Post subject:  Re: Vinyl Lovers...What's Spinning on your TT?
With that vintage Pioneer receiver that I picked up I've been running through some of the classics and it feels like I'm listening to them for the first time.

Last night:
Pink Floyd - DSOTM (the beginning of Breathe just melted right out of my speakers it was so smooth)
Zeppelin II - cranked of course. I've been off Zep for a long time, but the setup was just asking for it.

Next up some PJ and other modern analog recordings.

2) Bruce Springsteen- Nebraska
3) Pink Floyd-Meddle
4) Neil Young-On the Beach (sooooo good on vinyl)
5) Pearl Jam- No Code (just great on vinyl as well)

Excellent choices. Zeppelin IV is also fantastic on vinyl. As is King Crimson's first album, which sounds epic on a good setup.

Do you guys buy into this 180gram vinyl craze? Is it truly any better or is it just less likely to bend out of shape? So here I am already with the complete Zeppelin catalog on vinyl in Fair-Good condition, but I'm actually tempted to replace some of them with teh 180g reissues. Any thoughts?

i'm all about it if i don't already have something, but since i already have most of the Zep albums in pretty good condition, i don't see the point in buying all the reissues. I will say that the dark side of the moon 30th anniversary reissue sounds THICK AS FUCK though.

i agree with all of the above. plus, those zep reissues are pretty expensive. i don't think you'd be getting a very big upgrade in sound for $40+.

yeah, it's hard to justify that much money for something i've already paid $5 for that sounds awesome already. I probably wore out my houses of the holy though

and yes, the thicker vinyl does sound better.

Post subject:  Re: Vinyl Lovers...What's Spinning on your TT?
thicker vinyl only sounds better if it is analog mastered and if you have a decent needle.

Otherwise, original releases are always better.
