Fun Stuff > BAND
Why aren't hipsters allowed to like compact discs?
a pack of wolves:
Yeah, second hand vinyl is the next cheapest thing to downloading. The idea of a world where you can't just browse through the racks in a charity shop and then buy a record by the Space Negros because it's 50p and you just have to know what a band called the Space Negros sounds like is a bleak and terrifying one indeed.
Rizzo:
From what I've heard apparently unless you're willing to pay $500ish (about 200 GBP) for one of those beasties, it's just going to sound nasty and wreck your records. However, I know you post on that other recording studio forum so I suggest asking their opinion on turntables. Frankly, I could be pulling this out my arse.
Joseph:
The idea of them is really cool, and I have considered getting one for a while, but I recall hearing the same thing as Rizzo.
supersheep:
It would also probably be cheaper to just hook your stereo system up to your computer. Assuming you have the right graphics card, all you'll need is some cabling. I can dig out that link I gave you on Gabbly if you want.
a pack of wolves:
Even if you don't have the right soundcard you can get external soundcards that'll allow you to hook up a turntable for far less than a USB turntable, or even the cost of a decent turntable and soundcard. A friend of mine never listens to the vinyl she buys, she just rips it straight to mp3 through a set-up like that (incidentally, using the exact same turntable you have tommy) and the sound quality's fine.
