Tell us your Vinyl Story
I used to listen to records extensively during my childhood (late 70s, early 80s). Then in my late teens and early adulthood - cassettes became more popular. Finally CDs. A few years back - with the vinyl resurgence - decided to get into vinyls once more
Which is the most valuable record in your collection?
Harry Belafonte Live At Carnegie Hall Analogue Productions
Tell us about your turntable setup.
Denon DP-300F with Ortofon 2M Red, iFi Zen Phono. (Earlier setup - Pro-Ject Essential II, Pro-Ject Phono Box E, Rega Fono Mini A2D)
Any advice to people that are about to start their collection?
1. Avoid vinyls created from digital masters even if they're from reputed labels. 2. please do research on a label as well as a pressing before buying. 3. good phono pre-amp is a must. 4. Labels like Analogue Productions, Craft Recordings, ORG Music, Speakers Corner, Sam Records, Blue Note and MoFi may be expensive but are worth the price - so try to save up and buy titles from these labels
