I know.



just because I bought one album?


yes but it applies to more than just you

what vinyls are you going to buy? like I said for the digitally produced stuff, vinyl offers little advantage. get into sacd/dvd-a if you want better sound.

Well it's true that I don't have a job and am still spending money on games, food and some stuff. However I do have about $67k in the bank. Which isn't to say I'm spending wisely, just saying I'm not going into dept or anything.

beware of used records...unless you know what you are doing, you will get burned.

and get used to click and pops, it's less frustrating that way :biggrin:

by getting burned. It's about visual examination and maybe if they'll let you play it first.

Remember, records deteriorate just by playing it. Or just sitting there.

Ahh. Actually I'd love to visit Athens Greece. Wonder if travel prices will drop when their government completely implodes? :hmm: Course it could become dangerous then.

Wait a couple of weeks and you can probably pick up Acropolis for 50k.

My corp finance prof is from greece. In fact we didn't have class during the 1st week because he was there doing some consulting work there.

alfa will burn through tons of cash in his vinyl quest.

Oh No!

The few that I have visited do allow you to sample them first.
