I pulled out a led zep II that Ive had since I was 20 , and it was old as hell then, and that mother fucker sounded like frying bacon it was so dirty and worn out
I do love vinyl though. I grew up on my dad's record collection, pulling out random LPs and putting them on the record player. Fell in love with 60-70s rock from a young age. I was doing this when my junior high classmates were discovering shit like Bon Jovi, and mocking the shit out of me for listening to shit like Jethro Tull (aka 'some fag with a flute')
There's just something about going through the effort of hauling out this great big thing, placing the needle on, sitting back and listening to the warmth and snap/crackle/pop of a dirty/scratched record. It's like sitting by a campfire or something, hard to explain.
you can fix that. Coat the lp in wood glue, peel off. Not only an extremely satisfying feeling, but brings it right back to original quality.

yep. Massively tactile.
Also it made me stop listening to songs and start listening to albums again.
I got sick of my own ipod playlists.This
A lot of albums are produced as a whole, with a flow, intended to be listened to as a whole.
Not as a single mp3
I remember, baba.. it was one of the only threads he ever posted.Titus had lots of LPs.
This is my music listening these days.
Grado SR-125's, plugged into this thing I built 10-12 years ago (holy shit, I'm old) which measures better on Audio Precision gear than red book CD is capable of.
