Are you still addicted to vinyl or do you now source your music otherwise?

[Hepcat]

Some bands are going back to analog recording nowadays....maybe if any of that comes out and interests me, I'll buy it on vinyl, but I cannot see buying a digital recording pressed to vinyl.

You're right. A digital recording pressed on vinyl will have all the disadvantages of both digital and vinyl without the advantages of an analog recording, that being a fuller, richer, warmer sound.

In amongst all the boxes and old computers were two unused "DJ" turntables, yep...brand spankin' new. I had to buy a cartridge/needle is all. When I got home I researched them, and found out they retailed for like $650 each.

What model were they?

gemini XL-500 II.  Hopefully I'll never have to buy another turntable in my lifetime.

Since I own an iPhone now I stream music through the Youtube ap a lot. However, I own so many CDs. I think the CD is the Vynal of the 90s generation. There are some of us who will ALWAYS listen to CDs, the same way so many people STILL listen to vynals. CDs defined an era, as did vynals. We keep that era alive by listening and enjoying our CDs. As a matter of fact, I need a new discman.

I chose Vinyl, 8-track, and cassettes, but I think vinyl is the greatest

I listen to ancient music, so yes, vinyl is where it's at for me most of the time, or CDs of the same, if I don't have it on vinyl. 45s, albums, and 78s.

A few  years ago, I was on vacation in Key West and a business next door to our hotel lost it's lease or something, and they dumped everything in the building out on the curb as garbage. In amongst all the boxes and old computers were two unused "DJ" turntables, yep...brand spankin' new. I had to buy a cartridge/needle is all. When I got home I researched them, and found out they retailed for like $650 each. Now that was a good vacation!

I bet Elvis sounds FANTASTIC on those turntables!! Of course, he sounds fantastic anyway, but you get the point.

I have Loved Vinyl since 1964,I have over 1000 45's and 864 Lp's...But I also have Many CD's, All of my music is on my computer in itunes.

[Hepcat]

But if you have the records, how can you bear to listen to the lossy result of compressing them into iTunes? Isn't your turntable any good?

I have one of these too, but yet I still buy turntables. . Its a sickness. seriously.
I see a record player, and I like " have to " buy it. Like a compulsion . . sigh...
anyways.. you rock for having one of these !!!!

[Hepcat]

Well then please buy one of these Thorens TD350 turntables for me. That way you won't have to worry your little head about finding room for it.

[Monster Bob]

Thank you, missdead. I am very happy with it. I love the speed control, on/off switch, etc.

I also have one of those Crosley 1940s art deco-ish radio/turntable combos out in the garage. It looks surprisingly authentic for one of these things (it looks like it is made of bakelite),  a self-contained unit to play 78s, 45s, etc. and it sounds pretty good for its small size. I think it cost like $125 or something, new at the time. I've been using it several years.

So how many of you other folk still addicted to vinyl?

I know UMA brothers Mars and Mord still collect vinyl and cds, but these days I'm strictly digital. I love physical media, i still collect comic books, dvds, and blue-rays. But that's part of the issue here. Because of that I don't have the room to set up a dope stereo system and display vinyl and cd collection. Two of my younger brothers are hipster, audiophiles and have large vinyl collections. So at least I can jam with them sometimes. 

[Mike...In 3-D!]

I'll buy horror movie soundtracks or related items (like original spooky synth music) on vinyl. I have my favorite stuff on vinyl (Bouncing Souls, Misfits, Samhain, The Cramps) but pretty much anything else is CD. If for some reason it's not available on CD, I'll do digital. I don't do strictly digital because stuff isn't always available in that format, and CDs and what not do go out of print. Because of that I grab a physical copy whenever possible.

As Geezer stated in his post. I sure do collect vinyl records. Only specific genres and bands. Having a massive vinyl collection does not appeal to me.  My vinyl collection is a small one. As is my compact disc collection. Only collecting rare or hard-to-find compact discs. Mostly Hard Rock, Metal, Garage Rock, Punk Rock, Dark/New Wave , Soundtracks,  Halloween and Horror related content.
