Lucky you! You get to begin a fantastic voyage. When I started out I was a teenager too. My advice is to go to your local indoor flea markets, outdoor flea markets, thrift stores such as goodwill, and small town antique stores. Explore places where records are not the main draw for business. At your age I had amassed quite a collection I had better records than most of the adult audiophiles. It will take time and patience. Also don't pass up an imperfect copy of something, you can always replaceit later. Right now records are glutting many of these stores. I recently picked up the first two Jimmy Hendrix records in fantastic condition for ten bucks each. Some time back got a mint English copy of Pink Floyds Nice Pair for 15 bucks. These came from a local indoor flea market. Happy hunting!!
Starting out- a Beatles question
I starting to piece together a budget system, and I really wanted a turn table to be a part of it. In my head I thought it'd be no problem at all to get any Beatles or Pink Floyd album with no issues. When I look on Amazon or Music Direct, looks like only Abbey Road and Dark Side are readily available new. Should I be looking elsewhere?
Is it the case that if you want classic rock type material, you're typically going to have to find them used?
I also listen to a lot of Radiohead and new indie groups, and it seems like getting those albums on vinyl is no problem.
My proposed system so far: My current MMGs, a Clearaudio Concept table, an NAD PP3i preamp, and a TBD amp (solid or tube, under $2500).
Thanks.
