DJ Quik Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I just started my vinyl collection and have 9 so far, 6 new 3 used. I should start with a new vinyl or used first? and what will be the sound difference? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It depends on two factors, condition and pressing. A used copy of an older pressing in great condition usually sounds better than more modern pressings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 if you need to ask, you should stick with mp3s. 213041284s and smailtronic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It doesn't matter, if it looks alright, it'll probably play alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundboard Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm new to DJ Quick should I listen to old or new tracks? (p.s. no need for a real answer - this is a joke) Real answer. It just depends on what you are looking for and what condition it is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm a newb and I don't really understand the chastising of other newbs. This is a forum for vinyl people, why can't he ask for help without getting smartass responses (this is a rhetorical question as I understand the laws of the internet) chutterhanban, Aych, toxicity and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolhandnick Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The laws of any internet forum, expect trolls and half assed answers! Even when somebody answers your question they feel obligated to make you feel dumb for asking. I too do not understand why, but alas have gotten used to it.

This is a forum for vinyl people, why can't he ask for help without getting smartass responses (this is a rhetorical question as I understand the laws of the internet) I think it's the fact that previous post/threads on this board should answer his question. If he just dug a little bit and read around on here he could easily find all the information he needs to make an educated guess on what to do. - Without having to create an entire thread about it. If that all seems too much just google: new vinyl vs old vinyl It easily brings up a ton of articles on the subject. cbbrew22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtcb Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I just started my vinyl collection and have 9 so far, 6 new 3 used. I should start with a new vinyl or used first? and what will be the sound difference? thanks Like the (helpful) posts in this thread have said, it depends on a couple of things. For example, I've got some Queen original pressings that I bought because they were in good shape and they sound fantastic. I've got some re-issues that I bought brand new that sound great too. So unless it's something where the original version is notorious for sounding bad, then go for the lesser expensive one that it's in good shape.

This is a forum for vinyl people, why can't he ask for help without getting smartass responses (this is a rhetorical question as I understand the laws of the internet) because it's an irrelevant question. some people collect used records, some people collect new records. why should anyone tell this person what they should collect? surely this isn't a real question. kriss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read your responses and I haven't seen you answer his question or help him at all. You're just complaining about treatment. If it bothers you so much answer his question nicely. Be the change you seek. lemongoat, Koolhandnick and dreamover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Buy new when you can afford to (pre-orders and such) and if you want the limited variants and all that noise. Buy used all other times. Edit: Don't mind the smart asses around here, they have nothing better to do than flex their message board muscles around new people or something.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 But what's it matter? Leave the thread alone then if it's annoying question or whatever But bro. It's taking up space on the front page. What if someone misses a Fall Out Boy pre-order? Did you think of that? drds89, lemongoat and no use for a username 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Dear VC. I've been collecting vinyl for 8 years and I don't know why. Can you tell me? Please help. batman and kriss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriCHERatops Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Buy some off of people on here. Every purchase I've made from a member here has been excellent. raynerho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesix Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Doesn't really matter, just buy the records you want/like. I usually try to avoid beat up spines, but usually i'm more concerned with the condition of the record itself. I say buy what you will enjoy and can afford. searos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpitts Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 But what's it matter? Leave the thread alone then if it's annoying question or whatever A lot of people here are self-absorbed, petulant dicks who go out of their way to belittle others. The sooner you come to terms with that, the easier this forum is to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron666monkey Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Anyway, collect what you can afford bro or bro-ette. It's a massive hobby/experience. You'll figure out what suits you best soon enough. Welcome to the hobby and don't let the snobby dick bags scare you off. sugarballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
