It’s a all-in-one portable unit. And it’s mono. It doesn’t seem that bad to me, although I suppose I could have somebody look at it.
I checked “yes,” even though it’s not connected to my stereo. It’s connected to my computer, and I use it to transfer vinyl to digital. I’ll probably put it in a closet when I’m done.
No. I had a crappy old one in my teens back in the late 80s, but I’ve fully embraced the digital format since then.
How about: huge record collection, much of which will never appear on cd or pay-for download.
.
Yep. It’s hooked up to the system right now. The only inhibition to using at this moment is an album cover lying on top of the cover. (Dire Straits, if it matters)
Yes.
I bought one last year to connect to my computer and convert my old LPs to digital. I have a steamer trunk packed full of 80’s R&B albums (some by really obscure artists) and many of them are 12in singles which would never be released on CD or on a Greatest Hits collection
How proud you must be.
No. I don’t even have a functioning cassette player outside of my car. I nearly bought a turntable at a thrift store a few years ago, but I let a family member I was shopping with have it instead and never got around to finding another one.
Edit: I’m in my 20s.
Don’t even think about touching my Thorens TD-160 unless you want to lose some fingers! I love vinyl and am always on the look-out for records to add to the collection.
Of course, I also have several Reel-to-Reel tape decks going, so I suppose that probably puts me into the category of “That crazy ol’ coot down the street that’s playing that loud-ass Opera stuff again.”
I love reel to reels, they just look so cool, and folk are surprised at just how good they sound - until I mention that a huge number of remastered CDs were originally laid down on tape.
I have several B&O r2rs, a nice Akai and a very nice Sony 765 - which is regarded as one of the very best. One day I might move on to a Revox B77 - I’ll never ever be able to afford a Nagra - look on EBAY and you’ll soon see why.
In my 40s and put no. But really, I have one somewhere and don’t know if it works or not. I generally only listen to music in the car or at the gym so a turntable does not fit in with my lifestyle.
I still have most of my vinyl

The turntable’s fine and would work OK, as far as I know. The stylus, though, is rubbish and I wouldn’t want to inflict it on any of my LPs, so I never use it. In fact, I’m in the middle of a major cull and am going to get rid of my vinyl, since it’s taking up so much house room.
Mine’s plugged in but has a wiring fault that needs sorted before it’ll play again.
I’ll either fix it or buy a new one.
I’ve got far too much vinyl I want to be able to listen to to not have a turntable! And I know I’ll never bother ripping it all to mp3. When it was working, I’d go through phases of playing a lot or never touching it for months…
I’m in my mid-50s.
fully functioning and ready to go in my media cabinet right this sec.
most of my music IS on LPs. i have maybe thirty or fourty CDs at the most, but 100s of records in perfect, playable condition.
anyone for some ‘frankie goes to hollywood?’
over 50 and female. i even have all my 45s!
I listen to vinyl all the time! I also recently bought one of those retro-1930’s record/cd/tape players with a MP3 plug (except that I don’t own an MP3-thingee ).
Oddly enough I still own, and play, all the records I have bought since high school. Even a stack of 45’s.
I just got a small bunch of 78’s and they are so much fun!
Who needs a computer? Not me.
I’m in my 50s and I’m a “No”. I haven’t owned a working one in over 15 years. I never owned an 8-track player or tapes, either.
Yes, now and then I even dig out my Brenda Lee.
Of course I do. I also own more records than CDs.
