Is that a weak attempt to thin down the competition?

I think that having a healthy relationship with vinyl collecting is possible for anyone, but itâs also easy to go off the deep end. I only buy vinyls that I love, and Iâm trying to make sure to keep my collection concise, balanced, and not overinflated. Also, not having everything you want is part of the fun and thrill of collecting vinyl.. or really collecting anything. Itâs all a journey with no destination. Have fun with the ride, and donât get too serious about it.

Collecting vinyl is a beautiful hobby and I love it.đ

1. Availability - I'll just buy a different record. 2. Fragility - I have some ragged records, that have been stored badly, that sound fine (turn down treble, and turn the bass up) 3. Expenses - fuck limited edition, coloured vinyl, and box sets. I'll take your dad's beat up Van Halen record, thanks 4. Storage - what am I gonna use those shelves for? Plants? 5. Transport - eh... yeah true

As someone who is in love with outdated media (vhs, old game consoles, ect) i will start my record collection and there is nothing you can do to stop me
-
Too late mate.Already addicted and canât stop buying đ

The space and money arguments don't matter to me. If I had no media collection I would be sat in an empty room staring at a screen that would need to be upgraded every time a new device came out. Not to mention all those subscription fees. My friend spends more money on owning nothing than I do on new releases.

I am recovering vinyl collector. It became an obsession of chasing down rare albums, buying expensive albums for a better quality sleeve, vacuum record cleaner, carbon brushes and importing anti static sleeves from Japan. Even the sleeve had its own sleeve. One day I realised I had a problem and sold everything. Now I am happy and actually enjoying music again with a decent set of headphones and my phone.

This is coming from a guy with a wall full of records???? Come on man!!! Youâre not the guy to tell someone not to collect!!
-
Went into a ' classic t Record ' store a year ago. Myfriend wanted to. The guy who ran the place ws pleasant friendly inviting. I told him i buy cds/ cassettes. He said, smiling, " Vinyl is fun!" He had a new Beatles rec for $50... No thanks. Got it for 10$ on cd.
-
I started collecting vinyl in 1974 and have never looked back.
-
He just trying to scare everybody so he can get all the vinyl
-
Agree 100% I love vinyl & have a fair collection, but LP's are getting too expensive now, I usually won't pay more than ÂŁ25 for a single LP, availablity of new material is often a issue in the UK. Good videođ
-
Keep the one you truly like and get rid of the one that you don't like.
-
Collecting vinyl was fun over the last 20 years when great stuff was unwanted and 50p/50c but now everybody things their destroyed Beatles 7" is worth ÂŁ100 and new albums are ÂŁ30+. I'm in the process of starting to sell.
-
Lol! Thatâs why we all start collecting. Because of all of it.
-
I agree. This is why I buy cds. However, I would like to have a small vinyl collection again at some point (when I say small I mean 4-600 albums).
-
I get it. I haven´t had any vinyl since 2001, after switching exclusively to CDs in the mid-1990s. I still buy CDs all the time, and am now at just over 4000 units on my shelves, which are full to the brim. Add over 300 CDs sitting in a closet due to room constraints and the problem becomes clear. But will I stop buying CDs because of that? Certainly not. That´s not how it works, LOL.

is there a way to make master pressing plates from a new vinyl record or if u have 2 of the same record will that help to derive the analogue to a master being manufactured from? what tech is available to derive the vinyl music i really want to know?
