Narps Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I don't really expect much run on this thread I just wanted to shout from the mountaintops that I am back in the vinyl listening business again. The last time I listened to vinyl must have been 30 years ago I would say. I have kept all my mostly 70's vinyl for just an occasion such as this. I have my original late 70's Technics turntable and my late 70's Onkyo receiver setup. I got some gift cards for Christmas and went and got 2 Klipsch bookshelf type speakers and they sound great to me. They seemed the best quality and sound for the limited funds I could spend. My son and I set it all up yesterday. The imperfect perfection of vinyl, oh how I missed it!!I have an extra room off the living room all set up as a comfy listening area. I may bring the laptop in there to as I really need to relax and get away from the television news for a while and listen to music, post on the forum and possibly even read some.Thanks to many here for the push to this moment. Without your encouragement I probably never would have done this.... :cheers: and thanks again.Below are a few pics of my listening,lounge space....http://s9.postimg.org/agc9td0rj/20150103_095303.jpghttp://s15.postimg.org/nbl02ujsb/20150103_094957.jpghttp://s23.postimg.org/p94ibsirf/20150103_095053.jpg 11

Narps Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Awesome... now you can finally listen to Vapor Trails Remixed on vinyl!My daughter gave it to me for Christmas. It was mostly for sentimental reasons as I took her to the Vapor Trails show when she we 17 and we had a special bonding moment then. I didn't have the heart to tell her how much I disliked the album. I will try to listen to it one of these days.... 3

MickI can't imagine it magically sounding wonderful and not all distorted. Probably not much to worry about on this front. I plan on framing it and hanging it on the wall along with my first two albums ever bought (seen in the pics I posted). I may leave the actual vinyl in the album when I frame Vapor Trails and hang it. I will listen once and if it sounds sh*tty then I will probably hang the whole thing on the wall vinyl and all..... 3

Because it is a awesome album, you just have to get used to it a bit more.. maybe vinyl will help you! 1

YYZumbi Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) By the way Narpski, are you gonna buy the new vinyls that Rush are gonna release soon then, now when you can listen to vinyl again? I think that, if they are as remastered as their first vinyl release RUSH, then they will sound great! Edited January 3, 2015 by YYZumbi

I think that, if they are as remastered as their first vinyl release RUSH, then they will sound great!I was just looking on Amazon and it seems I can get just about anything from the past in good used condition. I thought I had up to Power Windows but I don't. Grace Under Pressure was the last one I bought many years ago. I would like to get Power Windows, HYF and Presto. I am also shocked to find out that I don't have Close To The Edge either. I have seemingly every Yes album up to Drama possible except CTTE. I must have it. I have at least 6 or 7 Rick Wakeman albums. I have Squires Fish Out Of Water. I have an Alan White album and a Jon Anderson solo album and a Steve Howe solo album. I have Yes out the @ss but not Close To The Edge!! I even have Tales and Relayer which aren't my favorites by a long stretch. WTF was I thinking as a pimple faced teenager?....

Something is only original once... :) True. :) I have all originals as well, except for Fly By Night and A Show Of Hands, but I will still buy the new released ones anyway thou, 2 of each, 1 to keep safe and 1 to play. :) Some of the originals I have now have been so overplayed that they are damaged (Caress Of Steel, 2112 and Signals), so those I have to change!
Narps Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Sorry Mick but VT on vinyl doesn't sound to bad... :( 1
