some older stuff is much better on vinyl as in some cases it does not seem to transfer to Cd/Mp3 format as effectively and tends to lack in something which sometimes is down to poor re-mastering. The only trouble with vinyl is it can get scratched and jump etc. Some people say though small scratches add to the unique ambience of vinyl. Some Cd's have even had such an effect included purposely to make them sound old.

[pinkmichk]

i have 1 that was gifted to me from a friend no means to play it though i wont tell you what i do with records cos you vinyl lovers might hunt me down for crimes against vinyl

[arista]

I do as 12" remixes
are great.

Also some records do not get a CD release
due to Legal or Lost Original Tapes.


There are great Record Shops in London
and some around the country.

How Dare you put CD and MP3 in one bit

CD is above Record and has extra channels that cfan not come out on a LP.

MP3 is below Record in Quality.

And SACD 5.1
DVDA and DTS 5.1 are the best out there.

It is no Crime
as many LP's are melted back to pulp in the Factory.


It's your property
you are Free to do whatever you wish with it.

[MarkWaldorf]

I still have some tapes I got from the 90's! :p Steps, Aqua, Spice Girls. I don't think I even knew CD's existed.

My parents still have all their vinyls stored away somewhere. I remember seeing Michael Jackson's Thriller and Bad in there and it was like, wow!

[arista]

With better HiFi
it can be.

But I have a LP
and a CD version of a Quincy Jones 1975 recording
and the CD has extra Instruments that can not come out
of the 1975 Record.


So in Some Cases CD is Supreme

[arsenalforever]

[CaraRawr]

My dad has loads. We were browsing through the vinyls in Camden the other day actually <3

Many apologies Lord Arista. "goes to flog self"

Obviously alot depends on the equipment you're using - speakers and the like- but yes, the sound is better off vinyl. Much more depth to it.

[Tom]

I've got a load, I used to want to be a DJ, ha

[MassiveTruck]

Yes I have a lot.

[Harry!]

My mum has still got her old 80's vinals some of which are best selling and by people I like.

[Nurse57]

Yes, shed loads. Yes and yes.

How it works. The record has a groove in it. The groove has bumps in it. When you put the needle in the groove it bounces up and down. This inturn moves a magnet and copper coil. This creates an electro magnetic signal that is sent to an amplifier. The signal is boosted and sent to your speakers. In your speakers there is a magnet and coil. This moves the speaker cone to the same bumps in the record groove and the moving cone makes the sound you hear.

[InOne]

I have a vinyl jukebox, plays 7"

[Firewire]

I don't even collect CDs.

I only listen to music on my laptop, so CDs just gather dust tbh.

However, my dad has some vinyl records stored or stuffed up in the attic.

[Lauren]

I do own vinyl but only some limited edition stuff from a modern artist.
