OK, with this smallish turntable discussion going on, I though I
would lend my hand at dispelling any misconceptions/questions about
getting a turntable or vinyl in general. I am a 17 year old student/part
time worker, just so you know.
1. "I can't afford a turntable!!"
-Yes, you can. I work at a really crappy job, and I just saved to
get my 1200 for a long time. And you don't even need a 1200. Get a
Gemeni 1000. Decent price, decent preformance. Just save.
2. "Why do you guys love vinyl? CD's are so much better!" (not said, but
I am sure was thought)
- Vinyl is great because it's so much more *real* than a CD. Its
big, its solid, it's *there*. You see it being played, you can see the
grooves. You manipulate the playing manually. It has a distinctive sound
to it. You can find it cheap. Lots of *great* stuff is only on vinyl.
Vinyl has larger, better artwork on the packaging. On the other hand,
CD's are so *cold*. I mean, I use them when I have to, yeah. But it's so
technical, so false. You put it in a closed little area, and you don't
know what the hell is going on in there. :)
So thats my 2 cents and more. Thats why I dig vinyl, thats how I got my
table. SKAM02 is worth my money alone. Really.
Later, all. Stay mellow.
