MTObsidian
02.24.25 | I just impulse-bought Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation online over the weekend. I'm a sucker for vinyls but I love how they sound and how pretty the jackets are.
I'd limit myself to just buying from local record stores to spend less money but my flyover town doesn't have one that's worth a damn. :( Closest one worth checking out is like a 2 hour drive. |
Faraudo
02.24.25 | I bought tons of records on Amazon a couple of years back, especially since getting stuff from Bandcamp to Mexico is pretty much impossible without paying a ton of money. Fortunately, there are like 5 new record stores in my city and they all do excellent work curating their stock. |
MTObsidian
02.24.25 | Lucky you! We used to have one and it sucked and then just closed down. Oh well.
This thread reminds me: I should update my Discogs profile, haven't done that it a while. |

02.26.25 | Been meaning to start a discogs account and add everything, but the idea of listing 450 plus records has my adhd brain in shambles, really need to do it eventually though.
As for all you collectors out there, I have been using my Hummingbird S Duo Pro stylus cleaner for two months now, it’s a game changer for sound quality |

02.26.25 | “As for all you collectors out there, I have been using my Hummingbird S Duo Pro stylus cleaner for two months now, it’s a game changer for sound quality“
that price tag though |
Jash
02.26.25 | I mean when I upgraded to a $300 cartridge I wanted to get something that would lengthen its life, and just give my better sound quality going forward. If you invest that much on records, then why would you not invest that much on quality components, and cleaning components to make them sound great and keep your setup in great condition? |
DominionMM1
02.26.25 | i use the LAST stylus cleaner and it’s worked fine for me |
Jash
02.26.25 | I love the hands free cleaning of something so delicate, and also the force tracking feature is awesome to make sure your rig is also calibrated, and I’ve used it to help a bunch of friends get their tables dialled in as well. Also I’m not about to do the math, but I assume the very small amounts of distilled water I’m going to use in the machine to clean compared to the price of the cleaner purchases in the long run will be well worth it |
Uzumaki
02.26.25 | @jash you gotta start somewhere, and honestly, once you start cataloguing you’ll find it’s actually kinda fun to do. I honestly look forward to whenever I log in next to add more to my collection |
Uzumaki
02.26.25 | @dominion, added you, bruv |
budgie
02.26.25 | i used that yellow spin clean wet record cleaner and while its a pain in the ass to do it to 200 records it makes a huge fuckin difference. absolute necessity |
Jash
02.26.25 | @jash you gotta start somewhere, and honestly, once you start cataloguing you’ll find it’s actually kinda fun to do. I honestly look forward to whenever I log in next to add more to my collection
Not sure what you mean by this comment, my current catalogue is 450 deep now so I think I’ve started, and I was referring to a stylus cleaning in the previous posts, I also have a solution/wet/dry brush cleaner that I use on my records.
I agree though, the cleaning ritual is soothing and I love it |
nash1311
02.26.25 | Vinyl is a unique medium for me. I mostly purchase specific genres such as indie, jazz, classic rock, etc. I don’t buy too much in the way of low-end reliant stuff like metal unless it’s an all time favorite album of mine. I love to purchase classics |
Uzumaki
02.26.25 | @jash, in regards to starting a Discogs account |
0GuyMan0

I had a nightmare of a time trying to get my account approved for buying and selling. I was so annoyed that eventually I just sold directly. Never bothered to go back and try to figure out what was going wrong. |

I grabbed a couple this last week as well:
Blood Incantation - "Absolute Elsewhere"
Chat Pile - "Cool World"
My Morning Jacket - s/t
The last one there was definitely an impulse buy but it was discounted |

@MTO - Collecting literally led to me updating my living room and dedicating a wall to vinyl lol. IDK if a designer would say it's great or anything but I spent a decent amount of time and effort planning how I'd store them, modding the shelves so that they sit nicely and gon't get pushed too far back (you know the struggle) and also a wall shelving solution for displaying a few as well. I'm happy with how it turned out, and already have different ideas for how I'd do it over lol. |
MTObsidian
03.13.25 | That sounds awesome, my man! I'd like to add some wall display mounts but it would replace some great artwork that my spouse put up that looks really nice in the room. She found this great midcentury modern cabinet at a thrift store that contains everything nicely, so I have a more minimalist approach going on with the turntable on top and all the discs inside. My speaker setup is an old Bose system meant for a computer so the speakers are small but powerful and fit the vibe. I recently added a small easel as a sort of "Now Playing" display and it really ties everything together.
Never thought I'd care about interior decorating but a vinyl hobby pushes a man to strange extremes haha |
0GuyMan0
03.13.25 | I'm literally using my Klipsch receiver and surround sound setup from 2009, so I feel that lol. Ironically the worst part of my setup is the record player itself, feels kinda funny putting a $100+ record on a record player that isn't worth much more but I didn't want to splurge on a nice one until I wrapped my head around this whole thing. |
CugnoBrasso
03.13.25 | I just bought:

03.18.25 | Was flooded with nice gets for the birthday get together this week. My girls hit it out of the park. The VGMs were a huge surprise and instantly some of my favorites in the collection.
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (officially my first jazz album, guess this door is open now oh fuck)
Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All
Stardew Valley (!!!)
Persona 5 |
MTObsidian
03.18.25 | -> Stardew Valley OST
Absolute supreme taste right there. What a find! |
Jash
03.18.25 | Ordered two variants of the new Westside Gunn a week and a bit ago, found a purple pressing of Rat Saw God by Wednesday at my local store and thankfully were able to get them to order the forthcoming Billy Woods for me, makes it almost half the price I would’ve paid through the labels site
Also in the works of making a vinyl collecting/knowledge/tools IG page, will link it here when it goes live for anyone interested |

MTObsidian
03.19.25 | Yeah, Hawks, it's a bummer that vinyls have gotten so expensive. It's hard for a newcomer to build up a collection (unless you like classical--those old discs are so frickin cheap lol) |
0GuyMan0
03.19.25 | No shit. In 2009 I bought first pressings of Queensryche's classic era (EP -> Promised Land) for $7 each at a shop that had truly absurd stuff looking back. It's just a different game now. Retro video game hunting was the same way, could get so much for so cheap fifteen years ago. |
0GuyMan0
03.25.25 | Can't stop won't stop. Several more on pre-order oh boy.
Cradle of Filth - The Screaming of the valkyries
Cradle of Filth - The Manticore and other horrors
Whitechapel - Hymns in Dissonance (replacement for the misprint they shipped me)
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect |
MTObsidian
03.25.25 | That BTBAM album is one of my favorites. I have been meaning to get that one on vinyl but keep forgetting lol.
I'm eyeing "Innate Passage" by Elder right now as my next grab. I've noticed that I keep coming back to that album a lot and really enjoy it, so it might be a good choice for a vinyl copy. It kinda has that vinyl-feel, too, if you get what I mean there: something about the music and the way it's mixed makes me think it would be excellent on a turntable. |
Uzumaki
03.26.25 | I just got an email this morning informing me my copy of the deluxe edition of Ariana Grande’s latest album just shipped and is on its way. |
0GuyMan0
03.26.25 | @MTO
Misdirect has been my go-to if I'm in a btbam mood for much of the last decade, fleeting as those moods are. You get everything they were great at and minimal bloat. |
MTObsidian
03.26.25 | Agreed, it's a great part of their repertoire. That climax towards the end of Fossil Genera gets me pumped every time lol. I cycle through most of their stuff pretty regularly, though there are some that I really don't bother with (s/t, Automata I/II).
Dang it, now you've got me jonesin' to buy Great Misdirect on vinyl... It really is endless haha |
0GuyMan0

Zac124
03.26.25 | Finally found One of Us Is the Killer on vinyl with it being only £10 as well. Cannot wait to get back home from Uni so I can spin it. Also, only need Option Paralysis to 100% their discography on vinyl. |
MTObsidian
03.26.25 | Guy - Lol, see, it is endless!
Faraudo - good finds!
Zac - nice work on almost completing the Dillinger discography. I'm in the same boat with Baroness but I don't think I'll ever find/get First or Second on vinyl. Those EPs don't capture me as much as their later work does.
I'm a hair's breadth away from getting that damn Elder record but I feel like I can't spend more money on vinyls right now |

04.15.25 | Waiting on my two different colour variants of Westside Gunn’s latest, last in store purchase was Wednesday “Rat Saw God”. Heading to the big city (Vancouver) in a few weeks for my birthday, seeing Godspeed and Geordie Greep, as well as hitting up my favourite two vinyl stores (Audiopile and Beat Street), so I’m sure I’ll be hauling some goodies home |
Uzumaki
04.16.25 | “ Anybody get in on RSD? I thought it kinda sucked this time around, which is fantastic because I'm way beyond the days of standing around outside a store lol.”
Just logged all my RSD purchases into Discogs if you wanna see, but I got:
The 2 Shudder to Think releases
It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown
Carcass
Thin Lizzy
Terrorizer
And then I found Marvin Gaye’s “Troubleman”, 1905 and Fates Warning in the used new arrivals bin |
MTObsidian
04.16.25 | I did manage to snag the new Deafheaven, they suddenly restocked on their website while I was looking at buying tickets to the Minneapolis show. Thank God because I wasn't paying $170 for that weird special edition lol
No RSD for me--no stores close enough :( |
0GuyMan0
04.16.25 | I ended up snagging a Deafheaven from Amazon. I'm not crazy about the album, but I like it and don't want to decide later on that I love it and have to run out and pay a premium lol. |
MTObsidian
04.16.25 | Right! That's the game we play with new vinyls now days, eh? Either buy it now when you like it or buy it later for much more when you love it lol.
The worst is when you discover an artist and want to get all of their stuff on vinyl, only to find out that they released a trickle of vinyls like 10 years ago and they're all impossible to find now (looking at you, Riverside and Haken...) |
RVAHC13
04.16.25 | Sold most of my collection during covid (record stores were paying big during the quarantine)
Of the ones I kept:
Robert Fripp and Brian Eno - No Pussyfutting (Signed by Fripp)
Repo Man Soundtrack (OG Pressing)
Mystic Records Nardcore Comp (OG Pressing)
ROIR New York Thrash Comp
All my BYO Split Series Vinyls
Tortoise - TNT |
0GuyMan0
04.16.25 | Yeah being a post metal fan makes for a pretty insufferable experience, as they were essentially metal hipsters and embraced vinyl from the start. So those mid '00s - 2010s can be truly awful to get hold of. So glad I was obsessed with and jumped on Rosetta's first three releases because oof. |
MTObsidian
04.17.25 | I got lucky with finding a reasonably priced Isis's "Wavering Radiant" back in the day, but then I paid out the nose for a copy of "In The Absence Of Truth" more recently. I don't think I can fork out the money for rare stuff like that anymore, unless it's something truly special. |
0GuyMan0
04.17.25 | I just saw ITAOT in a shop here for $70. I didn't feel like pulling out discogs to run down which version it was and if it was worth it, but most of their prices seemed high so I erred on the side of caution for once and let it go lol. |
Above
04.17.25 | I picked up the Talking Heads live album and the Jazz Dispensary comp for RSD. Ordered them online since my local store had an insane line this year. Cool to see that the demand is there, though. |
MTObsidian
04.17.25 | "I just saw ITAOT in a shop here for $70."
Exactly what I paid for my copy from Discogs lol. Ouch! But worth it--I love that album. |
0GuyMan0
04.18.25 | @Above
I considered going out the day after to see if the Judas Priest live album was floating around somewhere, but decided against it. I did end up ordering The Eternal Idol online, even knowing I'd probably see it in shops for the next year or two. I see the Tony Martin era albums all over the place now, guessing despite all the years of hoping for presses us Tony fans didn't exactly rush out and gobble them up.
Well. I did, at least lol. I also pre-ordered the Elden Ring collection, which $$$$fuck but I couldn't pass it up. |
0GuyMan0
04.18.25 | @MTO fuck I probably should have just jumped on it. It was white, looks like there's a couple of those but it might have been a decent price. It would have been the most expensive Isis I've picked up, and that didn't sit well with me as likely to be accurate as I miraculously found a copy of oceanic out in the wild once and it was only $50. |
MTObsidian
04.18.25 | @Guy that's totally fair--once you start hitting that $50+ price point, it makes your stomach churn a bit. If it was white though, I think that one's more rare and might have been worth more; mine is just standard black. |
MTObsidian
04.18.25 | Oh, on another note: I finally had time to sit down and spin my copy of Chat Pile's "Cool World" all the way through. Man, that album is spectacular--sounds even better on vinyl. The grittiness of their sound really comes through in a heavy, great way. |
0GuyMan0
04.18.25 | fuck. maybe I make a trip over there soon lol. |

MTObsidian
05.01.25 | Went on a drive the other day and picked up the Cowboy Bebop OST, I had been eyeing that one for a long time but never pulled the trigger until I physically saw it in a store. I also got some Japanese whisky while I was out and about so one of these nights I'm gonna pair the two together! |
s0nicx
05.01.25 | Nice, I got both of Cowboy Bebop OSTs this past summer. Waiting on two variants of Oh What the Future Holds right now. |
0GuyMan0
05.02.25 | I've held that one in my hands a couple times and decided against it. Now that the jazz door has been flung open I will basically never enter a record store again without spending money lol. Don't need the anime door open too.
Almost spent $300 on that Metallica - Load collector's thingy, but then I remembered I already have a first press and what purpose would it serve, so I canceled my order.
Had a record show across the river from STL last weekend and almost left without spending, but stopped at the guy right by the door and noticed a copy of Queensryche - The Warning that was still in shrink and had a hype sticker on it, marked as first press. Could hardly believe what I might be holding. Chatted with the guy for a minute about how he got it and he name-dropped DeGarmo and Rockenfield so I decided the $70 was worth it. Nobody else in my life would understand why that thing might be special to me, but for me it's as close as I could ever get to being there in the beginning for my favorite all-time band.
I think my copy of Alive or Just Breathing is being delivered today, finally. So stoked.
Recent pickups:
Underoath - they're only chasing safety
Rosetta - The Anaesthete

Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power

Kinda like some people and tattoos: the first ones have all the special meanings and before too long it's like, "Say, it's a Tuesday, I could go for a new one today."
Still gotta update my Discogs, I keep forgetting and also buying more records... |

05.06.25 | Got you guys added to the list - Tim hook it up with the discogs and I'll change the link lol.

Honestly I've always said that, at least with Silver Side Up, they were basically a modern version of Def Leppard in the Hysteria era, which is to say quite good for what it is. I'd probably snag one if I found it on the cheap. Still say "Too Bad" is a ripper.
>zakalwe
Yeah I've gone absolutely berserk with this shit in the last few months. Today I see that Hybrid Theory is on sale for $15 through Amazon and I adore that album but I'm wavering on it. I've slowed up a bit because I want to upgrade my turntable and would rather snag a good one than do it incrementally. Not sure which yet...I know I'd like one that is fully automatic because I have shaky hands and worry so much about gently placing the needle lol, but there aren't many options for that. So was looking at the Fluence RT85 as a possibility. Maybe $500-600 range. If y'all have some rec's I'd appreciate it! |

Haha, i've always been of the belief that most of the time albums sound better on vinyl than anywhere else, plus i've always liked having physical albums anyway regardless, CD or vinyl or cassette or whatever, and to me a good album is a good album no matter what other people think of it. Also I grew up with Nickelback so I have a bit of nostalgia for that album and Dark Horse especially : ) |

"to me a good album is a good album no matter what other people think of it."
Amen to both of those statements right there! Finally figuring these out after spending too long being a snob has made music so much more enjoyable, although my wallet definitely hurts a little more these days lol |

05.06.25 | Was thinking if the rest of my shift today goes nicely I’m gonna treat myself and go shopping tomorrow |

05.07.25 | Hell yeah Uzu, keep us updated on what you find for yourself! |

05.09.25 | Death - Symbolic
Finally on my shelf, and that's a completed studio album catalog. Not that it's difficult to find death records lol.
Kinda got me thinking about how many obscure / extreme albums are commonplace to find in vinyl now. Like if you sort by metal on fuckin' amazon you're gonna see the unholy trilogy of darkthrone albums very quickly, which I find hilarious and have to wonder how Fenriz feels about that lol. |

05.10.25 | Aight boys and girls, spent a little too much but fuck it, I’m happy. Honorable mention goes to the copy of Chiodos’ “All’s Well That Ends Well” that I had to leave behind because that would’ve put me above $200, but here we go, and mind, I found all of these in the “used” section - no new vinyl purchases here:
Letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful
Racebannon - First There Was the Emptiness
Since By Man - Pictures From the Hotel Apocalypse

05.14.25 | I have now officially purchased an album with the sole intention of flipping it, which I'd have taken an ethical stand against previously. But I just hate Sleep Token that much that I'd make an exception lol. Realized their fans behave like TSwift and Eilish fans and took a flier on the Glass of Port press Revolver had pre orders for a few months back. It's selling for $300+ so I'm feeling good about it lol. |
MTObsidian
05.14.25 | I mean, I'm a-okay with you swindling some rabid fans if it's Sleep Token lol |

05.19.25 | Managed to snag a copy of Blood Incantation - Starspawn this weekend, stoked on it.
Been slowly working through my collection with the ultrasonic. And I mean SLOWLY. IDK why I had to adopt the most involved process ever for this but it certainly is cleaning them lmao. |

05.28.25 | Y'all got any good jazz recs that don't cost a ton? You know the kind, the ones you'll see for $10 in the jazz section that will never sell lol.
Think I need to make a move on Herbie Hancock soon, I dig a lot of his stuff. |
Josh D.
05.28.25 | Heh, I waited until I could find Herbie's Head Hunters in stores to justify spending the money.
One of my favorite jazz musicians, and his stuff is usually well priced, is Phineas Newborn Jr. The Stan Getz and Raul de Souza albums I have were cheap. Jazz is so broad, it's a good genre to play "if it has a cool cover, snag it" with |

Honestly my ears are so new to it that distinguishing great from good / ok is a laughable concept, so that may be the way to go for a while. |

11.07.25 | Added you botb. I got my ultrasonic out to clean the new records and the water isn't draining from it. Pretty frustrating when it cost over $500. Hopefully there's a good explanation, I was just too annoyed to deal with it last night. |
