The guy that runs the record store I frequent doesn't really fit into any of these profiles. The quiet, non-judgmental guy who instantly knows the location of any given record in the store, and the entire history of recorded music. You guys are missing out.

CPL593H posted:They were a precursor to surround sound. I'm not entirely sure, but I think they never really took off. Probably because it required you to have four speakers at a time when people generally didn't. I've never actually listened to one so I can't tell you how they sound. I haven't really come across them too often so it's a cool thing to find at the very least. You also needed a quad decoder receiver and generally a higher end cartridge to extract de-matrixing or subcarrier signals. There were several competing formats of varying quality both discrete and matrixed. Also the discrete records tended to wear out the subcarrier signal quite quickly. Also, found a record shop tonight I never knew about while I was wandering between pubs. It's about the size of a shoebox, but i'll check it out tomorrow! Quadraphonic sound!

cosmicjim posted:You could get a lovely portable turntable as an alternative. This. Personally, the best of the bunch for me is the Numark PT-01 and the Vestax Handy Trax. A word of warning, for whatever reason you might need to, for the love of god do not EVER back cue on one of these portable turntables. It will literally tear the living poo poo out of the groove. Those big red snap-in sapphire needles are like bread knives.

Farts Domino posted:there's a big X scratched into the record It's funny you should mention this, because many of the ex radio records I bought had big yellow china-graph x's over the tracks the producers didn't want the DJ to play. They came off easy enough, but I kept a couple for radio nostalgia. On singles, they went as far as to actually rip the label off the B side.

It takes aaagggeeess to add your collection to Discogs, but it is easier than an excel spreadsheet provided they have the records in their database. Even with the entered collection this small, I have a TextEdit list full of others that aren't there yet. The collection so far is very dadrockish because it's the ones I keep at my girlfriends house where I live. Once I go home to tackle the 2000+ collection it will look more impressive. Welp, here's what i've added so far.

Much to the dismay of my girlfriend, who has heard every single song fact a million times since for some songs I only have one. Admin Understudy posted:Looks like The Avalances - Since I Left You is getting reissued next year. Is it going to be the crap version with generic samples? The expensive ones are usually the original pressings with samples intact. Farts Domino posted:wait I can't tell if we're joking anymore This. It's like saying "Hay guyz i found the south pacific soundtrack it looked barely played" I bought Herb's entire 60's output in one day for like 5 bucks from 2 charity stores.

Should I buy an RCM or make my own? They seem kind of overpriced for what is essentially a turntable platter and a vacuum hose. I was thinking about making something like this.

Blast Fantasto posted:Mitch Miller It's mostly James Last and Rodgers and Hammerstein reign down here. Mescal an original Rum & Coke is a 78, and many thrifties don't carry 78s. But you are right, I think people attach value to them because they were popular, or even for nostalgia. Also the staff cherry pick the good stuff at the distribution centres, and collectors hit the stores on the first day of new stock. I was visiting my grandfather today and went to the neighbours to fix their DVR. They had a box of records on the counter and said they were giving the whole box to a charity store. I said i'd take the whole box off their hands (I could offload the stuff I didn't want to a friend who collects crappy crap). Well they ummed and arred and took some out. As expected it's mostly tatty crap, but theres a couple of local business advertisement flexis which are ok I guess.

I found that LETZ flexi in a crate of mostly crap I took from my grandpa's neighbour. Strangely there was a couple of other local things. Firstly was this LP by the Perth cover band Chalice. They went to Sydney to record this, and Jon English produced it. It's alright.  On the other end of the spectrum there is this disaster.  Pressed by 6PM which is now 92.9. I'll have to check my main collection, which lives at my parents house for more local stuff.

atomicthumbs posted:It's got 10-watt outputs meant for speakers that didn't come with it, which makes it so that you have to keep the volume on the turntable and reciever low (and it makes HORRIBLE LOUD NOISES whenever you touch any dial). Is there any way to get the thing to output at line-level? You can buy a line level converter for about to convert the speaker output. Spray deoxit in the knob pots to remove the noise.

Farts Domino posted:I disagree with the warping and cite every record store If you have 50+ in one of those and try to go straight for the back ones and they are leaning back there's a hell of a lot of weight there. At some stores I can see them visibly sagging at the end of the row if they aren't flat against the back of the rack. It's alright if you have like 10 I guess. I'm not saying it's as bad as stacking them 6 feet high on the ground, but a visible sag can't be good, right?
