    Default My hobby (Not hobbit weirdo)

    As some of you know, I really prefer to listen to old Vinyl records over CDs. I prefer the warm fuzzy sound to them over the high pitched clean-cut sound a CD gives off, especially the digitally remastered ones. My question is, does anyone else here collect records? If so, which ones do you own?

    We only have a million stashed away somewhere, compliments of daddie darling. They're all stuff like...um...*remembers* Jethro Tull?!?! And ...WHO...and...some others. Lotsa them. I wanna listen to them but the damn machine doesn't work!!

    By the way; you should have a hobbit. HOBBITS RUUUUULE!

    I used those old discs once! I had this project to do for school, and I needed a low friction wheel for a mouse trap powered vehicle. We used my friends' grandparents records though.

    worked pretty good!

    My family has over the years acquired quite a large number of old records and LPs, which are great fun to listen to and pretend you're hearing classic songs for the first time, though they must also be dealt with extremely carefully as they are very fragile.

    I don't know the exact number of records, but from memory, I know we have all the Beatles, Beach Boys, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and many other big rockers of the day albums.

    Take care all.

    Records suck. I like digital music. Music that I can actually hear.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I don't collect them, but I have inherited a lot. I have boxes of 78s, 45s and 33s. I have an old Technics record player, but the needle isn't very good on it and it's just too much trouble to actually play them anymore.

    The needles are still easily found in electronic stores like radio shack. It's not much more trouble than CDs, you just have to turn it over halfway through. I'm just weird and prefer them for their sound and vintage feel.
