Definitely, the secret to having a big, impressive record collection is not selling it off in the 90s to buy Cds. Some nice rooms there. I do worry about flooding basements though (and that's where I have my collection). The guy across the road from me lost his collection in a basement flood, just before I moved into the neighborhood. It's the scourge of the record collector.

[@TorontoJon]

Yes, basement flooding is a nightmare for any record or vintage electronics collector (or to any collector that uses a basement to display his or her items). One thing I can suggest is to keep the most valuable or treasured records at least a foot above the ground, so place them on higher shelves and if necessary, put the dollar bargain records on the ground shelves to reduce the potential losses in the event of a flood. Another suggestion I have is on Amazon one can buy (just as I have) an inexpensive water leak detector that runs on batteries (like a smoke detector) and you place it near your water heater (the mostly like thing to leak in a basement other than a washing machine or external flooding), so if any water leaks, it will run underneath the detector which immediately sets off an alarm sound. If at home, that might buy you some time to call a plumber or water heater specialist, to shut off the water supply yourself, or to clear out part of your collection until help arrives.

Man I wish I had pictures of my grandfather's vinyl collection, his stereo setup, reel to reel collection and all of the other music related items...he was truly the inspiration for my love of music and the arts... when my grandfather passed away he donated his entire collection to Stanford University, were he went to college and received his doctorate in education...the estimated value of his collection and equipment was something around a million dollars...the vinyl count was around 8k albums from the 40's all the way to early 90's, everything from jazz, blues, rock, some old school country, really a diverse range of albums...some epic memories were had sitting on the floor and listening to music... I hope to recreate my own version of his collection in the near future...

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

WOW didn't realize there were so many people around the world that collect music. And everyone's music rooms are a dream come true. Would definitely love to see more videos like this thankyou.

[@trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl9803]

I’m thoroughly jealous of these rooms. I share my music space in my wife’s office. So, I’m relegated to a single wall. I had to choose between my vinyl collection or my CD collection to keep in there. Obviously, I went with the vinyl. Boxed all of my CDs and put them in the attic. It’s a small space. But, I make due.

[@LutherusPandragon]

Thanks for having me Frank. Half of my setup changed already since we spoke last time

[@grahambiggs9822]

Great to have vinyl dens back Frank - some of those rooms are just phenomenal -thanks for sharing - I never grow tired of seeing them !!

[@joekoesters3463]

Love to see the different set ups and how people display their passions. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy.

[@moonytheloony6516]

If you were a teen for most of the 80's like I was, few things were cooler than having a friend who lived in a house with a "finished" basement. That's what we called them in Chicago and they generally looked the same...wood paneling on the walls, drop ceiling, some furniture, glass block windows, and a HiFi system. If there happened to be a TV, VCR & an Atari or ColecoVision, or a pool table, or a fireplace as well, then so much the better. The more stuff meant the longer you stayed. All ya needed was a pizza to complete the picture. On a winter 🥶 day a finished basement was the perfect place to be on a Friday night or Saturday unless you were at the mall or the roller rink, but I digress. A cool basement was its own huge world, and the answer is yes, if I had a basement, there would be wood paneling and old furniture down there... but that's just me.

[@retromusings]

Fantastic to see how passionate people are about vinyl. Their vinyl dens are inspiring. Thanks for doing these videos. They're great.

[@tomfurgas2844]

OMG!!! Ethan has the exact same make and model (Panasonic) 8-track player that I do! I bought mine in the 1970's at KMart. Whoo-hoo! Terry's homemade cabinets really rock, in all senses of the word. GREAT segment, Frank! Vinyl Dens are one of my favorite parts of Channel 33.

[@gopalakrishnasrinivasan1162]

Cheers from Mumbai, India. Very sumptuous video showcasing some awsome pictures of vinyl collectors. I just resumed the vinyl journey after two decades of dormancy spread across Indian music including Hindustani, Carnatic, Ghazals, Indian folk music and of course Bollywood. Going across to the western side, its classical music of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach and many others, Pop music, jazz and a few of the music from other parts of the world such as Japanese flute and folk music from Africa. I discovered that I do have quite a few albums of Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Pat Boone, Elvis and Nat King Cole (among others). Nat King Cole singing the tracks of the movie My Fair Lady is a MUST listen ! Need to acquire Chuck Berry (whose music I simply adore) and of course Ray Charles. With a large collection of books (I am a mathematician) in a room which is simultaneously a study room cum music room, CDs, Vinyl and Books are arranged along with mechanical clocks punctuating time with its musical strokes. Walls decorated with some posters of Tycho Brahe's Uraniborg. The set up isn't quite complete and need to custom make a wooden cabinet for vinyls with glass doors since tropical countries have to cope with problem of dust more rigorously. Thanks for putting up this video. I am sharing the links with many of my students. I do enjoy watching your channel.

[@TorontoJon]

Wow, lots of great music rooms in this video, Frank. They're all very unique and definitely very inspiring. Keep on spinning! :)

[@dcarbs2979]

Always one of my favourite episodes.

[@glennbarret-jy5ut]

I was a bit too young for vinyl, but did grow up buying and collecting CD’s. I was one of those people who got rid of their collection when everything moved online. A waste of an amazing collection and my time. Back on track with my vinyl collection. Cool rooms. My system and collection is just part of my living room. I’m jealous

[@Rock-Pirate]

I switched from cassette to cd in the mid 80's. I also love my basement studio! Thanks Frank! 😎☠️🏴‍☠️

[@MrJDNJ]

Nice show of rooms. It highlights that I need to get my place cleaned up so I can have better access to my records on a regular basis. I feel like I've been neglecting them and it's time to dive back in the groove.

[@sandysmith9869]

I move my wife's stuff into storage, or under the trailer so I can make room for my records, receiver, record players, music related VHS tapes, cassettes, etc etc. She's so understanding. 👍😊

[@jwwj30]

My favorites were Albert’s (especially the Stones section & all the sports memorabilia scattered around the room with his music) and Darren’s basement. Living in California, no one has basements out here, but I sure wish I did. Darren’s listening/party room is fantastic. Thank you for this excellent video & giving me so ideas on how to rearrange my office.

[@albertmorales6342]

Thank you! @jwwj !! My Stones collection/shrine has grown quite a bit since I sent the pics in before Christmas.

[@bluegrassangie887]

Love seeing the Ralph Stanley album!

[@memal25]

I love seeing how other people enjoy music as much as I do and are ready to go above and beyond to create a space to enjoy and experience music. Those home made record bins are great too. I went with Kallax shelves for my burgeoning collection, but wish sometimes I could flip through them. When it's bigger I'll have to get one or two for a "Currently Listening To" group

[@philsavory4728]

Love this segment

[@georgeh.5480]

I really enjoyed that episode! it's so cool to see what people have setup as their music listening areas! everyone who submitted pictures and descriptions of their collections, should be very proud!

[@mrhoffame]

Another awesome Den share my friend. One really cool thing I noticed was the drum being used as a lamp shade on the 2nd den lol. Great idea!! Keep'em coming Frank!!!

[@frederikjacob1985]

As a regularly vieuwer I really find the need to get building my music room... But father in law needs to move first to finish this room. Looking forward to do that! Anyways the Sonus Faber/McIntosh setup is absolutely killer! As I'm an audiophile myself that Mac is my dream amp. The other rooms are very cool also! Thanks for sharing this Frank! Looking forward to get my future room rated by you! Cheers from Belgium!

[@bobby666666]

Great video. I shall share with my friend as it may give him some ideas. I bought another reissue last week on vinyl. I already have most of it on the CD reissue. Playing the vinyl was so much fun. It's not about holding and touching the vinyl, but the sound for me.

[@debbieverret4033]

Glad these are back

[@mabuie]

New sub! I started collecting records around 9 years old in 1982. As everyone else did, I started buying CDs in the 90s. I got back in to the records about 3 years ago. Luckily I still have my cds. They are still in storage bins but I will bring them back out soon.

[@primeanalogrecords]

Great video Frank! It’s certainly cool seeing other people’s systems! Mine is all Vintage and I love it! I’ve got a Technics SL1600MKII and a Yamaha PX-3 and Klipsch Cornwalls! Blows you out of the room at 1/4 volume 😂

[@mdit21]

One thing I'll never do is ditch my 33s, 45s, and CDs in favor of streaming.

[@marcelmischeaux2099]

This is a warning for anyone living in California who is a collector of vinyl and CDs like myself. #1. Never stack and storage your collection all the way up to the ceiling.❤

[@cibbis]

Always fun to see other peoples setups, every time it gives me ideas on how I can change my area

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

The 90's was a great time to buy records cheap like I did. I was at my used record store weekly for years. Spending about $3 per album .

[@JasonJames72]

Awesome thanx to all the amazing rooms. I'm seriously thinking of submitting mine...

[@big_burly_bro]

Amazing music rooms!!

[@bornces]

Love these...Keep it up!

[@analoguecity3454]

Finishing up watching a few days later! What can I say? I've been busy! Records are a "hi definition " media, that's a FACT and has been proven over and over! That's the "different" sound or "warmth" (part of it anyway) people talking about! I don't have a problem with CDs because I still play and buy em,😊but they don't have that kind of fidelity!

[@davedavenport8176]

Those all look amazing and yea I was drawling I’ve the Mac in my dreams 😊 Great play and happy Sunday

[@jasonturg2053]

[@Acmallsb40]

As someone who has only gotten into more seriously collecting records in the past 2 years, it's very cool to see some setups to aspire towards!

[@u2acrobata]

i always get a bi jealous of most fo these rooms ... cause i collect vinyl for some time ... (even before this "crazy" vinyl comeback) ... i stopped buying cds and re-begun buying vinyl ... when i realised in early 2000's that i was listening more MP3 music than my cds ... so i started to buy vinyl for collecting and listen and listening mostely Mp3 ... eheheh ... but like i was saying i get a bit JEALOUS for this "music" rooms ... cause i dont have a dedicated room for it ... i listen the music in my living room ... and my collection is divided through my house ... so lucky you guys ... GRRRrrrrrr .... lol ... i really enjoy see it ... and i get so msny times inspired in some storage solutions .. great! Greetings from PORTUGAL Filipe

[@rharris0820rh]

I've offed and rebuilt a couple of collections. The CDs are gone for good, less a small box containing my original collection from the 90's. I purged a collection of pop and house records, then began a new collection of various genres that I add to every few weeks. It's hard to justify buying vinyl, considering the state of the world and the value of money. Moved on to collecting boutique synthesizers. It has become imperative that I sample some amount of vinyl in my arrangements, but usually routed through some sound processing effect. Our current home accommodates the best music room I've had to date.

[@jodywoodruff6473]

Lots of awesome rooms. I'm going to start a room sometime soon ☺️👍

[@Venus_Isle]

Can't wait for the next instalment...keep them pics coming' Frank...😊

Wow! Those rooms were awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. I wish I had a room, but alas, I have collectibles, records, movies and comic books spread out through the house. One day…

[@9thcircle73]

Love Vinyl Dens! Always cool to see what various people's collections look like. Also love the Blood Ceremony Lord of Misrule lp in the background. A great band that I believe is no more. Keep up the good work!

[@Moviefan-s8f]

I gave up on cds too. When I used to collect them, I lived with my parents and had lots of room. now I live in a very little apartment. I don't have room for cds anymore. So I went digital downloads.

[@andyshacks7812]

Hi Frank. I love those listening rooms. I currently have my two Technics SL1210s in my living room connected to an ageing (but I love it ) Technics SU-VX500 amp and a pair of Linn tower speakers. My collection is upstairs in the spare bedroom. I dream that one day I’ll have them all in the same space.

[@Bootradr]

I'm glad you are feeling better and I hope your wife is soon too! Haha, I've never been able to get into Bruce Springsteen. I know tons of people and even tons of friends have but it just hasn't ever snagged me personally. I'd love to find that Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponies LP myself. I've heard so much about her early band through the years. It sounds like that copy you got was right after the early members of the Eagles left to form that band? I've never gotten any of her Stone Ponies releases but it's primarily because I haven't seen any of them. I'd definitely love to check out her early work. Brian in Fort Worth, 🎶

[@perfectstack-music]

Thanks for the inclusion Frank :)

[@codyjohnson9752]

I hate that argument that goes, which would you rather have, a massive collection you never listen to, or a few that you listen to a lot. How about this: I have a lot of records and albums, some of which I listen to a lot, and some of which I don't. Not sure why it always has to be so black and white. Just because someone has a massive collection, it doesn't mean they never listen to any of them. For me, if you only have a couple hundred, there are so many great albums you're missing out on.

[@OceanSoul1969]

I’m kicking myself for getting rid of some of my records, but not the CDs

[@justinmelanson5843]

I think that today's music rooms are better than having your listening and collection space in your bedroom like I do because you can buy and store more things in a music room than you can in a small shelf in your bedroom

[@flouisbailey]

Careful about calling that first guy a “Big Time Rush” fan. 😂 I doubt he’s a big fan of the Nickelodeon boy band from 2009! 😂 (For those who don’t know and don’t feel like looking it up, Nickelodeon had a show that ran from 2009 to 2013 called “Big Time Rush,” about a boy band of the same name. Although, the band continued on past the show, performing and recording until 2014, then reforming in 2021.)

Great episode, just wondering. You are not the only person who does this. You referred to a person from St Catherines Ontario Canada. Yet another person is from Austin Texas. Why not Just St Catherines Ontario. This is not meant as a criticism, I’m just curious.

[@Channel33RPM]

Was purely off the cuff/improvised. That said, it kinda makes sense... approx. 90% of viewers of the channel are from outside Canada, and would not know St. Catherines, Ont. is in Canada, if I didn't mention it.

1- Was watching this video and it was reported by KZbin as taken off by its up loader which it's a strange thing of and by itself for your 33 1/3 spinning channel from Canada wasn't known for doing that , but who knows now with ''Castro's offspring'' in charge very weird things in social media and otherwise SEEm to be happening, indeed. 2- But what a disappointment this was,. Got as far as watching Julianne and Ethan ,who got into it recently, and Tony and the Cuban who is from Alberta, or is he Al, 58 years old , or there about 9 months ago (at the time this comment is being written ) with his set up , guitars, number 13 Dan Marino and CR7 posters (LIONel Messi being the GOAT though; and now playing for a Miami team to boot , pun intended of course) and his ''criminally undercharged'' record players (your words though, since jealousy is a bad thing but fakenews is worse. Just kidding, and no pun intended too) whom for sure soon , Al the Cuban that is, as it gets too cold above the Florida-Georgia line he'll be Cummings to Florida , like everyone else ; you too old basement dweller of a goat, since after all is said and done those dark basements , filled with records or not, Aelways end up flooding Canada included Two. 3- Say hello to my cousins in Alberta, and have yourself and yours a Happy New Year 2024, God willing and the elites heeding to His will , FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, believe you me...Shema!!!.

How could someone get rid of whatever format they’ve spent years and money on just because it’s out of favor. I’ve been collecting cassettes, records, CDs, VHS, DVDs, Blu-ray, Laser Discs, books, magazines, posters, and memorabilia since my early teens (mid 80s). I know what your saying tough. I have a couple of these sellout friends who have all their CDs and records in their garage. I tell them straight to their face that it’s a disgrace and Im there to save themselves from themselves by saying this. They won’t listen tough they have the minimalist mindset. Same people who think someone at a red light think their cool because they drive a stupid ass Tesla.
