Re: Amplifier Experts?
I managed to rip all my CDs successfully with a few years ago. But even that had now been superceded by a steaming service now. Basically all the music on the world (almost) to listen to any place in the world.

Indeed and I still have all my vinyl and a trusty LP12 to play it on. I still buy the occasional record as well although don't like the fact that it's trendy and very expensive.Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 11:07 pm .

Re: Amplifier Experts?
I miss the days as a student when I used to buy albums by unknown (to me) artists because of their artwork. It's how I discovered New Riders of the Purple Sage, seeing their album Panama Red in all its glory. Personal faves were any album by Quicksilver Messenger Service. Fabulous art. You don't get any of that thrill with CDs or streaming...

Unfortunately, the albums which appear to be damaged are the ones I got from charity shops

Re: Amplifier Experts?
I guess that's not surprising. I have bought some used LPs from the internet (discogs etc) and they are very variable. I've had to get money back on several occasions. I'd love the idea of buying lots of old stuff (70s and 80s reggae for example), it's not been a fab experience. Stuff at charity shops is likely to be worse overall I would have thought.neilbardsley wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 12:20 pm Unfortunately, the albums which appear to be damaged are the ones I got from charity shops

Bought a used Mighty Diamonds album at the weekend, saw a record fair in Winchester when we were visiting the moon there in the cathedral.
The standard pricing of used vinyl was £20 from all the vendors there. It's a bit scrunchy but ok enough to listen to. Certainly a lottery as you can't really tell the condition from looking.

Is £20 really the going rate for a secondhand album ?
I've got ~750 including what must be some rare editions ...

Re: Amplifier Experts?
Yes it would seem so. There was a stall in the market there with albums at that price plus the record fair all the same.

Re: Amplifier Experts?
I ordered CD versions of the Operas I had been trying to listen to. What a difference in quality! I'm not sure I believe in vinyls anymore. Love the artwork but for sound. I think Ashley, who was in the speaker business, already pointed this out

Unless you were at a record fair!
