It's where real Hi Fidelity music still lives!

 

I agree, only teasing. I've got about 100 LPs that my dad gave me and it's quite a collection: Stones, Beatles, Floyd, Steppenwolf, etc.

 

Several years ago I found a JJ Cale record at a Goodwill for 50 cents. I bought it and used the audio card on my computer to capture the whole record. Later, I downloaded some MP3s from the same album and listened to them side by side. It's like night and day! And that's after I ran the record through my soundcard to get it digitally onto my hard drive!

I need a new pre-amp badly, I have been looking at a ONKYO TX nr801, it would help me expand my stereo out into surround sound and be a good pre-amp for my vinyl but so far the best I've found a used on at was $400.00. May as well be $400,000,000!

 

Probably not the best quality, but what about this one for $18?

Hmmm...looking at the ONKYO now, I see it is more than just a preamp. It's a reciever with 7.1 capabilities as well. You could try and snipe this one on ebay. It's at about $42 with shipping right now.

i believe we are standing on opposing sides of a cultural chasm :). thats actually closer to the mtv/radio-friendly/melodic end of the metal spectrum for me! :read:

I would enjoy very much any of those tunskis minus the vocals:hihi:

 

I'm with you DD. I like heavy metal instrumentation, but I've never cared for the "I want to sound like a demon" vocals. :)

 

And now for something completely different!
