Why I'm Buying Vinyl in 2024 | Physical Media

[@yevsey169]

Extremely quality country selections! I noticed the stomping Tom Connors at the start of the video as well.

I'm not a Vinyl guy. I try it. But this was to expensive for me. But I'm a CD collector. The Price is great, the Sound is awesome and they last longer than vinyl.

[@spencers-adventures]

I’m with you on the price and the quality. I try to find my vinyl for sub $15 if I can, but that’s still like new CD price and used is way less still! I’m going to keep an eye for certain CDs at the thrift store for the purpose of backing up. Sounds like you’ve got a good system - thanks for the comment!

I recently found a decent used copy of Kiss Alive at my local record store and when I brought it home and played it, I too mouthed the intro to my wife! I instantly returned to my middle school days of 1978ish. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@spencers-adventures]

I love that you mouthed it too! It’s such a great album. Merry Christmas!

[@bradleyianfield]

I find I listen to an album on vinyl the way the artist intends not just skipping songs.

[@thanksthe5505]

Started collecting back in 2019. Until now 90+ LP's and 150 CD's and it's growing.... Thanks for the video, you have my sub

[@spencers-adventures]

Thanks for following along! You’ve got a great collection building it sounds. I’ve found good results in backing the vinyl up digitally too so that’s always an option for the future if you decide. Take care buddy!

Hello from Texas! Agree 100%. All I collect is physical media. I love the sound of vinyl! My niece actually just got me for Christmas a vinyl record cleaning kit to take better care of my albums. I recently found Steve Miller Abracadabra LP at the thrift. Love me some Steve Miller. I'm jealous of the Iron Maiden album! Love it. Merry Christmas.

[@spencers-adventures]

Hey thanks for the comment! I had a blast in Texas when I was there in January! Cleaning the records is a great idea too - I need to do that for some of the ones I’ve been backing up to the computer. Surely would help with the quality of the recording. Steve Miller is so good, sounds like a great thrift find! Merry Christmas to you too!

Love all your videos, been trying to be more frugal in 2024 came across them. Keep up the great work. From Manchester, UK

[@spencers-adventures]

Thanks for watching, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! I’ll continue making content about frugality and anti-consumerism so keep your eyes peeled for that. Take care!

I've illegally downloaded every artists entire discographies via torrent files since the inception of p2p services. You're almost to 1k subs. Congratulations. One week ago, I was number 423.

[@spencers-adventures]

Aw thanks for being a sub! I appreciate you weighing in for this video too. I would love such a deep collection of discographies, I need to build a more robust digital backup like you’ve got. Hope you’re having a good holiday buddy!

[@59thSurvivor-of-VHS]

Careful, Metallica has Men in Black Agents still lingering from the Napster Days LOL, I joke but then realize I just created another conspiracy

[@59thSurvivor-of-VHS]

Keepin' up the Retrotech Broski! Vinyl does out sell cds. Crazy days if VHS can resurge over DVD, people want blu ray if it is a digital disc. Hi Fi is another sound output, alike vinyl that is warmer and richer, louder even than compressed digital. Not as clean but a different sound than your cellphone squaks and sqeaks. Miss the 70's style boom box need one of those. You are going way back with the sour dough. Oregon Trail on DOS 3.1 Status Survivor approved! LoL. Good way to eat cheap. Keep on huntin'

[@spencers-adventures]

Great to hear from you buddy! Yes I love the sound of vinyl compared to the phone. The crackles and pops are all good with me! And yes the Oregon Trail is such a blast. I’m excited to see how the sourdough turns out. Getting it going in the next few days. Thanks for the comment!

[@coolguy-wolf]

I only use music streaming services to listen to music see if it's something I want to add to my collection and if not I can still say I listened to the album. But I'm a physical media guy. So I buy Vinyl & and CDs and Cassette Tapes.

[@adamwragg4606]

Yeah I'd love to pick up vinyl for that cheap but I'm not massively into older artists, although 80s music would be cool to pick up, that's an idea 🤔 I'd generally be getting the new vinyl, especially Taylor swift, I'm a bit of a swifty lol

[@spencers-adventures]

I love that you’re a Swifty Adam! That just makes me happy to know. You’re a gem!

[@adamwragg4606]

@@spencers-adventures haha! She's seems nice enough too 😅 absolutely love her music! Aww thanks, you are too 😊

[@mothbythesea]

I started an amazing vinyl collection in Canada when i worked at Value Village. Im trying to figure out an affordable way to get them to Australia where i now live and carry them in my house bus, but god damn theyre heavy 😅

[@madisonsnovlogging]

I am more of a CD or even a digital download kinda girl. I want to get more CDs and when I move out, I want to have my very own vinyl collection. im also going to get these second hand too.

[@spencers-adventures]

Vinyl second hand is a great way to go. So many good deals!

[@sarahbannon4752]

What’s you turntable set up? I’m thinking of upgrading.

[@spencers-adventures]

I use my girlfriends Audio Technica LP60-BT. Speaker and amp are a vintage Toshiba set from a friend’s grandparents

[@sarahbannon4752]

Thank you! I’ve been eyeing up an AT turntable for a while now, might have to go for it at some point.

[@folksurvival]

Do you like Stan Rogers?

[@spencers-adventures]

Buddy, you can consider me a broken man on a Halifax pier!

[@ManCaveTV1]

what record player do you use? I want to get into records.

[@spencers-adventures]

My girlfriend has an Audio Technica one that was already set up when I moved in with her, so that’s what I’m using now 👍 just like an LP60 or one of those (hers is white)

[@scib.769]

Got any pink floyd??

[@spencers-adventures]

I had a special record store day version of See Emily Play, but I gave that to a friend a while back. Would love a copy of Piper at the Gates of Dawn though!
