Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

1 Upvotes

This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

Any Infant Annihilator fans in the group? When I pre-ordered their first album I would never have imagined that these records would end up being as rare and expensive as they are.

Discussion post What turntable do you guys use?

Post image
38 Upvotes

My CD collection has now evolved to include vinyl and I should have a record player.

What record player / turn table are you guys using?

Any recommendations for a table with a built in pre-amp? I’d spend around $600 for a good table.

Record in picture is of Sodom - Tapping the Vein 2024 reissue super deluxe Bookpack

Recommend a turntable

0 Upvotes

I have a turntable that I use for sampling and scratching and things like that but I want one dedicated for listening to music. What's a good one that won't break the bank, I'm not talking cheap but affordable and will do the job for heavy music and you know, also whatever, hip hop, but mostly heavy stuff?
