deletedunknown Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I prefer the 7" singles for organizational purposes. My 12" singles sit in a crate off to the side of my shelves and feel like they don't have a good home (This is based on my previous set up; I just moved so this may change) I integrate my 12" singles with the rest of the albums, so I feel like they get neglected more for it. Especially singles from the 80s that are almost like oversized flexis. So 7" all the way, though I don't listen to 7" in general too much unless I'm in the mood for a lot of variety and, of course, flipping/changing out.

amnstypls Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The only thing I dont like about 7" is when they dont have a nice sized lip for lead in grooves. I do a lot of my spinning under the influence of alcohol, and my drunk ass never can get the needle to drop in the right spot when there is only one lead in groove!

atticus Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I feel like 10"s are under utilized. I love an ep on 10" vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I feel like 10"s are under utilized. I love an ep on 10" vinyl. 10"s are terrible. Always sitting in between the grooves built into my slip mat for picking up 7s easily. I honestly wish I didn't have so many 10s heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicity Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I feel like 10"s are under utilized. I love an ep on 10" vinyl. Ditto. But given the choice, I'd take 7" over 12" for a single or EP. And my turntable has a setting for each of those, but not 10". I've had a few accidents in the past with 10" records as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes I throw on a 10" and without thinking I just hit play. Those are the accidents I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 My platter is only 10" (I have a Dual from the 70's) so luckily I've not had any issues when I start the spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 10"s are such a pain in the ass, more expensive to make, and less music than a 12". STUPID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 For newer pressed singles - well neither, unless I really need the song for whatever reason then I guess whatever's available. For older singles - if there is a 12" option available, I will always go for that. Almost all the big hits of the 80's had a 12" counterpart to their 7". You wanna get into variants? The Euro 12"s were generally cut at 45 and the US 12"s were generally cut at 33, so I will typically go for a UK or German single of a song if one was pressed.
