honestly its just fun watching records play its almost like magic that music can come from a plastic disk and a needle
That’s enough for me!!! 🤣
One of my proudest moments of being a father is getting my son into vinyl. He learns from me and vice-versa. Plus I have someone to leave my collection to and not have to worry about it all being trashed some day. Thanks for your videos. BTW... my son's name is Dylan.
"Some people are insane like me...", And here we are, watching your videos 😂
I enjoy both formats. When the record industry jacked up CD prices I bought more vinyl. Now that they're at it again with pricing vinyl too high I'm buying cheap compact discs.
Against the grain! I did the same in the 90s. Good call!
When you can't even buy a lossless digital download for less than $10, crate digging for used and out of print CDs for $5 is where it's at!
I buy some stuff on CD as i dont have enough room to own everything on vinyl. So some stuff that doesnt necessarily sound brilliant anyway i get a cd , live albums usually cd, double albums with some filler - cd.
BUT - any cds from 1990 on usually - not always, but normally sound offensive.
The 80s cds sound good, especially the Barry Diament zep/ marley ones , 80s beatles... i own alot of my favourite albums on both formats.
Room for everything. If you do your research there are well mastered albums on all formats.
Vinyl FTW though.
Same here
I'm doing the same. I'm picking up whole catalogues of artists for the price of one of their vinyl albums right now. I still buy albums that are special to me on vinyl, though. I like the ritual of using the turntable.
I'm al most 70 now and have recently bought a new record player. I've dug my vinyl out of the loft and been playing albums I bought over 50 years ago. Still in good condition and sound great. I had bought for Christmas a 3 album set of The Who live at Leeds and a 4 album set of Who's Next. Collectors items that you can't get on any other format. Just brilliant to see vinyl back ❤
Hi Clive - yes, you can get them on other formats - especially CD. Who's next - 10 CD + 1 blu-ray deluxe edition. Now if you want that on vinyl you need a bank loan - AND I dont think you can get it !! All of those albums are available in deluxe CD box sets and more, and the sound quality is amazing. Cheers Doug
@douglasweston126 thanks for that. I honestly didn't know all that info, but I'm happy revisiting my vinyl. I'm like a kid in a sweet shop!! Cheers 🍻
And in my opinion Clive you have 20 more years before you need to start even thinking about slowing down. Imagine yourself at 90, like William Shatner or Clint Eastwood, then think of how virile they were 20 years ago, when they were 70. Im just saying man. I always want people who are getting older to keep the perspective that they’re always 20 years younger than an age that you’ll give anything to go 20 years back when they get to. Meaning you’re truly always at an age that you’ll one day become jealous of being, even now and for generations to come. I hope you’re still living to the fullest of your scope my friend and know you’re best days can easily be ahead of you, its never too late for Now.
@arzabael I have to say I've been very lucky. No health problems and I'm constantly told by people I look like a man in his 50s. I was pretty fit when I was a referees a lot of years ago now and yes ,I have a young out look and hope I do see 90!!
Here’s my humble opinion: Records and CDs can sound both amazing and c@ap. 90% of it is in the recording and mastering. HOWEVER, you need to spend more on the record deck to achieve high quality sound (a £100 CD player will be vastly superior to a £100 turntable). Once you get into quality equipment then vinyl has the edge certainly for me. I enjoy the feel of it, the hunting down of it, and even the smell of those old record sleeves. If I’m playing a CD or streaming then my mind wanders to other things… it doesn’t engage me. It’s far too easy to skip to the next track. If I’m playing a vinyl LP, then it has my full attention and I am more likely to listen to the full album without skipping tracks. Also, artwork (like you said) is easier to read and certainly more pleasing to look at. A year or so ago a fellow musician friend of mine came round for the evening with his wife and we got into the same CD V Vinyl argument. He asked me if I had any albums on both CD and LP to compare. I did and played him several for comparison. He said no more and within a few weeks had gone and got himself a turntable!
I think it’s really just what you’re drawn to most, Thanks for watching! 🙏
I loved it when you said you "like it because I like it" because I feel that a lot. I love everything from hunting, to listening, to cataloging, to meeting others at stores, to especially cleaning my records. I love it ALL when it comes to records.
When people start to argue about other formats I say "1) they don't get me excited like records do and 2) I like records because they are different and the most historical connection to the music of the period." The most freeing thing was when I learned no one has to get it, but the joy I get is undeniable and it is what it is.
Yeah for sure; it’s an indescribable thing
Being able to own the music along with the size of the artwork does it for me.
Yep!!! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Hey Dillon, always appreciate the content and the enthusiasm and joy you bring to the hobby. I think you hit the nail on the head with why vinyl is great - The experience. I grew up with CDs and loved diving into an album with my headphones on and going into a whole new world with the music. With the advent of MP3 players, I slowly grew away from that experience of diving into an album. The main reason I got into vinyl was to make that connection again with the music and the artists, the way I would back when I listened to CDs. Everything you mentioned makes that experience something special. Whether it's sitting back and taking in the music, looking at the jackets and holding the album, making a connection with people through music, or just all of that together. Every one of my albums has a story and I love that about the hobby.
Love the positivity and all the work you do for the community:) Have a Happy New Year!
I like both, but got hooked on CD’s in my teens so stuck with that format. The digging for finds is the best
That’s great!
Your videos beat everyone else's on line! Hands down!❤ Your passion is contagious! Love it!!!
Thanks so much! I love records, and love talking about them!
You have such a passion; it's invigorating. Stay true, Dylan. You look happy, you sound happy.
great video, I grew up with records then got rid of them all for CDs in the late 80s/early 90s :-( (as many people did) and though streaming is wonderful, and vast, and convenient (like fast food) I now long for the ritual of putting on a record and listening to it from start to finish. A bit like making a pot of tea instead of a teabag, the effort creates the appreciation. Listening to a record connects me better to the music, and connects me to when I used to listen to records as a kid. Thank you from Australia! Now I need to re-collect all the records I used to have.
Amen brother! Keep killing it! You’re doing great man.
Love your channel! Just started getting into Vinyl. Got a solid turn table for Christmas and got a copy of my favorite album of all time “The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me” by Brand New - hearing that on vinyl made it all worth it. I’m hooked and already have a couple more n the way. Steely Dan’s Countdown To Ecstasy just got here.
Man, this guys passion for this is pouring through. Will definitely stop in at his shop the next time I’m visiting family in Matthews/Charlotte.
Wow 99,000 subscribers That's amazing bro congratulations
When all the variables are dialed in vinyl sounds incredible
It's not a cheap endeavor but if you're really into music its totally worth it
One of the most noticeable differences with vinyl compared to digital streaming or cds is that a well made record has what I perceive as a holographic sound stage
Its like viewing a picture through a fish eye lens under water
There is a smooth clarity highly detailed and warm and smooth around the edges I've yet to experience with digital punchy mid range focused bass that hits you in the gut like I have with well made records
Of course this varies pressing to pressing but when it's good its really really good
I always say it's like listening through a speaker in the studio as it was being recorded. Feels like you are in the room.
@@jeffmcilvaine7413 totally agree
Great honest and personal video. There is something special about giving new life to a piece of history you find in a second hand store. I also like supporting new artists by buying their vinyl. Cheers
Thanks for watching! 🙏 happy new year!
That Vicars record is badass. 45s are a whole other world. There were so many amazing artists that only put out one song and there’s only a few hundred copies in existence. I love collecting LPs but finding those rare 7” gems is my passion
Yeah I about crapped when I found it. It’s so cool.
I got to agree I love my albums but those 45s are special
@@ayamaprantenna they do exist
Never forget when I got the first Beatle album, in March 1963, I was 10 years old, it was like entering a new world of sound, got every Beatle release for the next 6 years, had to do long paper rounds and odd jobs, plus pocket money 🫰 I already heard the two singles, Love Me Do and Please Please me on Radio Luxembourg!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
you're so passionate, i really love it :) u seem like a wholesome guy!
I have a small vinyl collection, but I've always had a warm feeling for records that is hard to describe. Almost any kind of music makes me feel good by the simple act of putting an album on the turntable and watching it revolve as the needle hits the grooves. I know exactly what you mean, Dillon.
Fantastic cover that Dr John I love the right inner sleeve also
Im in my 50s, so i came up with records - bought Rumours when it was brand new and played it to death and collected 45s as a broke kid in the 70s. I wasnt obsessed quite yet. In 1978, i asked my parents to get the Sgt Peppers 1978 Frampton Bee Gees version. They made the glorious mistake of getting me the original Beatles one. When i heard that, i became obsessed with music. In the early 80s, i went into a store that specialized in uk imports. I became obsessed with collecting all the Iron Maiden and Metallica12inchers. That was really when i would say i got into collecting. I even got a beatles uk 12inch of Love Me Do. I loved b-sides, in some cases MORE than what was on the album. There are a lot of artists that i have complete discographies - all the singles, all the interview discs, some bootlegs, even redundant greatest hits. The 90s and early 2000s was when i really beefed up my collection, because used vinyl was a buck ( didnt matter if it was Lawrence Welk or the Smiths, it was all a buck used). The resurgence can be traced back as far as 2001 - at that time, my area only had 2 places that carried sealed new vinyl - virgin megastore and Hot Topic. Each year after 2001, there would be another tiny hint that a full comeback could be on the horizon. By 2007, my local indie store started a massive new vinyl section. 2007 was also the 1st year soundtracks were being pressed on vinyl, since 1990. 1990-91, i hit all the record stores that were ditching their sealed new vinyl and got em super cheap. I never thought they would go back and start making vinyl of all those 90s cd titles.i always had these gaps in my discographies, that ended in 1991 and picked back up circa 2007, so im happy filling those gaps
This video really hit home for me. I got into records for largely the same reasons as you, bud. Fast-forward to 2018 & a band I sometimes work with (video & photo work) called The Clarks issued a vinyl edition of their new album at the time. I’d done all the photography for the liner notes & lyric panels. The CD layout was cool…but that vinyl edition was amazing. It was a classic gatefold sleeve. The band gave me two copies (signed). The first time I opened one up, all I kept thinking was: “Someday in the future, some kid is gonna listen to this record & look at MY photos & get inspired just like I did so many years ago.” It’s a cool feeling. 😎
That shelf is looking pretty loaded, i love them too, i can barely get in my room , well there is a shortage of floor space ,and shelf space, its like the walls are moving in on me.
At 68, I was lucky enough to grow in home with a nice stereo system as my Father ran a TV/Stereo shop & also did repairs, so I go way back with vinyl. Through the years I grew a pretty impressive collection of vinyl, then like many, when CD's hit the scene I went that direction for many years. Thankfully though, I never sold my vinyl. About 30 years ago i started buying, selling & trading vintage stereo equipment for almost 10 years or more until I finally found my nirvana system during which time I switched back to mostly vinyl. The past few years however I took up painting so I mostly just play CD's or Bluetooth so I don't have to get up & flip albums, but I truly want to listen to music, I always go back to vinyl.
I'm very new to vinyl. Basically a week or so. Grew up on CD's (when I was old enough to buy), went streaming, craved the physical product. Always admired the size of the vinyl artwork though. Finally thought stuff it, lets dabble. And yes loving it so far. Purposely grabbed albums released in the vinyl era - now looking to get that hi-fi gear up to speed too.
Great Video!!! I Got My First Record Player Christmas 1965.... I Was 13 And I Sister Bought Me The Beatles 2nd Album!!! That Was All She Wrote!!!!!
Great way to start!!!
Record's always the best
I agree! Thanks for watching! 🙏
I got hooked on records as a preschooler in the Fifties. My sister and I shared a children's acoustic 78rpm phonograph that reqyured steel needles. And my parents had a collection of 10-inch 78's from the Big Band era. When my grandfather died, my grandmother gave Dad their Philco Beam-of-Light radio-phono console. That phonograph fascinated me -- seeing the stack of discs drop one by one, then watch the tonearm track the groove, with a small light shining on the platter.
I began to collect seriously once my parents bought a Magnavox Astrosonic radio-phono console. Then when I joined the Air Force and was stationed overseas I bought a component stereo system with a tuner amp, turntable, reel to reel tape recorder and four loudspeakers. Later on I branched out into cassettes and CDs, but avoided 8-tracks and never bothered with mp3's or downloads. You have to have the physical property in your hand, examining the cover while the music plays. Even sniffing an empty jacket can give you a thrill.
For starters one thing I always tell people is vinyl is simply more fun. CDs are kinda fun, but there ain't nothing "fun" about streaming lol. I collect CDs and I stream all the time, but vinyl is just a fun time. Not to mention of course the big artwork, gatefolds and all the cool things they can do with those. Like foil covers and interactive gatefolds ect. I also like because it's a collection you curate. You purge here and there, decide which records to bring home and which to leave behind. It's a personal thing. I also like seeing people's names that they wrote on the cover somewhere. Shows that it meant something to someone and now it's found it's way to me and means something again. Or like buying old sealed copies, took decades for them to finally find a home, kinda cool to think about. As far as vinyl sounding better, idk, I feel like my ears probably aren't perfect enough to tell lol, but I will say that to me the vinyl sound has more life to it, but idk. Too make an extremely long story just long, vinyl is fun and therefore king.
This video should have been titled "Why I THINK vinyl records are better." That's the problem. Just because some people think vinyl is "better" doesn't mean it is. If vinyl was better we never would have thrown out our vinyl collection for CD's when they came out. Also, if something is "better", you don't need to argue the point. Everyone would agree that it is better. Otherwise it's just opinion and personal choice.
I’ve been around records since my toddler years. My older sisters always played records and I would stand by their player. From that moment on I was hooked. Fast forward to 1985 when cd came on the scene. I ditched my records and turntable at the time and jumped on the cd bandwagon. Then in 1988 I was at a friends house and he still had records. Watching him go through the ritual of choosing a record to play and the artwork jumping out at you to hearing the needle hit the groove. It dawned on me, man I miss playing records! So I started collecting records again and haven’t looked back!
That’s awesome! It’s a fun world!
@@noblerecords Yes it’s definitely a fun world. You mentioned community. Don’t know how many friends I’ve made in person and online through records. It’s funny how an object brings people together?!
Vinyl is King! ❤
For me!
The vinyl vs cd debate shouldn't be about sound quality but availability of format. So many things only ever released on CDs, missing out tons of great music by only buying one format.
Another great video. My readings for loving l records is basically the same as yours. I’m a big first pressing fanatic (or as early as possible in some cases) and my reason for that is the history…it’s like owning a piece of history that you can LIVE.
Playing that first pressing of a beloved album gives me a certain sense of awe knowing that copy could’ve been bought the day or week the album came out. There’s just nothing like it.
Thanks for all ya do!
Thanks for the kind words!
Great video…I Love my albums and I also Love my cds. I do not stream Music but I do watch cool Music CZcams Channels like this one and have even started my own! For literally decades now I choose one cd for my day, my ‘ride along’ and the reason could be anything that gets in my head to listen to that day. I’ve kept all my cool LPs from my youth and buy more records than cds these last 5 years probably. But, I’m not the same as everyone, not the same as you are Dylan; I am a fussy person and real clean oriented so I do not buy used records often; instead I tend to buy new records and than keep ‘em in pristine condition. I’m in a big kick these last few years to expand my RnR Record collection rather than be a completist for Bands/artists. It’s so interesting to me how people have their own styles and motivations for collecting Music…Love it!! Also, as well, I Love listening to good RnR Radio stations like Q107 in Toronto. ✌️
First off I gotta thank you for educating me on some really sweet music that I would NEVER have known about if it wasn't for your channel and your obvious love for music. The "Bloodsuckers" album you talked about drove me to find that album and I just love it. I posted it to my insta and was stoked that you actually noticed the post :) Seriously though, I appreciate the effort you make to share your passion for music and for the hobby. This is what community is about, learning from each other and just being excited about whatever it is that you dig. Happy New Year to you & your family, wishing you much continued success in the future! God Bless :)
Thanks so much! That means a lot! That’s why I do it!
For a second there I thought Tim Gentry started a music channel 😅
I’m just now getting into vinyl and it was a bit crazy to see how expensive some of my favorite albums are in record format. But the way I see it, it’s a nice way to support the artists I enjoy listening to and to own the music in physical form.
I don’t know who that is 🤣 sounds like a cool dude.
Welcome to the fold!
😀I do agree with all you say about collecting and enjoying trips to the record store✨Your channel offers great conversation ✨
Happy New Year !!!
MY DAWG! HAPPY NEW YEAR BUDDY!
For me, there’s a nostalgia to it that I got from my family, which is where it started… Then I just developed my own love for it through my life experience. My grandma and great grandma were both music lovers, and were constantly listening to stuff like Muddy Waters, Brook Benton, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, you name it… My great grandma was the first one in our family to get into CD’s because as she got up in tears, she loved the convenience of it. The rest of my family followed, so her daughter, my grandma, ended up giving me her turntable and records when I was a teen in the 90’s.
I started setting records in thrift stores and picking them up whenever I could find something that interested me, and it didn’t take long for me to notice that, even though I had most of this stuff in CD already, something felt a lot more connected to the music when I listened on vinyl. There was a history to it. These albums I was finding were owned and listened to for decades before, and even for all their flaws, I loved the experience and even the sound. Sadly, that turntable and most of my old records got sold in a storage auction one time when my family was hitting some hard times, and I didn’t get a new turntable until sometime later.
Recently, I bought a Denon DP-400 and upgraded the cartridge on it, so I’ve begun collecting records again, to go along with the small handful of my old collection I still have.
Here’s my thing… I love music. And I do love CD’s as well. Although, with CD, the nostalgia is mostly just based on the packaging and holding the disc, etc., not in the actual listening… I can get all of that from vinyl, and in fact, the nostalgia hits exactly the same, but with vinyl, I actually feel like I’m participating. I’m actively consuming and enjoying a physical piece of art that is transmitting sound by means of actual physical grooves in the record. Skipping songs is less convenient than just letting the album play, so when I put on a record, I’m committed. I set time aside to do this. It’s important and soul healing to me.
As far as sound quality… I mean yeah, I’m not gonna bother debating that. It’s all subjective. Even if better technical quality can be had from digital formats, that doesn’t matter to me. Vinyl records through a good setup, just simply sound far more pleasing and “alive” to me. And I’ve legitimately done A/B tests between vinyl records and CDs I have from the same run of releases, through the same speakers and preamp, and I can definitely say that I do prefer the vinyl versions every time.
So yes, although I do love CD’s and modern convenience, nothing will ever knock vinyl off the top of the hill for me. I don’t care if it technically has the best quality or not.
The quality is in the experience.
Some people don’t get that it don’t care. But that’s okay.
Luv the channel and content. I used to deejay for 14yrs in California moved to PA and did net radio out of SF for another 10 years so I've played all formats and I agree vinyl sounds the best. Have you ever been to Get Hip Records in Pittsburgh. The owner Gregg Kostelich is the guitarist for The Cynics and has a warehouse of vinyl if I had to guess I would say at least a million Records and one helluva collection. I am good friends with him and he constantly is turning me on too new pressings. Keep up the good work. Peace!!!!
The sound of wax cylinders is better! Great vid, man. Love your honesty and authenticity! Myself recoreds are #1, CD's #2, and Tapes/streaming High-Res #3. I love CD's and find many sounding better than their LP counterparts. Hey, how our brain rapidly unravels the highly complex sound wave nerve impulses, analyzes them, and interprets them, varies greatly from person to person. Oh, and let's not forget mastering/remastering/medium quality/etc. has much to do with reported sound quality. As you, if it sounds good it is good, period. Oh, and yes - I dream about records as well. I actually had one last night. It was beautiful!
Great video ad commentary
I remember first playing records when I was 3 years old. I loved watching the label spinning around and around. I had a small collection of records growing up as a kid but when used vinyl started getting cheaper that's when my love for record collecting took off. Now I have close to 1,000 records and 5,000 45 singles.
You’re hooked for life! 🤣🙏
It can be a beginner just to have a few or a niche novice collector dedicating your sound system to the art of the medium. From the turntable to the cartridge to the amp & speakers and that too becoming the thrill of vinyl collecting is collecting gear & selling it to find the perfect play back system for the never ending love of collecting a library of music on vinyl. There’s the thrill of the hunt & the nostalgia & value and memories vinyl creates. I love cd’s but, there’s nothing more sexier or cooler than looking at a beautiful turntable playing a vinyl record that’s new or a a vintage collectible with a story behind it. Vinyl is the best medium out of all for those reasons. Having a cool room dedicated to records is also part of the experience. I love vinyl
Me too! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Vinyl done right feels like the band is in your room playing. Which goes hand-in-hand with my latest rule when deciding to keep a reissue vs. a first press. Which one moves me? Which one makes me feel something? That’s the one i keep. CD’s and streaming are like super clean 8-tracks or cassettes. Portability is their main advantage. That and programming a playlist. Great videos. Look forward to visiting the store sometime.
It's because of top class mastering engineers.
Vinyl records sound more organic and dynamic to me, and you get that beautiful artwork. Tho I just listened to Gentle Giant's Octopus on Japanese SACD and was blown away by the sound quality
I know what I like and I like what I know. Ha! Keep up the great work, Dillon! By the way, love our McIntosh setup.
I vividly remember while the neighborhood kids were buying transformers and other toys, I was saving my 5 dollar weekly allowance so I could go to the local shop and get some new music. It was an event for me, I remember getting Korn - life is peachy when I was 10 and it changed everything.
A good part of why I started collecting vinyl records was you. I HATED vinyl. When I was a kid, the records I owned skipped the first time I played them, or didn't sound good. When CDs came along, I was thrilled. And then when MP3s showed up, I was happier still. Totally set in my ways. But I wasn't listening to much and my tastes never broadened. Your videos kept popping up in my feed as I slowly showed interest in getting a turntable. And I started listening to music you recommended and found that I liked a lot of it. That was three years ago. I now have over 250 albums, a good deal of them being ones you recommended. Scientifically, do vinyl records sound better? No. But the experience, the connection with the music is so much greater. And it slows me down, forces me to listen more than I would to streaming. And heck, my vintage system sounds a lot better than my computer. So, thanks.
That's a cool story, I think Dylan gets a kick out of stuff like this.
One day you will hear how vinyl actually sounds like. 😉
While watching this video I finished putting the needle on my AT-LP120 and fully set up my new sound system I got for Christmas. No more Bluetooth or nothing just pure analog joy and it is magic. It’s crazy to believe how basic my setup still is lmao.
Awesome!! You’re in deep now!!!
Ditto!.. I bought an Audio Technica deck recently and started buying early 70's prog rock classics again: Led Zep, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Mountain, Van Der Graaf Generator, Tyrannosaurus Rex.. yes it's magical, moreover, it keeps me fit having to jump up every 20 mins to change the record :)
@@ephrimvael it seems we’ve got some similar taste, rock on 🤘
Disraeli gears was one of the first psychedelic records i got, probably around 83/84, i had a byrds style haircut and suede boots, lol. People used to yell " the monkees" out of passing cars, the eighties was really fun, i had a great time.
Hi Dillon, That question is one that I have been hit with many times. As a vinyl obsessed collector (12,000+ LPs) I do believe that vinyl with a quality Turntable and cartridge does have a more emotionally involving sound over digital formats. A friend of mine who buys both CDs and vinyl Classical records says that CD's are convenient, emotionless and uninvolving discs that sound sterile like hospital music while vinyl records are more involving. I do believe he is right. I do have both formats and where I can buy either CD and LP my choice is LP, except for music for my car where CD wins out.
I never got rid of my vinyl that I started collecting back in the early ‘70s. I switched to CDs because I couldn’t get music on vinyl after the late ‘90s, but I went back to vinyl in the 2000s and never looked back. I sold my CD collection for pennies on the dollar.
Exact same story here, except that I've kept the CD,DVD,BD collection as well. Hello from Scandinavia. 👍
Hey there!.❤️ It’s the most wonderful way to enjoy music and once you get into it, there’s such joy in finding and playing. Strangely addictive (be careful, go with what you know) but the pleasure in a good find and playing on a nice turntable (doesn’t have to cost a huge amount), it’s just a joy.
Yes! It’s a lot of fun!
Can you please put that hoodie online for people to buy. I really want to get some merch and those look awesome 🤘🏻
I have held onto my CD's in a giant tub. They may come back someday. Been record collecting for about two years and my collection is in the hundreds. Absolutely love the hobby and just bought the newest Dual Turntable and an external preamp to up my game from the UTurn Orbit I currently have. Truly have fallen in deep.
Welcome to the club! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Completely! 100% agree. I 💙 records!
Yesss! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Much of my vinyl collection has been with me since my teens. Trekked across the pond twice 😊. I enjoy both but prefer vinyl like yourself. CDs fill in the gaps for cheap to experience new styles.
Thanks Dillon for keeping it alive. 🎶 Greg
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Your initial thumbnail was was creams iconic album, my wife knew Jack Bruce he lived in a village in essex called alphamstone lovely bloke . Vinyl is 👌
The fact you like it is all that matters.
Happy new year and thanks for keeping me entertained in 2023!😂
Vinyl sounds warmer than digital, which I find appealing. I also love it for the tactile aspect and the history.
I’m currently focused on replacing 90’s cd’s , which are getting vinyl releases. Both 1st timers and reissues from small , rare and very expensive vinyl side batches to major 90’s albums. I want as many of them as possible on wax.
I've been looking for a vinyl copy of a band called It Could Be Nothing, I have the CD but a vinyl would be awesome. They're an alternative band from Charlotte and I don't if they even released their 1st album on vinyl! But hey..gotta love the hunt tho!
The hunt is what it’s all about!
I had the same origin story collecting records, except it was the early 2000’s. CDs were like 20 bucks, records were at the time like 5 bucks and under. I wanted the Who Live at Leeds. A thrift store turntable and the record was about the same price as a new cd.
My Dad gave me his record collection about 4 crates worth. I originally just framed to cool records and hung them in my music room and just enjoyed looking at them. Then I decided to buy a decent turntable. And now zero records are framed. They're all cherished and listened to on a regular basis now. Im hooked on vinyl now.
I have a question about warped records. I have a Steve Goodman record with a slight warp on the edge causing the 1st 2 tracks to be unplayable. Ive seen on line slipping the vinyl between 2 plates of glass & warming it in the oven. Have you ever tried this? If so what was the result?
Hey Dillon, can you talk about your record shelves? They don’t look like the ikea kallax that most go with? ..Including myself. My gf got it for me. Very expensive for “pressed wood” if you ask me! About $400 after shipping! I was gonna build something for my collection out of really wood but my buddy said it would be a pain so I just ordered the largest kallax they offered which I believe is like 25 cubes and holds close to 2,000 lp records.
Yours don’t look like the IKEA kallax ones? Did you build them? Can you share your build plans if so??
Love all your videos man!!! Keep up the awesome work!
Oh, btw I’m outside of Nashville. Now I’m on the hunt for that 45 you mentioned lol.
Mine are the kallax!
the 2x4 and 1x4 Kallax are the best ones. That big 5x5 one is not very sturdy, and it is clumsy and not easy to move around, or move at all - if you move to a new house.
I stack the smaller Kallax like Lego bricks. That way you can build a wall with them, and they are easy to move.
Man those were the days, finding Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd records for $5 or less….. the bulk of what I own was bought for basically the same reason you stated, way cheaper to buy the records.
Yep! Those were the days !
DYLAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH!! YESSSS!! 🙌
Hy Dylan (sp ?). New subscriber in the UK here. I toyed with getting a decent turntable for ages and watched a lot of videos and read a lot of scientific articles eploring comparisons of vinyl, mp3 and CD music tracks, and the conclusion at the end of it all was.... there's very little "physical" difference. BUT... now that I have a record player, I've immediately noticed that music from a vinyl takes centre stage more than CD or mp3 etc. I mean, I will sit down and listen and concentrate on an LP, whereas with a CD it just becomes background music very quickly, ya know? I like both, but if I want to actually LISTEN to (and EXPERIENCE) music, I'll put it on the turntable.
I have a question too: what is the most money you've spent on a record, either for your personal collection or for the business?
Thanks!
I could probably never put why I love records into words
I agree with everything you've said here. I will add that there is science to back up why vinyl sounds better or "warmer", analog sound waves vs digital sound waves with analog being how records are recorded and we talk in analog so vinyl sounds more natural.
It becomes a ritual and it is such a personal experience to spin records.
Fortunately I kept my collection of about 500 records from the 60's and 70's. We recently bought an entry level turntable and I am enjoying the records much more than cd's. The whole experience is better, from the buying, to the holding, to the playing, to the hearing. I've developed an interest in opera since my youth, so I've started buying used opera vinyl, which is available at reasonable prices...
Totally agree with you, also to me vinyl is better. The whole feel around it. Going into a record store or a vinyl market or even flea market you always wonder what you will come home with. It may be a long sought album, or one you once heard and forgot how good it was or as you say because the artwork attracts you. In the last case you really wonder what it will be especially if you didn't find it in a designated section, like heavy metal (wherein I got introduced to Empress AD by the artwork of their album Still life moving fast... and freaked out in a positive way when I got home). But it's not only the collecting, it's also sharing your finds with friends who also really like to listen to music. It's a world in itself...
One of the best ‘CD compared to Vinyl’ demos I’ve done - Def Leppard Pyromania OG Vinyl & OG CD…. Very easy to hear the difference…. Not saying one is better or worse…. But the difference in the sound is absolutely there …. Give it a try - one of the best ‘this what is meant by ‘warmth’ & this is what is meant by ‘crisp’ demos out there
Love the vids as always and hoping to swing by again next time I’m in town from NJ.
Spot on! Vinyl records are magic, CD's are science.
I don't like vinyl anymore, and I've preferred cd's for many years. because they don't make noise. And others advantages.
In certain genres the liner notes sealed the sale. For a long while I was into REAL blues, and the scholarship on the back got me to buy gems that are still in my collection half a century later. Son House, Skip James, Dave Ray …
Yes! I agree!
I really love records! 😊
QUESTION, where can I buy a book that has the list of vinyl records releases and which are first prints, ?
Personally, I find a paper cone placed directly in the groove does it for me every time, Dillon!🤣
Simple enough!!!
When ever i go out of town on trips i do two things goggle record stores near me and bring my running shoes. I love buying clean used records and imagine the owner before me
I know you don't talk about gear a lot, but can you recommend some channels or sources of good information? I'm planning to upgrade my entire system this year but don't really know where to start.
I am the last person to ask, I have no idea, I don’t watch gear videos!
@@noblerecords wow, don't you sell gear in your store along with records?
I grew up listening to Vinyl albums and 45 and I switched to CDs around 1987 or 1988 because they were smaller and easier to store. I kept my vinyl albums that I had too. One reason I like about CDs they are harder to damage. I do wish they had made the original cases bigger so the artwork was bigger. DVD size case would have been better for artwork. I like CD now too because I can rip them and put music on my phone to listen to it while I'm working in construction. I'm sure vinyl does sound better but where I listen to music the most it doesn't need to sound the best.
So sometime how you listen to it does matter.
Over the years I have bought albums on vinyl where I wanted the bigger artwork that had a lot of detail in it. One example is the Steve Perry Traces album.
I don’t mind vinyl but I like cds much more they don’t wear out
My records from the 70s and 80s, even the 50s and 60s are still not worn out. This depends on the system, stylus, if it is properly set up (tone arm weight), if the records get worn out or not. Those who never swapped out their stylus destroyed their records, or used too much force.
The problem with many CDs is that they are very badly mastered. Don't get me wrong, I have CDs to die for in quality, but most of the time when I go back to my old CD collection, I wished they hold up in quality compared to the vinyl counterpart.
The problem with discs (CD, DVD, BD) is that they eventually rot. They oxidise slowly because of its construction of layers, metal-film and glue. Oil will not.
Cool... good information bruh..
Thanks for watching bruh. happy new year bruh
I don't care either brother. "It's all about the music". I have 1,400+ Albums but I also have 1,300+ CD's. I agree with you on your love for vinyl and the community. There's no other like it. Thanks man for you're video's. Peace and love.....
I heartily concur. Are records better, I don't care either! I love the whole vinyl medium-collecting, searching, playing, care, artwork, etc.. My audio system sounds spectacular and that's al that matters to me.
That's interesting what you said about no CD community. Even as someone who collects cds I agree, it's just not the same.
I wouldn’t know but I feel like record collectors are a different breed
For sure. Hope y'all have a happy new year!
Vinyl is the best, hands down.
To me listening to a record on a turntable is interactive and more fun than inserting a disc and pushing play. Btw, once upon a time records were called records, not vinyl.
Hello again for me its about nostalgia (greek word) and music is important for me , yesterdat I bought Brussel 1980 Led Zeppelin bootleg, maybe you have it. Thanks for all your videos through the year, /HE
