Vinyl Records

What are your opinions on vinyl records compared to other mediums such as CDs? I think they have a fuller, richer sound because they more closer to what was actually recorded as opposed to the digital compression that CDs have.

I've never owned and actual record-player. I know tons of metal bands put out vinyl still, and I think that's probably attributed to capturing the detail of every note as there is so much to catch. I would like to get some one of these days.

Yes, I wish Hastings would expand their vinyl rack out a little bit. They don't actually carry that much in the way of metal. The only bands I've seen that they carry are Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Megadeth and Job for a Cowboy. I think I've seen a couple Tool albums in there as well but I guess that depends on your definition of metal.

I absolutely love vinyl. I used to own alot but then they were lost in a move sadly. But i completely agree with you Jake. The sound you get from them is much more rich than with a cd or mp3

Yeah, that is what I always. It has better sound quality.

Ya its great stuff.

My girlfriend actually has a record player, but she is one of the few I know that does.

I have a record player but I need to use it more than I do. It kind of just sits there at the moment when it should be playing music.

Oh yeah, you do have one. We should have just a big party of us watching movies and listening to music, lol

If anyone knows of where to get one please inform me. Like a said i dont have one anymore and I miss it very much

Lol, I will keep in that my mind man. Just for you!

Thank you my friend!

I'm interested in owning a record player also. I like the slight difference between an MP3/CD recording and an actual record.
Plus, I just like collecting them.

Ya they have such an awesome tone to them. There soooo rich and deep.

Hey, what is all of your opinions on the vinyl collection at hastings?

Its decent at best idk i wish it would be much better.

Yeah, I never pay attention to it. I am always in the comics

Ya it has some ok ones but nothing actually vintage which isnt cool ha.

I think it's decent, I always see a bunch of records that I want. I just hate how expensive they are.

Ya I forgot to mention that part also.

My record player is acting up lately. First the speed was stuck on 45 so it made everything sound like chipmunks. Then the needle was messed up. All I wanted to do was listen to the Rolling Stones

Yes, listening to the chipmunks singing Gimme Shelter was quite unpleasant. But hopefully it will be okay, just give work and time.

Thats rather sad Jake.. Would you not be able to buy a new needle?
