Classic Vinyl
I have about 3 to 400 old LP's that I haven't listened to in quite a while. I also have an old ( but in great condition ) Sansui turntable. It is a linear tracking one, but there seems to be a problem, as the tone arm is sticking. Probably just needs a cleaning from non use. I will not take it apart myself, soo, I'm taking it on Monday to an audio service guy that was recommended to me.
Any other vinyl listeners out there?

Re: Classic Vinyl
Not really but I do have many albums from the 70’s and 80’s. My wife bought one of those turntables that transfers LP’s to digital but she hasn’t used it very much yet. It’s kind of a pain and I think she got frustrated with it.

Re: Classic Vinyl
Have about 100 LPs and maybe as many 45s in very good shape. Have a good turntable as well but I have not used it in a long time. I used to record on cassettes for when I was on the road and to save wear on my vinyl and I recently unboxed my cassette recorder to check it out. I was wondering if the tapes were still available and purchased a couple blocks of decent ones last week. I never did transfer my vinyl to CDs either. I have an amp and speakers set up in my shop and play music that I burned onto my phone from CDs I own and unlimited music that I get from Apple for $10 per month. I figured I would make some more tapes to play in that environment so I could listen to the music without damaging my vinyl. Saw an article that stated cassettes were making a come back with the new metallic tape but it is expensive.

Vinyl has made a huge comeback and some are worth good money as well.

Re: Classic Vinyl
With more time on my hands these days, I have been exploring some of my old interests. Every LP I have, has a special story or memory behind it.

Re: Classic Vinyl
Had hundreds at one time but all gone now. The fun part was the album art, foldouts, posters, liner notes. It was a whole experience getting a new album.

Re: Classic Vinyl
Sadly, I gave all of my vinyl away in the eighties after CDs were developed. I should have been smarter about that. I've bought thousands of dollars worth of CDs over the last 40 years, then converted them into 320 kbps MP3s, which is what I listen to today through my hearing aids and smartphone of all things. The benefit (glass half full) of getting old is that my hearing is not as precise as it once was, so the MP3s sound great.
Oddly, I did hang onto a very high end turntable and stereo receiver, both of which are in excellent condition. The stylus on that turntable cost me $150 back then. I also have a decent 7" four channel Akai reel-to-reel tape recorder from the eighties. I have no idea why I still keep them.
