What’s playing on your turntable…. Does anyone care?

I definitely care. I find it a great source of new (to me) music. Yes I am into the equipment part of this hobby just like everyone else. But the real reason I spent all that money is for the music. 

I don't have an issue with the sharing per se, its just that I see very little value in it when tunes/albums listed are common/million selling albums that everyone already knows about. Why should I care about what your listening to. On the other hand, listing less known music provides a service. 

When I'm moved by an lp thats not very common I'll usually post for 2 reasons -

1- to hopefully turn someone onto something they're not familiar with

Or 2- to remind someone that has the lp to pull it out and give a spin.

I for one am always looking for new music and/or a reminder to spin something I already have. Also to understand the tastes in music of the regulars. I like alot of the same things as Slaw for one

Well Temper TT + Pro-ject phono box + Marantz PM6005 int amp.

For the same reason as many on this tread I check it out to find new music that may be of interest. As for critiquing (which I have been doing as a reviewer for 25 years) I don’t offer that here. If it is not of value to me I simply move on. The same choice we all have.
