With the resurgence of vinyl I was surprised that there was no collective thread for All Things Vinyl.
I was into vinyl as a kid in the '70s and '80s, but was an early adopter of CDs back in the mid-80s. I all but abandoned vinyl by senior year in high school, 1987.
Back in 2014, I dug out my albums, my beat up Kenwood turntable, an old home theater receiver and some unused speakers and started listening again. I bought a record collection from a friend's uncle a few months later and have been at it ever since. A few years ago the Kenwood died beyond repair and I picked up a reconditioned 1979 Revox B95 turntable (pic below) which is an amazing sounding turntable, even with my Frankenstein setup.
I shop for vinyl anywhere I can including tag sales, flea markets and several record shops throughout CT and MA. Favorites are Mystic Disc, Redscroll Records in Wallingford, Revolution Records in Torrington The Telegraph in New London and Rob's Records in Great Barrington, MA. If I'm looking for some harder to find stuff, the user-based app Discogs has been a great source.
I would love to be able to keep this thread running with people posting their recent vinyl or gear purchases, info on new releases, places they shop or anything else vinyl related.
