Your humility is so refreshing! There are snob in all of my interests . . . vintage audio, bikes, photography, etc. Love your channel!

[@TheRecordSpinner]

For me I started collecting because of Jack White and his label Third Man. I always associated him with the vinyl format and initially I was going to get all of the Jack White related stuff on vinyl for the sake of having it. Then it turned into getting all of the KISS records (my favorite band) and then it just grew to be anything that I liked. Over time, I started getting different mixes, bootlegs, box sets and it grew from there. Now my main thing is absorbing myself in new music and newer artists since there are so many artists out there in the world. Great video Dillion, cheers and stay safe.

[@l.t.w8985]

I am so glad you brought up feeling embarrassed about what you had for stereo equipment. I'm in that category but that's because I don't have money and also I do not want to give up my 1993 Panasonic all-in-one AM FM stereo with built-in control amplifier, record player, and double cassette deck. It still works to this day. Last year I got a new stylus which was extremely hard to find. It took me getting it from Canada because it was so out of date. The needle was $13 and that's all I could afford. Plus, in my apartment I dont have space so I can't do anything but what I have. Thank you for this video. Very helpful and I'll have more comments in a minute when I finish it.

[@jody8526937]

LT. dude rock the f on with your setup. Check thrift shops and flea markets, garage sales you will find amps and receivers. Just keep digging you will be surprised. But keep on rocking with your all in one.

If you’re happy with it, it’s good enough!

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

There's a lot more to equipment - beginners should read as much as they can, there's a lot out there. Many other turntables, many cartridges, better understanding about how vinyl records, preamps, amps, and speakers work, along with what the RIAA curve is and how it is implemented. I would recommend the AudioKarma forums it you want to learn and ask questions. As for record organization, I have a lot of sections Dillon doesn't have. Of course, the 3500 classical records organized by composer, but also Indian classical music, English-Irish-Scottish folk, American folk and roots music, and reggae and dub, At my old apartment, I had separated classic rock, post-classic rock, and avant-garde rock, but I always had trouble finding particular records, so when I moved I did a giant merge. I still have trouble finding classical records with multiple composers - where did I file that?

[@SturleyArt]

Thanks for sharing this. Lots of great info to build a collection off of.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@pepito2368]

Great video! And thank you because I only just started collecting vinyl a few months back and am still to buy my first turntable and had been thinking of getting the Audio Technica LP-120 and then you recommended it so voila! I'm excited where this vinyl hunting journey will lead me as my dad has so many great records that I grew up on and I just want some of that nostalgia back.

[@cesarcamposmartinez]

These are really great statements and tips! Thank you for the clarity on explaining; very straight forward. I remember some of your videos popping up on the KZbin suggestions and watching them, but casual view only. I just subscribed to this channel... loving the content! Upgrading to a Clearaudio has been on my wantlist, but now is on top of it! Yours looks amazing... actually your whole setup looks great! Congratulations! But that Reel to Reel!! Dude!! I would just love to have a similar piece of equipment that works well. I will continue in the search. Thanks for sharing all this information! Cheers!

[@ericpluard819]

is it safe/smart to let your records lean on each other like that? i always try and keep mine completely vertical. if you got over 100 records, that's a lot of weight on those 1st ones.

[@keithvincenttucker9923]

I started collecting about 12-15 years ago, mostly by accident. I was at a garage sale and they had a box of records for $1 each. Normally I pass them by, because everyone I knew with records, was my dad's age, or older, and all their records were old country, classical, or Christmas music. Guys my age, mostly, started getting music on cassette. This box, however, had Alice Cooper right out front, so I started flipping through it. There were about 25 classic rock albums and about 25 of the ones I would have expected. I offered them $20 for the whole bunch. I kept the classic rock and gave the rest to my dad. After that, I kept picking up any that I could find for similar prices at garage sale. I didn't even have a turntable, but I kept telling myself I was going to get one. About a year later, I ran into the record snobs. I found a nice looking Pioneer in the local classifieds. Before I went out and bought it, I joined a record collecting forum, and asked if a Pioneer was a good turntable to start out with. I just got a bunch of replies telling me, "only if you don't care about your records". Then they started recommending turntables that started at $2500. I gave up getting a turntable for quite a while, but I kept collecting, any time I saw them cheap at garage sales. Last year, I finally picked up a vintage Denon, and I am finally listening to my records. I've finally started going to record shops and have picked up a few new reissues.

[@12inchRules]

A tip I always give: accept you can’t own everything and probably never will. Cherish what you own.

[@noblerecords]

Very good advice! Not to mention, if you owned everything that would take a lot of the fun out of it 🤣

[@12inchRules]

Noble Records Haha indeed. It’s a collection that can suck up a lot of cash, there is always the next record you need. My Discogs want list is still 1800 items long and growing. And I know there is some stuff on it I will never be able to purchase. But it’s ok, still keeping an eye out though 😁

[@sawderf741]

​@@12inchRulesi really want Joose on CD, but I know I'll never actually own.

[@garykuhlmann8149]

I think of collecting as organic, that is, my collection grows from the music I'm interested in. I don't buy records based on somebody's list or because of its reputation. And I don't buy records because they're rare or on a special colored vinyl and so on--I grew up when buying an album was just to have a copy of the music, and I feel that's what it should remain. I love the LP format, but at bottom, it's about the music--if that means, for example, that a new release that I love and must have is only available on CD, so be it. If that means buying an inexpensive LP reprint of, say, a coveted Blue Note release, so be it. I wouldn't have much of what I own if I held out for originals of everything I wanted to listen to. In some sense, life is too short to be too serious about collecting albums. Buy the music, enjoy the music!

[@sebastiencrusener4968]

You've said it all in the first line Sir, that's the only good way to collect records. Buy records that YOU like, don't let others (snobs and geaks)tell you what to buy, it's your journey. If you stick to that you'll eventually find your way: the right records, shops to get them, the good websites etc. Happy collecting Sir!

This is one of the best videos I've seen for beginning collectors or even any collector really. Some amazing advice and no shaming. I've been collecting for a little bit and I definitely enjoy watching videos in the vinyl community to discover new/old albums. Great content, always stay humble and kind is advice that never goes out of style.

[@jakemcinturff7298]

Dude you are awesome. I started collecting like 3 years ago when I was 16, and the community I encountered when trying to get into the hobby, was one of the worst I had ever seen. Everybody looked down upon me, and I literally felt ashamed going into record shops since I was young, and the owners would treat me like I was dumb. I got through it and am relatively experience now, but it was tough trying to learn what to do when every other video was some old man saying you need to spend 8,000 to get a decent turntable and you have to clean your records with the tears of angels or you’ll ruin them. I love your attitude and videos, keep inspiring young collectors like me to get into record collecting

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man that means a lot! I know I’m still dumb in a lot of areas, it’s foolish for people to act like they know it all. It’s a lot more Fun to be nice. Thanks for watching!

[@logosrising4784]

Well, actually Angel tears… You made me literally laugh out loud regarding records being cleaned with angel tears. Cheers! 🤣🤣🤣

[@trevortheclever2738]

4:50 you just described my life. I have absolutely no one in my life to talk to records/music about. That's why I started my channel. I wanna talk about stuff and absolutely nobody cares about my passion lol... it is a little frustrating.

[@noblerecords]

I care. I’m here for you 🤣

[@joemartucci4786]

I care also. I lucked out though I have a wonderful beautiful wife that I can talk to about it she actually loves most of the stuff I do like even odd stuff like Return to Forever etc. She also shares my passion for a lot of 60s music like bubble gum music etc. She is confused though on why I have 6 different versions of Sgt.Peppers & Yesterday & Today lol. But when buying for me for Xmas etc she does go out of her way to find a colored vinyl copy of something I love. Love this channel

[@agitation-free]

In a earlier video you mentioned that you started out by listening to a list of 1000 essential albums. Based on that tip, I set a goal to listen to at least 1000 albums a year and a few hundred albums in, it has already totally changed my entire outlook on vinyl and music as a whole. Just listening to a lot of different stuff has been the most important step for me to get deeper into music and collecting :)

[@noblerecords]

Man! So glad to hear!

[@mrhoffame]

So one year now....how are you doing?

[@agitation-free]

@@mrhoffame made it to 1000 last year, a great personal achievement for me during the pandemic! 😄 it was mostly psych so I may do it again in the future and focus on a different genre I think it is a great exercise for people who love music but find themselves listening to the same stuff over and over. I wouldn't recommend 1000 in a year lightly though to someone who is where I was at the onset. It will make music a lifestyle and you have an endless vinyl waitlist at the end lol Through it I fell in love with some styles I had completely written off before and discovered music is truly endless. I also developed a feeling of kinship/connection with serious collectors and people in the VC like yourself and Dylan rather than just feeling like a jealous observer 😄✌

[@bobbipasternak5585]

I love your attitude and advice! I acquired my first 45s when I was a toddler, and I still have them. I vaguely remember my first record player. I stuck the 45 into a slot and it played. By the time I got my first LP (the soundtrack to "A Hard Day's Night"), I was about 10 and had a Decca suitcase record player. I bought my first component stereo system in 1977. My turntable, a Yamaha YP-211, is still in use. My best record store find was Dave. We met in 1980 and have been married since 1982. Thankfully, we used (and still use) the same record organization system. One of our friends said she knew we's last when we combined the record collections.

[@BigRedSpear]

Dude...I dig your style. Snobs are such a drag when you're trying to get into something and asking questions. These are great tips.

[@sandyfader4649]

“Stay humble “...... enough said my friend.

[@biffboffo]

When I was starting out, I wish I could’ve streamed before I bought. The 80s had some cheap vinyl, but it was also the Dark Ages.

[@elmhurst86]

I love listening to records on a manual turntable because of how they force me to sit and actually listen to the music from beginning to end. I tend to put digital music on and have it in the background while I do other things.

[@jody8526937]

I started by buying a Bill Withers record.. Then I needed a turntable and an amplifier/receiver so I could listen to the records I purchased. It's really quite simple. Don't buy a book on collecting buy a book or magazine about artist you like. There is no such thing as records you should have or need in your collection. Buy what you like. It's your collection. If you are trying to impress your friends or guys in the dorm then ok, buy stuff "experts" recommend. If you are buying for investment reasons, I don't know what to tell you. But I will say after collecting more than 6,000+ lps and 1000's of 45 along with 3,000+ cd's and about 2,000 music video's, my layman recommendation is collect what YOU like. I realized a long time ago, I never met an "expert" when it comes to my collection. After all these years I still have people and friends with NO collection telling me what to listen to or what I need or must have in MY collection. (heck, I don't have enough time left in my life to re-listen to everything in my vast, awesome, collection, not to mention all the things i am still discovering on my own) You will grow into other genres as you get older (i hope) but i repeat, buy what you like and go from there. Ohh.. and ignore all the people who tell you how bad your taste are or what a waste of time and money your collection is. oohh... and many things you don't like if you come back to it after a while, you will find that your taste have matured or changed and now it's something your find appealing. Good luck..

i started collecting records since 1975 and never stopped

[@borond]

i bought a beatles record on a second-hand online clothing website for around seven dollars (so definitely not a professional find, since i have close to no knowledge about this field ^^), it arrived today, and since the moment i held the solid disk in my hands (strictly only the edges and the middle part dw) i've been captivated by how REAL music can be. as a 16yo who only ever listens to music on a computer/headphones, even just being able to HOLD music and imagine what it could sound like flabbergasted me honestly. once again i managed to find a really expensive hobby which i don't have the financial situation for, but this time it really seems like a journey that i'm willing to wait for its milestones. at last, you really are such a joy to listen to, i can feel the love for your records and the will to give as much advice as you can through the digital screen. thank you for giving me an amazing first impression of this community, sir!!

[@sixfourrecords]

One thing I will add is be aware of the condition of the records you are buying. When I first started buying, I was clueless about how to interpret the condition of the vinyl itself. I also settled for a lot of really bad beater copies of records I didn't know I could easily find. Don't settle for poor condition records unless it's something really rare. I've got a lot of albums I wish I hadn't bought because they sound terrible but I didn't know what I was doing then.

[@Theomite]

I was lucky that the beaters I bought before I wised up were comedy albums that weren't worth much to begin with. By the time the expensive stuff showed up, I knew better.

[@jungle-wav1322]

I’ve been collecting for 5 years, since I was 15. The only way to start a collection is to start. Buy whatever turntable you can afford (I’d recommend the at-lp 60), hook it up to whatever speakers you have or can afford and then buy your favourite album of all time to start. Go to thrift stores to buy records you would never know about. Eventually you’ll gain some experience and you’ll have a great time in the record store. As you go on you’ll upgrade audio equipment from your pre amps, amps, receivers, needles and turntables. Just have fun and buy what you like. I’d rather have 5 albums that I love than 1000 copies of herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass

[@philipfranklin3958]

the Teac lpr660, which has a CD recorder and room to upgrade stylus like to an lp Gear blue cerapreme, for example is a decent sounding system and perfect for limited room space; yes its an all in one but its certainly no Crosley. And Teac is a reputable high end brand.

[@daliavg1]

I collect for the nostalgia, I loved them as a teen but couldn’t afford the hobby. Now I can afford to indulge in collecting. My family doesn’t understand it, and I don’t have friends that collect. So I turn to KZbin for knowledge, and just to admire what people have. I pay no attention to limited editions, or any other specifications that record collectors have. If it’s not in my price range, and I don’t love at least half of the songs, then I don’t buy it.

[@mugwump6885]

Great vid, man! I’ve been collecting records for over 30 yrs, and I’m still learning. I just taught some of my older records to drive too. It was a sad day to watch em drive off into the sunset. Haha! Once you really jump down that rabbit hole, it doesn’t really matter how many records you have, you’re always looking for more. Most importantly, like you said, don’t be a snob! Help people that are new to the hobby. The more you get into it, the more pressings you’ll hear and realize what you do like. The more you get into the gear side of things, the better you’ll be able to hear the differences, so if you’re new to it, don’t worry about it, and just enjoy it!

Great tips for beginners! I can't tell when I started cause since my dad had a nice stereo (Marantz Amp, Tape, Radio and Dual Turntable) I grew up with this. I had different turntables over the years of my youth. Most of them from the garbage or second hand stores cause back in late 80s /early 90s people here were on a CD trip and geot rid of their stuff. Here in germany we have special days you can put down you bulk trash beside the street. Back then it was allowed to also put down electronics. Great times to get all kind of stuff. Best turntable I found was Sansui. Can't remember the model. Visual condition wasn't that great but it worked perfecly fine. There are sometimes good deals for these old Sony, Pioneer, Sansui, Fisher (studio standard series), Dual turntables. Not all of them are good turntables but in my experience the bulky heavy ones with thick platters won't dissapoint.

[@BillAdams-fb3jm]

I remember going to garage sales when I was a kid and finding lots of records for nothing. A lot of that had to do with the fact that vinyl records weren't particularly popular in the late Eighties and early Nineties -- so I'd often find records for a buck -- and I was a kid so people wouldn't try to overcharge me. It was cool; I remember finding a Jane's Addiction 12'' single that I still have and old funk records and metal records and stuff like a funk record by Johnny "Guitar" Watson and Live at Folsom by Johnny Cash and Live After Death by Iron Maiden and records by Bootsy Collins and Parliament and Funkadelic that I didn't really know anything about -- but I wanted new music and the price was right. It was awesome. Of course, vinyl records are popular again so prices at garage sales are a heck of a lot higher now than they used to be, but the memories from back in the day when no one cared and finding treasure still feel pretty good.Occasionally, it happens again these days -- just not as often.

Since then I have been on a mission to surpass that find but I don't think I ever will, I keep trying though!

Just got a Panasonic PLL multiplex circuit. No idea If it’s good or even works. Buddy dad got it on auction and gave it to me because I’ve been thinking about getting into records. Dad had a player and bunch of 70s, 80s rock but all went up in flames.

I got into records because I make beats and as a teenager I was a total crate digger. I wanted to find all these amazing samples I've heard on hip hop songs. Out of all the collectibles I've owned over the years, vinyl has been the one that's always stuck with me, even if I fall in and out of love with it. I just love music. I've discovered so much great music through vinyl.

Caught a lot of hell for collecting records and wanting to put them on the wall from some vinyl snobs thanks for this ! one day I will eventually get a turn table and try them out to me they’re works of art and pieces of history from my favorite bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd

I am a beginner and am looking for a dual 701. I like That old stuff Made of wood and metal, but its relativly high priced at 400€. Do you can recommand this turntable for that price? Or even in general?

[@neilpenny5475]

Second vid of yours I have watched. In a world of snobs, you are refreshing. Thank you for sharing your experience with me, a 60 year old total newbie.

[@JAMBI..]

Alright noble, I invested on a few flannel button up shirts, some Pabst blue ribbons, and would like to know basics when finding used cheap metal/hard rock vynals. A reliable source. Will be stealing my grandpas record player.

[@Tysman909]

Great video thanks for the advice. I currently have a really nice turntable an Akai AP307 and a vintage Harman Kardon tube amp which is best way to listen to vinyl is on tube equipment get that nice warm sound

[@anthonycorda7720]

I was kind of dumb, back in the 80's I started to replace my records with CD's, I still like CD's but I miss my records. I'm retired now and on a fixed income so paying $20 to 40 dollars for a record is just not in my budget. I do realize that with inflation the 20 dollar price is actually not a bad price and in line with the times. So, I do want to replace at least some of my collection and have started to go to used record stores and have found some records at a decent price, yes they might have some pops and sometimes you get one where someone did not take care of them but so far I've been lucky.

[@mauricedibert2635]

Personally I buy what I like and want and can. And what I can find. Especially what My wallet can bear easily. In Argentina it is hardddd

[@mikehuhman3249]

Just wanted to say Thank you! And you are the coolest kind of collector . Keep doing what you're doing.

[@50jun]

Vinyl Snobs smell like musky Vinyl the usually like to argue about the oldest first mist valuable pressing, but no one really cares...🤣🤣

[@sabbathbloodysabbath3351]

I found a Philips 877 turntable for about €30,00 a couple of months back. Used to have an all in one turntable.

[@jesseross6029]

I have a question. Do any of the higher end turntables play 78s? One reason I've always defended entry level Crosleys, etc, is that they have 3 speed settings. I do listen to 78s from time to time so I appreciate that feature.

[@christinegamez7014]

I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like the Audio Technica LP-60 has a counterweight on the tonearm, is this correct?

[@vadenk4433]

I have a Zeppelin III reel to reel that was in Vietnam during the war. Wanna buy it? Also have Cosmos Factory on reel to reel.

[@johnward4557]

Such a nice, down-to-earth chat about this hobby. And you got me when I saw the Nick Drake album sitting out: that is great one!

[@PeterMosertechmosesproductions]

Part of why I like record collecting is the history of the specific copy that o have. I got a really good deal on Queens night at the opera because the sleeve had a note to someone as a gift on the top corner, but the LP was in NM condition. Inside the jacket was a note from one person to another about their love and failed marriage. It is one the favourite record I own in part because of the history of the copy I have.

[@simontrost3400]

I started collecting records about 3 months ago. As my first turntable, I bought the AT-LP120XUSB (mainly because of the great reviews) and the Magnat monitor active 2000 speakers, which I bought on amazon. I spent about 500 bucks for my whole setup as a beginner and must say I am very happy. I can highly recommend these two units for any beginner who can afford them. When you got into collecting a bit you might want to upgrade to a better cartridge or even spend some extra bucks on an amplifier but you definitely will have your joy with that turntable for many years.

[@scottmattern482]

Some good advice I got: marry your sources and amps, date your speakers. You will have your turntable and amp for decades, if you get good equipment. Speakers come and go.

[@nizarderan4748]

This was very helpful I think a lot of people will collect LP/vinyls because of this video

[@davidoswell3079]

Buy the music you like. They may not be "holy grail" titles but who cares. Buy and listen...

[@coletrain4121]

Solid advice boss. If my collection were the size of your’s, I’d break it up by genre & age too.

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

I have a VG+ copy of Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell that I play. I also have a sealed copy. Since I have a copy I play, I see no reason to open it after 40 years of being sealed.

[@jeffbecerra1281]

thank you, I was given a hank jr. sings hank sr. it has a red cover with the photo of hank sr. can you give me any idea of what this lp history may be, or if it is some thing I just like and should, play not so often .

[@ThoseBackPages]

how FULL are those cubes now, as we near September, 2021?

[@chunkz1187]

Good video but I disagree with the final point: I got no friends, no loved ones, nobody and I love record collecting and listening to records in my dedicated room and diggin in the crates.

[@pattystephens8129]

I play records, I don’t collect them. I have a lot of records that I play.

[@mcintoshkid]

[@---qw5ir]

WELL ACTUALLY...... you rock!🤘 haha , cheers

[@m_recordz]

This is a very long-winded way of saying, "Buy music you like and have fun playing it."

[@davij2727]

What’s your opinion on angelhorn record players? Is there any universal mods that can be done to get a better sound from a cheap record player?

[@chucklestheClock1]
