A Tour of My Vinyl Collection and Listening Room | Talking About Records

[@looder011]

Just coming across your content and your passion for music is obvious in all of your videos. You spoke about your children and passing things on to them when that time comes. Unfortunately, that time came way too soon for me when my Dad passed two years ago but I inherited his equipment, collection and passion for music, and it made me so happy to see you trying to do the same. Listening to records is my greatest connection to him. Anyway, loving your content and keep up the amazing work!

[@keithridgeway985]

Thank you for sharing this. I have that same Zenith turntable and speakers in my garage on a box. It worked well and then I accidentally broke the stylus and now have no idea about where to go/how to get it fixed.

[@ericelliott227]

Nice tour! Love that vintage Zenith turntable and speakers! I loved seeing that stuff growing up. Friends of the family had nice audio gear back in the late 60s and early 70s. I used to sit transfixed staring at the stuff whenever we were visiting and such. About 2010 I was finally able to get some vintage gear I remember. Most of it I have given up or sold, but I still have some pieces I kept. I have a Marantz 2238b receiver and a Sansui 8080db receiver, which is my prized piece. I also have a Pioneer PL510A, a PL530 and a Denon DP47f all still in service today! The Pioneer turntables of old are built like brick houses. So what if I can't stick a $9000 tonearm on them, I don't need to. I also don't have that kind of cash flow. I have a pretty fair collection myself, about 700 records (not nearly as big as yours, if it was I would need two apartments). I have my records sorted in similar fashion. Currently, I am wanting to build my jazz collection. I want at least a crate full. I only have about 6 or 7 jazz records right now. I also keep a database with info on my records and such just for fun. I never sell off records because I am very selective in what I pick up. I'm building a listening library as I am not a "collector". I also liked seeing all those box sets. I can't afford any of the MoFi stuff. I have box sets from the early days though and they are fun and sound very good as well. That Dylan Biograph set is a gem in regards to sound quality.

[@tlj4404]

Tripping Daisy!! 🤘🏼

[@ronhuebner3854]

Thanks for the tour. My question has to do with the volume your family will tolerate since it looks like the room is open to the living area downstairs. My pet peeve with speakers is "the veil" that must be lifted to hear detail and soundstage and that comes down to volume. I use high efficiency vintage Frazier horn driven speakers almost exclusively and even these have to get to a certain volume to open up, though at low levels they are mighty enjoyable too. Again, thanks for bringing all of us together in a place that is not judgmental and feels very safe.

[@NTXVinyl]

Correct. The room is completely open, so I do have to watch volume at times. But it goes both ways, when I am able to crank it up it fills the entire house. 😄

[@TheMaxx111]

If you ever want to listen at rock concert volumes, bring some of those to my place!

[@garyandrew81]

Awesome record collection 🤘

[@James-hb6ee]

Stumbled upon this today and I have to say I like your record divider idea and I loved the old Zenith record player. Similar to stuff I lusted after in junior high back in the sixties. :) Try moving your speakers out into the room a bit more, the sound will open up, although I understand you may not be able to with family considerations. Speaking of family, your son did a fantastic job filming you!

Really cool video thanks dude enjoyed that a lot - great collection and cool system(s). Those box sets - wow I love all those artists. Strongly agree about having a sub, I recently added a subwoofer to my music setup - and outside of an RCM it might just be the best upgrade I’ve ever made - absolute game changer! I went for a REL T9x and it is phenomenally good with music using the high level input - the kick of the drums and rumble of the bass is just incredible. Loved to see the soundtrack collection that was my obsession for the longest time I have some very rare ones from the 80s/90s but don’t buy too many these days tbh. I’m not really a 7” collector I just have around 50 and they’re just chucked in a box, but I’d like to get them in a cool case like you have there.

@@NTXVinyl Please do the suggestion, you will love it! If not a perfect triangle try as close as possible. Main thing to try is face the speakers and be as centered between them as possible (in a triangle of course). It will give you an amazing sound stage where the vocals will float dead center between the 2 speakers. Use your balance knob if your chair is not dead center.

[@TheCollectorCave]

Very cool! I spotted those Zeppelin boxes sets the second the camera hit them! Great idea with the dupe copies of the Zeppelin records for your kids too. I have a couple questions, since I'm seeing this almost two years after it was filmed: 1) Do you still use that same TT? Curious how the dust issue has been since it doesn't have a cover. 2) Has your collection grown out of this room yet?? 😁 3) How do the acoustics sound in there? Looks like it might be a loft area?

[@NTXVinyl]

Yup same TT. Dust isn’t much of an issue. I spin records so often that a dust cover just gets in the way. I won’t grow out of this room. Purposely keeping it contained. It’s nearly “complete” at this point Sounds great. Throughout the whole house because yes it’s a very open space Cheers!

Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos! It's fascinating to see the ratio of records to equipment different people have. If I may offer a suggestion... look out for a tube phono preamp.

Nice video. Been wondering with vinyl boxes as I'm not big fan of them - not very "easy" to use. Saw this one youtube video where this man from Germany had all the vinyls out from the boxes - kind of liked that idea. Might not work with you though as have "few" boxes but for some who have less it can be handy.

If you really want those Polks to sing you need a separate amp that pushes at least 200wpc @8ohms 300@4ohms.(at least) I had the RTiA9's and they were way power hungry and had the same driver configuration as yours. I was attempting to run them with a Denon receiver before I knew better and they never got to their potential.

Thanks for the tip! Is there a certain preamp you'd recommend?
