Just thought I'd take the time to introduce myself

Sending these bits down the intertubes from northern Canada (we still have snow on the ground).
I've been recently infected with the vinyl bug (as of July 2011), and while it's taken some time I am in full on addict mode. Currently playing my collection on a Sony PS-T33 from 1980 equipped with a RedEd (rebadged Goldring Elan) into the phono stage on my Pioneer SA-6500II and finally out to a pair of Pioneer CS-53's.
I've just recently purchased a pair of PSB Alpha B1's to replace the Pioneer's, and have a bead on a nicely refurb'd HK730 amp to replace the SA6500. I think after that I'm going to bump up to a Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and be fairly content for awhile.
My album collection isn't vast by any stretch of the imagination, but it is beginning to take off. In no particular order:
Billy idol ??? Rebel Yell
Brian Adams ??? Reckless
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA
Cars ??? Candy O
ELO - Discovery
Foreigner ??? 4
Midnight oil - Diesel and Dust
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Nazareth - Malice in Wonderland
Pat Benatar ??? Crimes of Passion
Saga - Saga
Supertramp ??? Breakfast in America
The Knack ??? Get the Knack
The Monks - Bad Habits
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Yes - Relayer
The Rage of 1710 - Baroque Classics
Ace Frehley - Frehley's Comet
John Cougar Mellencamp - Uh Huh
Crabby Appleton - Crabby Appleton
Amadeus - Original Soundtrack
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Ozzy Osbourne: Bark at the Moon
Ozzy Osbourne: Diary of a Madman
Daft Punk - Tron Legacy Sountrack
Daft Punk - Discovery
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Adele - 21
Alice Cooper - Killer
Sammy Hagar - Three Lock Box
The Beatles (White Album)
Rolling Stones - Aftermath
Boomtown Rats - Fine Art of Surfacing
The Fixx - Reach the Beach
Otis Redding - Dictionary of Soul
I find more every day that I want to add to my collection

pm for details
Also, cop the Hall & Oates discography for $5-6, and you'll begin to fit right in. Welcome!
Its come a long long way since then and its been an awesome journey along the way.
All the best building it up.
Welcome to the Strut!
p.s. don't forget about 45s and 12s.
i guess the only thing i can say is keep buying cheap and interesting looking records. some will be good, some won't, but it's the only way!
also, get shure m44-7s or -gs instead of the ortofon cartridge and spend the extra cash on more records ;)
Never, ever that, son.
I think we might have found a new entry for the Strut lexicon here.
Damn I miss that era.
Maybe Adams was pre or concurrent, but I will invest no time in researching that wholly depressing episode.
You will quickly want to get deeper and deeper into rarer stuff??? and then come full circle and be blasting Candy O and Foreigner 4 again:
Eyes Without A Face is my joint.
This is one of the oddest collections I've seen in a while, my mind is boggled by the Adele on vinyl. I want to cry bullshit but will play nice.
I also have to the White Album, "Breakfast in America," and "Dark Side of the Moon" too. Welcome to Soul Strut, Shadow!!! Sure, dudes are clowning you, but they know they have the "H2O" LP too. :real_headz:
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
;-P
????????????????????
Yeah you should do the same with Michael Franks first 5 LPs. Should only set you back about $3.
:face_melt:
in a weird way i am excited for you becasue you are about to discover an amazing world of music you can't even fathom at this point.
I remember as a kid hearing Symphony No. 25 in G Minor in this movie and being blown away.
Hearing this on a good system at 11 is amazing!
I think this is a great idea to introduce novice diggeurs into the site!
*cough*cough*ICouldUseItToo*cough*cough
Beat me to it.
Badabing!
What brought me here? I was researching something and came across the mention of the "Youtube Vinyl Community" no idea knowing what that was, my internet sleuthing led me to this website. I dug the design, figured I'd sign up and see what's what.
And yes, my collection is bizarre I don't look at music as genres, I look at it as "Music that sounds good to my ear, is it on vinyl? Yes? Buy it." That's pretty much my entire mentality.
I'll be assembling a list of all the suggestions made in this thread and I will check them out. The Soul Strut boxset is intriguing, I think I will inquire more within.
So long for now
Also, it seems I'm out of the loop as far as the context of this websites membership. I'm getting the general feeling however that the more rare something is, the more it's valued . I just look at some records are staples of vinyl ownership in that you just gotta own em (Who owns a turntable and no Floyd, anyone?)
i can't tell if you're fifty, fifteen or french.
not even mad.
Good line to use on the ladies. Er, or dudes, I guess.
