Golden Rules

  • Leave pretension at the door. This isn't a competition, you don't need to make yourself seem better than anyone else

  • There is no one definition of what music is. Good music is relative to the listener. And just because something's popular, doesn't mean it's bad!

I have this Single release, from a Danish band called Sauna Senere. And they are nowhere to be found on Discogs. But i would like to add it to my collection..

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

Help me decide a good pressing for "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac. I have two online sellers and I can't figure it out!

New in this hobby. Please help me decide a good pressing. I'm very new in this field and don't know much . This would be my gift so returning is not possible. Is the extra 17$ worth the quality? are they the same pressing?

What record stores should I absolutely check out if I'm visiting Chicago for the weekend?

I'll be traveling to Chicago for a few days this weekend to see King Crimson's final U.S. tour and want to do some shopping while I'm there; I would love to know which record stores are considered by Chicagoans to be the best, either the large popular stores or smaller hidden gem-type stores as well.

HELP PLEASE. I think I'm damaging my record or stylus but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I bought groovewasher record cleaning kit and used it as directed on a couple records, but when playing them some white stuff starts building up on my stylus. it starts to sound weird when the white stuff builds up a lot and I have to clean the stylus between each song, but I don't have a stylus brush so I have to take the stuff off with tweezers. and after playing the record there's white stuff in the grooves. I tried cleaning a record again with less fluid but the white stuff still builds up and the record is more crackly now. I think I'm either damaging the record or the stylus but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. can anyone help? I'm kinda new to vinyl and this was my first time cleaning my records

Inherited thousands of records and in need of advice

My brother had thousands of mostly hip-hop and rap records. After almost a decade, I'm finally going through them to see what's here and how I can move them out of my parent's garage. I am currently compiling a database on Discogs and pulling the ones that are selling for a minimum over $20 (as well as those that have personal sentiment). I thought I would sell most in bulk to a record shop and attempt to individually sell the ones I'm pulling. Not being very familiar with records, however, I was wondering if there was a better way to go about this or if you had any other recommendations and advice.

Question from a n00b, about a problem with my Audio Technica AT-LP60

This record player has been around my house for two years, but hasn't been in any real use until about the past month. It has been working fine, but as of late, all LPs (including unplayed ones) have been skipping around the next-to-last track of any side. I've also noticed that my stop button isn't fully ejected, or popped out - it almost seems like the stop button is broken and stuck pressed in.

I apologize for my lack of proper terminology - or whatever. Just hoping someone can help break this down for me in layman's terms. About one day prior to this there was also some record-scratching going down, so I'm wondering if that could've caused any problem.

Um...help me? D:

Cleaning?

I'm sort of new to vinyl and I was wondering the best way to clean it. I ask this because I recently obtained a bunch of 45's and LPs that have been in storage outside of their sleeves and want to clean them before I listen for imperfections in them.
