      Can Olum Unfortunately, you rarely find better sound on Vinyl for Metal. They just use the same compressed mastering and cut LPs with it. Shame. Mayhem (go figure) has released one of their albums as a 45rpm set.

      @CanOlum Před 4 lety

      @@RadoDani I still prefer buying vinyl. It's maybe my setup for vinyl is a bit better than my cd / dac setup. I use rega brio amp with rega rp3 turntable with elys2 cartridge for vinyl. Digital side is with rega apollo cd player and hegel hd11 dac. All connected to q acoustics 3050. Although mastering issue is a fact that most of the companies don't care about spending extra money just to sell 1.000 vinyl, I continue collecting vinyl as my primary source. Almost 2.000 vinyl and still growing.

    I love how open you are about your love of dance tracks. There’s still an air of snobbery in the UK when you pick up a dance record in a vinyl shop, and some places will flat out not stock it. Even some of the general analogue forums I’m on judge me for my indulgently clubby choices. I’m 42 and always got the impression I’d grow out of it like my friends and family but never have, still love it just as much!

Your passion speaks volume and makes for a great listen which gives people like me to listen to likeminded people and maybe learn about some new (to me) releases along the way.

    After record stores went out of business in the early 2000's it became a real chore to discover new music in London the ones that remained were fill of snobby owners looking down their nose at you, and sitting on beatport/juno records scrolling for hours was miserable and lonely. Then places like Phonica changed the game and rekindled my love my electronic music and records, my favourite part of the week was stopping in there and picking up some new sounds or just sitting on the couches hanging out.

    It's great to get a peek into the head (and listening habits) of others who enjoy music as well as the equipment that's involved in the enjoyment of music. I really appreciated this video on many levels (clarity, content, aesthetics & presentation) but the most prominent feature is that it shook up what I'm listening to and it helped me to get out of my well-worn playlists. It's nice to give new albums a try and you've helped me rediscover Richie Hawtin! Keep making awesome videos. Now, back to work!

I’ve been subscribed and watching his vids for months now after coming across my studio monitors (HEDD Type 20) in one of his videos here. I’m so happy to get down-to-earth gear info from someone who’s not only into the same kinda music as I am, but is “music first” and not a typical pretentious or condescending “hifi nerd”! I’ve also wanted to move to Berlin in the early 2000s and still would love it. John!, you’re living my dream life!

    Really enjoyed this video, and have just invested in two Autechre albums as a result! One of those "bands" that I've always known of without ever hearing, I actually imagined they'd be akin to Einstürzende Neubaten, but how wrong I was! And SO MANY great record shops in Berlin! I think I feel a city break coming on for spring 2022! Thanks, John!
