In Reply to: Fiance disapproves of my vinyl addition - need help posted by kgturner on October 29, 2004 at 17:26:27:
My girlfriend (soon to be fiancee hopefully, wish me luck guys!) doesn't mind my record collecting or hifi interests, in fact she says it's quite sweet whenever I wax lyrical about my latest charity shop finds or other audio nerdiness. Which is good! But I've started buying a few records of things that she likes - Green Day, AFI, that sort of thing, in order to try and bring her further into the fold. I would suggest getting a couple of LPs that your lady might like, or ones that you know she does like, and spinning them, as someone else said, with a bottle of nice, and see if you can't change her mind. If you want, you can mention about the relative cheapness of some of the music that you like on vinyl - compare prices of classical piano cds to what you pay for LPs of the same music at your local charity shops - we're talking a factor of 10 here.
Whoops! I just spotted that someone else has already made this suggestion... that's what you get for not reading all the threads!
Best of luck with this, as another person said, it's not something you want to get hung up on at this stage. But talk to her, find out why she's so down on vinyl - maybe she doesn't like the time or money spent on the hobby, or maybe she's just cross because you didn't ask her first, or maybe you just need to buy her something sparkly to make her feel needed. I dunno, women are strange creatures!Certainly I think you're justified in keeping the Rega until you at least listen and find out if vinyl is for you. If you don't have a big collection already, it will be expensive to build one up if your taste is more towards modern artists. But you can only try it and see.
