Vinyl and no turntable.

I've been on these forums before and I remember reading a topic about how you leave stuff in the sleeve and it's bad for it, am I doing it wrong or should I just buy a turntable and if so, which one should I buy and please nothing incredibly expensive. I know that there was a topic recently talking about turntables that was bumped which was ancient but sorry to ask but you guys are way older than me and know a lot more about the subject.

What's your budget?

If you don't play your records often (at least once a week) the grooves on the record will warp making the record unplayable and useless. This can happen quickly so make sure you get a turntable asap. there are a lot of decent new turntables that you can get for under 100usd. audio technica makes a decent one.

Yeah, so you dislike volkswagon combies as well. Crush the lot of them i say. Loud, inefficient lumps that are non-ironically driven around by people that purport to want to save the environment.

so what happens to records that dont get bought till a year after they were released?

they get rebranded as avant-garde/experimental.

The kickstarter was folly!

Digitize your records man, turntables aren't really necessary in the digital vinyls era

Thanks for the tips guys.

Older or vintage turntable (Technics, Pioneer, any decent entry-level DJ model) + good cartridge should be good. Some stereo shops or record stores will "tune-up" turntables as well - adjusting arms, cleaning parts, etc.

These are great resources if you decide to buy used:

It still amazes me that this works. Nowadays it would be bluetooth linked to the stereo as well.

Project essential

Probably off-topic but I just discovered this...

Ceephax supposedly played at Eindbaas 15 with 8GB and Chris Moss Acid but there were issues, I am still looking for video/audio of his part because they played acid chiptunes but the stream messed up.

8GB played at a festival here a few weeks ago; great guy! Really knows how to get a dancefloor moving.
