Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name! But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
Wow what a great and detailed welcome. Such a great story. Thanks for sharing. I agree that those rare releases are good to find. Sometimes they sound better than the original mixes or versions. There's a DJ on the webs called "generic male dj's" which seems to be good at mixing those 80's alternates. Cheers.pinny73, it is an amazing hobby to get into ‘today’ as you have an infinite source of high quality music for a subscription fee, and can play all day…
this alone makes the most important aspect of it (playing music) super easy.
in my day it was an album by album (or CD by CD) affair. you’d buy ‘singles’.
when Australia passed a law to prohibit ‘renting CDs’, I joined the classical music appreciation society to ‘borrow’ CDs (they had an exceptional world music collection as well)..
Libraries also offered a ‘small range’, but with the shiny silver discs, they were not always ‘well looked after’. (still safer than sharing vinyl)
Nowadays, having everything at ones fingertips is a big part of making it all very accesible.
I do like the tactility of vinyl and, arguably, even CDs… (presently loaded five albums by one artist into the carousel).
That, combined with a single disc (regular CD tray) player, DJ’ing (cueing up the next album) can be fun…
But nothing is as easy as simply clicking ‘play next’/‘add to playlist’ type stuff.
I love scouring second hand CD stores for old classics, rare and hard to find releases, and limited edition ‘tour’ releases.. (often with an extra disc of live or unreleased tracks).
They typically cost $1 and due to being worthless to junkies, I will probably have them for decades even if the house gets robbed.
My child then gets to inherit my ‘playlists’.
Thanks for posting a greeting…
Welcome to Head-fi.
…and you still can’t always get what you want…"Cans are different today," I hear every headfier say
N00bs need something today to calm them down
And though they're not really ill, there's no amp or DAC so still,
They go running for the shelter of their credit card helper
Welcome, I feel you with not having space to play music loudly, I can't use speakers or even my Sundara in my own room. I'm quite envious of those who have their own living space with no one around lolHey welcome, I am new here too and just got into headphone world. I was into home theater stuff years ago and now that I live in an apartment and don't have the space nor can play very loudly I turned to headphones. It really is amazing how much technology exists in the headphone world today. I really didn't expect it. I can see some of the folks here are wayyyy deep in this rabbit hole and I suspect my bad habits of trying new gear could get out of control too, kind of like it did with my home theater setup. lol
What gear are you starting with?
My child got into Tori Amos (probably a decade of me playing Ms Amos, and loading their early music players with tracks like "Yes, Anastasia")Wow what a great and detailed welcome.
