Grandsons first 180 gram Vinyl Purchase /first beginner 2 Channel Rig

gudnoyez

With his hard earned money he bought his first 180 gram Vinyl Record. I hooked him up with a Onkyo Reciever, a Pioneer Turntable, and a pair of Polks he could of had a cd player hooked up but says he's strictly Vinyl, just another hipster young un riding the Vinyl craze says he can't wait for his next fix so we are gonna hit goodwill and salvation army tomorrow, me and the wife left him alone snuck up on him and he was dancing something like this. He was a little embarrassed but we told to go ahead and get his groove on. Yeah a vinyl fanatic in the making.

Lucky he has a bad azz grandpa to show him the ropes:)

Oh yeah tomorrow he's heading to Des Moines with his little girl friend to see some band called Fall out Boy. Chip off the old block. So he will have to wait until Tuesday for our next vinyl run.

Right on! Wait a second...

I said said no rap albums!

gudnoyez

Well he had Queen News Of The World, & AC/DC Highway To Hell, in his hands but said wait a minute this here Straight Of Compton is a double LP and for $24.99 I'm getting twice the music so I said way to think buddy double your pleasure, plus he new I had those other two anyways, he is vinyl.crazy I'm telling you.

Looks like a fine start to me.

Nice & tell him WTG!

My 1st LP was Kansas*Leftoverture* back when I was a TG&Y stock boy, use to spend my breaks looking at Album covers.

New Fall Out Boy is kinda lame, but they were very big when I was in high school over a decade ago. The lead singer is very talented, dude can play something like 70+ instruments and he can sing at every octave.
( One of my wife's favorite groups.)

HIGH SCHOOL a decade ago????? God I'm old. LOL

That's so cool, I gave my son a 77 vintage receiver, audio control eq, realistic amp and a pair of cerwin vega d-9s and that set up angers his mom at times but he loves it. And him liking it makes me happy, the receiver is a project one.

Mine was Black Sabbath's first album (with the witch on the cover).
On it's first playing, at the part where Ozzy screams "OH NO GOD PLEASE HELP ME" ! , my mother appeared in my bedroom doorway, with a concerned look on her face................it was to be the beginning of many such looks.

With the efficient D9's, that should create some volume wars at home LOL

I was going to say something about Straight Outta Compton being a strange first record but who am I to talk, the first record I ever picked out was Alice Cooper Killer...

gudnoyez

It's the Soundtrack to Straight Outta Compton, he is waiting for Record store day to pick out some more, He says he can't wait to get something new, he wants to start collecting Pink Floyds output on vinyl.

voltz

^^^^
That is a good one to start collecting

Believe it or not I've had the original Straight Outta Compton album for years, enjoyed the movie also.

Nightfall

Be careful those new Pink Floyd remasters are killing my wallet. I have 2 out of 4 that I want, WYWH and Darkside. Still don't have The Wall as it's a tough $50 pill to swallow for two LP's. I got lucky and found a mint original Animals at my record store for $17. Even WYWH and Darkside were $30 a piece which is technically even more expensive per LP than The Wall. Crazy prices.

Records should be $20 friggin' dollars.

I can't complain too much though since I keep paying what I feel is too high of a price.

Very cool, another audiophile in the making---and VINYL at that!
