My new experimentation format

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

When I got back into vinyl in the mid to late '90s, I could go into a thrift store and walk out with arm-fulls of pristine vinyl for a song. So, vinyl became my way of auditioning new (to me) music at very little expense. The days of cheap, plentiful vinyl are largely gone and things like Pandora radio have become my new way of expanding my horizons but I've also started buying cassettes. In most thrifts they're still cheap and available by the bucketful. The downside is most of them sound like crap so they're definitely a preview medium but it is fun to fire up the ol' tape deck again.

I occasionally throw in a high-quality tape just to remind me of what was eventually possible at 1 7/8 ips.

Just like LPs, people are "shedding" their CD collections as it's so easy - Muzikmike 13:31:43 03/14/12 (0)
