Who has a vinyl records collection here?

[IIE]

Alam ko na hindi na common mangolekta ng plaka nowadays. However, I am still keeping some new wave vinyl records with me. There are times na pini play ko yun at tinititigan ko yung mga sleeves pag inaalala ko yung 80s era. May mga times na bumibili pa din ako from ebay.

Just want to know if somebody here in tsikot still collects/keeps vinyl records.

naku po, dami namin ganyang disk... nun nabubuhay pa ang aking father... 60, 70's etc. hehehe!!! meron din tayong kasama dito na meron pa up to now na 80s at mas vintage pa na plaka.... hehehe!!! si xto also yun boss ko dami din 80's... ako mp3 na lang e. hehehe!!!!

[the josh]

Yup I still collect them! I go to 2nd hand shops, flea markets and garage sales to buy them. I got jazz, blues, classical, 60's rock and roll, 70's, 80's, 90's as well as X'mas records. I play them on my 80's English made Manticore Mantra w/ Linn LVV tonearm and Ortofon OM10 cartridge, APX 10W class A Tube amp, and B&W DM309's. I am also into SACD's and DVD audios which has a separate set-up (Yamaha RXV 540 6.1 amp, Yamaha S657 Universal player, Kef Cresta speakers and Velodyne CHT-10R sub), my cd set-up is separate as well (Rega Apollo, Qinpu A1.0x amp, wharfedale 9.6 speakers, Paul Speltz antiwires, silver interconnects)
some of my favorite records:

Dire Straits (brothers in arms)
Pink Floyd (Dark side of the moon)
James Taylor (classic songs)
Billy Joel (greatest hits)
Spyro Gyra (morning dance)
Earl Klugh (the magic of)
Linda Ronstadt (what's new)
Eagles (very best)
Elvis (greatest hits)
Engelbert Humperdink (greatest hits)
Nat King Cole (greatest hits)

Noong sikat pa ang Bee Gees sa mga Discos, yung Saturday Night Fever Album nila(Night Fever, Staying Alive, How Deep is Your Love, etc.) nila, ang ganda ng tunog sa vinyl. Litaw na litaw yung "kalansing at sagitsit" nung clapper sa percussion. Which is iba na ang tunog sa CD version niya.

Yung slow rock pieces ng Scorpions, like "Always Somewhere", ang ganda rin ng labas sa vinyl. Again, sa CD, iba na ang tunog.

[mikaztro]

i still have them. over a thousand 12" mixes and lps. i didn't sell them after
our mobile got disbanded. iba talaga ang tunog nito at buong buo though depende
sa stylus na gamit. shure is one of the best syempre. at kayang
timplahin thru pitch control ng tt. i left one technics turntable with me.

yung ibang new wave namin then ng barkada mga picture disk pa from uk.
like the care, madonna, real life, gene loves jezebel etc. at remember the
tears for fears version of everybody wants to run the world. not rule?
well, those were the days.

XTO, parehas pala tayo nag mo-mobile before. I still have thousands of LP's/EP's with me. Yung nga lang puro dust na at yung iba inipis na sa storage. Ang sarap talaga i reminisce yung era ng late 80's to early 90's especially the New Wave era. I can still recall unoorder pa kami ng mga remix albums sa UK and sa Germany. Mahal pa ng plaka nun pati yung mga kasangkapan sa pag mobile. I still have my MK2's with me pero wala na yung mga mixers and amps. I think you can still buy shure stylus sa Megamixx. I think it is still open pa yata. Meron din bilihan ng stylus sa may Raon.

Right now, i'm collecting new wave mp3's para i remix ko sa pc pag wala ako ginagawa. I've remixed about 80 remix songs from the past and created a few of my own originals.

Nabaha,- itinapon.....

buti na lang, 1 of my top 100 favorite words in the world caught my eye in the post title --> vinyl.... sounds sublime doesnt it... vinyl. sarap pati spellingin. v-i-n-y-l.

i don't dj at all during the 80s but i have 2 mk2s and an old black trashy numark mixer at home to fulfill my fantasy of being a 'spinner' when i'm alone. hehehe. those were the days alright. parties and mobiles. i remember every clubhouse in every makati and pasig village, pati polo club, as long as its a friday or a saturday night, me and my friends hop on a dodge colt (naka lifters, wide wheels, and headers) then gatecrash all the parties. strobe lights, mirror balls... in the front is a packed dancefloor, teenfest!!! aweful fashion really... the care, seona dancing or perhaps blue zoo blasting loud on those oldskool bose speakers (901? 802? 90210?) and right in the deadsmack center of it all, a pedestal... with the spinner as priest, holding up a record as chalice. i don't mean to be blasphemous but wasn't vinyls god during the day?

[mikaztro]

Actually, its the indian and not the arrow. DJ's of yesteryears are underrated individuals that didn't get the credit they deserve. Good thing DMC took off and gave local DJ's a piece of cake of international DJ competitions stardom.

[stadaenko]

unfortunately before, it wasn't even about the indian. it was the tribe. as in, the mobile name. when there was something happening, ang tanong pa nga, sino mobile? so in terms of billing, ang importante ay #1, marami bang chicks? #2, what school? #3, ano sounds? new wave? disco? punk? #4, sino mobile? #5, free drinks ba? #6, may invitaion ba tayo? #6, where do we get drunk first? #7, dude whose bringing the car? of course, i'm just messing around. the point is, mikaztro's spot on, the dj's, vinyl dj's at that, of yesteryears were unsung heroes. i remember before ang bpm, nakasulat sa kapirasong masking tape na nakadikit sa album cover. bagsik!

[Eismann]

Yup, I still have one cabinet full of vinyl records....the bolshoi, gene loves jezebel, aztec camera, gnr, U2, etc....they still sounded great the last time i tried them. Aside from these I also kept a collection of LD's...yeah those huge CD's that played great on a pioneer multidisc player!

[mikaztro]

Stad, have you tried using Sonic Foundry's Acid pro 4.0. Yan gamit ko pang mix ng mga mp3 songs pag wala ako ginagawa. Pang alis ng stress. Hehehe. Madali gamitin and you can create cd mixes in a jiffy. I've tried mixing 80 songs in 70 minutes and all of them are not extended version. I have also remixed and created songs ranging from pop-new wave-hip hop-jazz etc.

One of my favorite mix yung "one on one" ni Hall & Oates and remixed it with 2 live crew's own dirty version of "one on one".

[mikaztro]

Eisman, iba talaga tunog ng vinyl records noh...Iba pa din may popcorn popping sound. Di ba? Cd/mp3 songs kasi eh medyo evident ang treble kesa sa bass. Dun nagkatalo ang analog versus digital. :D

[XTO]

numark with sampler, mk2's, bose 802's, jbl long throws and j-types with 15"
drivers, kinetic sound lab power amps, crossover and limiter. tsk tsk naiiyak ako

the increasing bpm intensity once the night heat up. wow! always something there
to remind me nga naman.

nowadays i just rely on mp3's available and whenever there are new waves
talagang hindi pwedeng di ko busisisin ang laman baka may makalusot na
version eh.

[mikaztro]

xto, iba talaga ang mixing pag gamit ang mga vinyl records. Lumalabas talaga ang skills ng spinner pag yung ang gamit. Ngayon kasi, puro mp3, cd mixes na kaya wala na masyado thrill. I remember 5 years ago, I saw a dj in Bazura Boracay, he still uses vinyl and mixing it up with cd and his pc with mp3. Old and new school combined. I had fun watching him.

[stadaenko]

mikaztro, sorry but not really into mp3s at all. the most i strayed away and cheated on my vinyls are on cds. hehehe. kung malayo na sound quality ng cds from vinyl, lalo na mp3s! sayang ang crown amps...hehehe

ayun, bose 802s! hay salamat.

[russpogi]

I have some 45s that I plan to get rid of. I'm not really an audiophile and my aunt left it at her old house when I was a kid. I was curious then and them home.

Magkano kaya mga ito? Where can I sell them?

[stadaenko]

imported po ba? anyways, post mo titles of those 45s. i think the 45s were only made up to the early 80s so its going to be really just mostly classics and not pang-mix (ü). don't know how much they would cost though. in makati cinema's basement floors, there's a bit of heaven there where some shops sell old records and turntables, they might give you an idea how much 45s would go for. baka bilin pa nila if they're good titles.

Di ko sure but most likely locally stamped yung mga yun. Salamat sir!

When I'm back in Manila I'll take pics of my dad's audio room, his collection, etc...
