  For the sweet love of christ, YES! All the information I want in the same place! I don’t have to search through random forums or subreddits just to find out what I need! Thanks Amoeba! Not only do you have THE best record store in the USA, but you also have the best channel for beginners in vinyl.

  Sorry to be dark but i imagine once the 60s genereation passes away there will be a lot of great used audio equipment online.

  For me, the key to enjoy old vinyl is CLEANING records. I used a Dishwasher cleaning brush back when, but my records still crackled.  I thought that was just how vinyl was. But I have since learned the importance of proper cleaning. I bought a Spin Clean and made my own cleaning solution.  BIG improvement!  I recommend it.

  You certainly don't need 1000$ to get started. You can get used equipment that was "high end" in the 70s/80s for fairly cheap.

  Just inherited my parents’ Bose 321 sound system (circa 2004) and pulled my Pioneer PL-7 direct drive turntable (about 1982) out of the attic. After replacing some missing speaker wires, I discovered what a preamp is. Now listening to some Rubber Soul. Sweet.
