Thanks Tonteldoos for taking the time! :clap:

I should clarify what I mean by "worth collecting". I don't mean albums that will appreciate in value (collector) but rather, albums that are worth making the investment in vinyl, as opposed to streaming...

Tonteldoos Dippies JoziNic fdlsys Ok I'll gooi a few I'd like on vinyl. If you've had any of these and can recommend new versions that are worth getting, that would be greatly appreciated :) -  Led Zep I-IV and or Remasters -  Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood -  Fleetwood Mac - Greatest hits...

groenspookasem  Sorry to hear that, that's not been my experience at all. Negative/snobby posts are not the norm and there are people on here with serious experience who will go out of their way to answer questions/give advice.

Tonteldoos +1 for the real-life events!

Hi chrisc , Found these for sale: https://www.cplanaudio.co.za/products/van-den-hul-the-clearwater-speaker-cable-per-metre Can you please advise as to how you would suggest connecting these? Do you bi-wire with these? Thanks in advance, Francois

Both today. Lots to be learned.  :groovy:

I've realised that locally we pay a mega premium. I don't intend to start a huge collection so will buy very selectively based on albums that I love.

Thanks JoziNic I've read through the good pressings thread, but that was more geared to who presses well. Still very imformative. Thanks for the link, will check it out!  :thumbs:

Hi all, Not sure if there's already a thread on this but is there a list of albums regarded for the audio quality/mastering ect that are worth collecting? I've heard some of the Dire Straits albums mentioned before. Listen mostly to rock/blues/jazz/indie/alternative

New here and I must say I'm loving the forum. Sure, the layout could be more user-friendly but the support and knowledge on here have been impressive so far.

Oooff those look nice. I moved from B&W 600 series to PBS Imagine XT2 towers and couldn't be happier. Love their speakers.

Ekt selfde ervaring tot dusver om eerlik te wees. Sal graag wil hoor watter ander albums jou daai selfde "audiophile experience" gee? Ek nie van plan om groot vinyl collection te bou nie maar sal graag 'n paar nice albums wil h? wat die moeite werd is om te versamel.

Anyone who where I can buy a decent cleaner in CT area? Something like the Record Dr that Croak sold?

I'd love to hear some 800 series B&W. Anyone CT side, I'll bring your favourite cold beverage :)

It's quite hard to find resources on buying/upgrading cables. I'd like good bang for buck cables that will show an audible difference between the standard ones I have now. Are there any posts on the forum regarding this?

The user interface and recommendation algorithm of Spotify win hands down. The competitors (Tidal especially) need to work on the user experience, since it's such a big part of consuming music. Really hoping Spotify Lossless (HIFI) is coming to SA soon!

The Swedes/Scandinavians sure do have a knack for making beautiful things, in general.
