Your humility is so refreshing! There are snob in all of my interests . . . vintage audio, bikes, photography, etc. Love your channel!
A tip I always give: accept you can’t own everything and probably never will. Cherish what you own.
Very good advice! Not to mention, if you owned everything that would take a lot of the fun out of it 🤣
Noble Records Haha indeed. It’s a collection that can suck up a lot of cash, there is always the next record you need. My Discogs want list is still 1800 items long and growing. And I know there is some stuff on it I will never be able to purchase. But it’s ok, still keeping an eye out though 😁
@@12inchRulesi really want Joose on CD, but I know I'll never actually own.
I started collecting about 12-15 years ago, mostly by accident.
I was at a garage sale and they had a box of records for $1 each. Normally I pass them by, because everyone I knew with records, was my dad's age, or older, and all their records were old country, classical, or Christmas music. Guys my age, mostly, started getting music on cassette.
This box, however, had Alice Cooper right out front, so I started flipping through it. There were about 25 classic rock albums and about 25 of the ones I would have expected. I offered them $20 for the whole bunch. I kept the classic rock and gave the rest to my dad.
After that, I kept picking up any that I could find for similar prices at garage sale. I didn't even have a turntable, but I kept telling myself I was going to get one.
About a year later, I ran into the record snobs. I found a nice looking Pioneer in the local classifieds. Before I went out and bought it, I joined a record collecting forum, and asked if a Pioneer was a good turntable to start out with. I just got a bunch of replies telling me, "only if you don't care about your records". Then they started recommending turntables that started at $2500.
I gave up getting a turntable for quite a while, but I kept collecting, any time I saw them cheap at garage sales.
Last year, I finally picked up a vintage Denon, and I am finally listening to my records. I've finally started going to record shops and have picked up a few new reissues.
this is literally the sweetest dude I’ve ever come across
Ahh thanks! I try!
Yeah his cool as fk I'd like to have big fat vape and just chill talking about stuff...
‘Organise your collection by how your brain works.’ Gets a like just for that quote! ❤️
than my shit would be all over the place
No matter why you collect, you are preserving history.
Thats right! I've seen thrift stores completely wipe their inventory and start new. I wanted to cry
Dude you are awesome. I started collecting like 3 years ago when I was 16, and the community I encountered when trying to get into the hobby, was one of the worst I had ever seen. Everybody looked down upon me, and I literally felt ashamed going into record shops since I was young, and the owners would treat me like I was dumb. I got through it and am relatively experience now, but it was tough trying to learn what to do when every other video was some old man saying you need to spend 8,000 to get a decent turntable and you have to clean your records with the tears of angels or you’ll ruin them. I love your attitude and videos, keep inspiring young collectors like me to get into record collecting
Thanks man that means a lot! I know I’m still dumb in a lot of areas, it’s foolish for people to act like they know it all. It’s a lot more
Fun to be nice. Thanks for watching!
Well, actually Angel tears…
You made me literally laugh out loud regarding records being cleaned with angel tears. Cheers!
🤣🤣🤣
4:50 you just described my life. I have absolutely no one in my life to talk to records/music about. That's why I started my channel. I wanna talk about stuff and absolutely nobody cares about my passion lol... it is a little frustrating.
I care. I’m here for you 🤣
I care also. I lucked out though I have a wonderful beautiful wife that I can talk to about it she actually loves most of the stuff I do like even odd stuff like Return to Forever etc. She also shares my passion for a lot of 60s music like bubble gum music etc. She is confused though on why I have 6 different versions of Sgt.Peppers & Yesterday & Today lol. But when buying for me for Xmas etc she does go out of her way to find a colored vinyl copy of something I love. Love this channel
@@joemartucci4786 Return To Forever....One of the top five live shows I ever attended.
I'm 19 yrs old, have over 35 records and am starting to look into caring for them properly. This video has helped me a lot. Thank you for this video, you seem pure and knowledgeable and I appreciate you spreading your knowledge.
i started collecting records since 1975 and never stopped
This is one of the best videos I've seen for beginning collectors or even any collector really. Some amazing advice and no shaming. I've been collecting for a little bit and I definitely enjoy watching videos in the vinyl community to discover new/old albums. Great content, always stay humble and kind is advice that never goes out of style.
I think of collecting as organic, that is, my collection grows from the music I'm interested in. I don't buy records based on somebody's list or because of its reputation. And I don't buy records because they're rare or on a special colored vinyl and so on--I grew up when buying an album was just to have a copy of the music, and I feel that's what it should remain. I love the LP format, but at bottom, it's about the music--if that means, for example, that a new release that I love and must have is only available on CD, so be it. If that means buying an inexpensive LP reprint of, say, a coveted Blue Note release, so be it. I wouldn't have much of what I own if I held out for originals of everything I wanted to listen to. In some sense, life is too short to be too serious about collecting albums. Buy the music, enjoy the music!
You've said it all in the first line Sir, that's the only good way to collect records. Buy records that YOU like, don't let others (snobs and geaks)tell you what to buy, it's your journey. If you stick to that you'll eventually find your way: the right records, shops to get them, the good websites etc. Happy collecting Sir!
Hell yeah! You know it. May you live long and healthy and happy.😄
I love your attitude and advice! I acquired my first 45s when I was a toddler, and I still have them. I vaguely remember my first record player. I stuck the 45 into a slot and it played. By the time I got my first LP (the soundtrack to "A Hard Day's Night"), I was about 10 and had a Decca suitcase record player. I bought my first component stereo system in 1977. My turntable, a Yamaha YP-211, is still in use. My best record store find was Dave. We met in 1980 and have been married since 1982. Thankfully, we used (and still use) the same record organization system. One of our friends said she knew we's last when we combined the record collections.
In a earlier video you mentioned that you started out by listening to a list of 1000 essential albums. Based on that tip, I set a goal to listen to at least 1000 albums a year and a few hundred albums in, it has already totally changed my entire outlook on vinyl and music as a whole. Just listening to a lot of different stuff has been the most important step for me to get deeper into music and collecting :)
Man! So glad to hear!
So one year now....how are you doing?
@@mrhoffame made it to 1000 last year, a great personal achievement for me during the pandemic! 😄 it was mostly psych so I may do it again in the future and focus on a different genre
I think it is a great exercise for people who love music but find themselves listening to the same stuff over and over. I wouldn't recommend 1000 in a year lightly though to someone who is where I was at the onset. It will make music a lifestyle and you have an endless vinyl waitlist at the end lol
Through it I fell in love with some styles I had completely written off before and discovered music is truly endless. I also developed a feeling of kinship/connection with serious collectors and people in the VC like yourself and Dylan rather than just feeling like a jealous observer 😄✌
I love listening to records on a manual turntable because of how they force me to sit and actually listen to the music from beginning to end. I tend to put digital music on and have it in the background while I do other things.
Dude...I dig your style. Snobs are such a drag when you're trying to get into something and asking questions. These are great tips.
Finding you at the beginning of my journey has been a true blessing! Thank you for your knowledge and awesome personality
i bought a beatles record on a second-hand online clothing website for around seven dollars (so definitely not a professional find, since i have close to no knowledge about this field ^^), it arrived today, and since the moment i held the solid disk in my hands (strictly only the edges and the middle part dw) i've been captivated by how REAL music can be. as a 16yo who only ever listens to music on a computer/headphones, even just being able to HOLD music and imagine what it could sound like flabbergasted me honestly. once again i managed to find a really expensive hobby which i don't have the financial situation for, but this time it really seems like a journey that i'm willing to wait for its milestones.
at last, you really are such a joy to listen to, i can feel the love for your records and the will to give as much advice as you can through the digital screen. thank you for giving me an amazing first impression of this community, sir!!
When I was starting out, I wish I could’ve streamed before I bought. The 80s had some cheap vinyl, but it was also the Dark Ages.
“Stay humble “...... enough said my friend.
Two videos in and I wanna be best friends with this guy lol
Just starting out collecting myself and his combination of humility and knowledge is exactly what I need
Thank you man! We can be best friends!
@@noblerecords looking forward into diving into your channel, growing my own collection and finding my way into the community!
Q. How to start your record collection?
A. Buy a record.
Exactly!!!
Well yes but also no lol
worked for me
I think you'd have to buy a second for it to technically be a collection lol
I’ve been collecting for 5 years, since I was 15. The only way to start a collection is to start. Buy whatever turntable you can afford (I’d recommend the at-lp 60), hook it up to whatever speakers you have or can afford and then buy your favourite album of all time to start. Go to thrift stores to buy records you would never know about. Eventually you’ll gain some experience and you’ll have a great time in the record store. As you go on you’ll upgrade audio equipment from your pre amps, amps, receivers, needles and turntables. Just have fun and buy what you like. I’d rather have 5 albums that I love than 1000 copies of herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass
One thing I will add is be aware of the condition of the records you are buying. When I first started buying, I was clueless about how to interpret the condition of the vinyl itself. I also settled for a lot of really bad beater copies of records I didn't know I could easily find. Don't settle for poor condition records unless it's something really rare. I've got a lot of albums I wish I hadn't bought because they sound terrible but I didn't know what I was doing then.
I was lucky that the beaters I bought before I wised up were comedy albums that weren't worth much to begin with. By the time the expensive stuff showed up, I knew better.
I’m so glad I found this channel. Working my way through all of your videos.
Great stuff as always, sir! The first 5 minutes was perfectly said! Dont let others deter you from collecting the way you want to collect. Just enjoy it!
Appreciate you! Take care!
Been collecting for about 6 months now. Love watching your videos. Your recommendations for a setup is actually my current set-up and it sounds so good. You have great taste in music andI'm learning alot from you. Many thanks.
I got into records because I make beats and as a teenager I was a total crate digger. I wanted to find all these amazing samples I've heard on hip hop songs. Out of all the collectibles I've owned over the years, vinyl has been the one that's always stuck with me, even if I fall in and out of love with it. I just love music. I've discovered so much great music through vinyl.
Came for some tips, staying because your attitude radiates positivity
A friend gave me his old Technics sl-q350 a couple years back and I still use it. Great suggestions.
Great advise on record collecting. You always are down to earth and give advise on record and collecting. Making friends in record collecting and sharing advise, knowledge and records with other enthusiast in why this is such a great hobby. Keep up the great recommendations.
In a comic book collector. That being said the first time I picked up a rare record sealed I stood there for a moment staring at it. after a few seconds I snapped from my trance and grabbed the exacto.😲 #ForTheLoveOfMusic
The best beginners info I've heard brother Dylan. Solid tips and advice.
Awesome video! I will definitely be sharing this video with some friends who are getting into record collecting. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!! I just inherited tons of records from my grandparents (even an original Rumours!!!!) I’m so excited to start in the VC!!! Great video
Second vid of yours I have watched. In a world of snobs, you are refreshing. Thank you for sharing your experience with me, a 60 year old total newbie.
Really good advice, especially about the best time being when you just have a few records. I always remember back to the time when I was about 9 and was given a cheap battery suitcase turntable and a few K.tel records. Then my cousin gave me a bunch of albums which included one ( the only one that I kept) called The Age of Atlantic. That record was the start for me and to this day its the greatest treasure in my collection.
Thanks so much for making this video! I just started collecting and am super excited to see what kind of music I discover. I like the idea of hitting thrift stores and yardsales. The thrill of finding a good deal, but also finding cool music that I've never heard is what draws me in. Its cool to take yourself back and put yourself in someones shoes who lived in the 40's, 50's or 60's....those are my favorite time periods so far.
Best beginner setup ive found is a Fluance RT-81 and edifier powered bookshelf speakers
You're so kind...thanks for this video and channel. I am new to vinyl but I grew up on records that my parents would play and I am excited to relive that... but in my own way
Very good information man ! ! ! You brought it down to ground level and not many people can do that about this subject. But your right there are more people that won’t help you than those that will. I’ve been collecting for about 40 years and it still amazes me how many self proclaimed “experts” there are. Good job man ! ! !
Great vid, man! I’ve been collecting records for over 30 yrs, and I’m still learning. I just taught some of my older records to drive too. It was a sad day to watch em drive off into the sunset. Haha! Once you really jump down that rabbit hole, it doesn’t really matter how many records you have, you’re always looking for more. Most importantly, like you said, don’t be a snob! Help people that are new to the hobby. The more you get into it, the more pressings you’ll hear and realize what you do like. The more you get into the gear side of things, the better you’ll be able to hear the differences, so if you’re new to it, don’t worry about it, and just enjoy it!
Hi......I've seen some of the your videos and re-discover some records that I listened when I was young. Frantic, Dragonfly, Morgen, Fraction, Black Cat Bones etc etc. Now I'm in my sixties and never never thought that in 2020 somebody was interested in that music. That's incredible! I sold all my LPs many years ago , so watching them again.......it's like to become younger. Many thanks and congratulations for your collection.
Great video! I really love how helpful you are to the vinyl community. Great tips and good information as usual. I can't wait until I can make it back to your shop to pick up some new music. Hang in there and stay safe!
Thank you man! I try! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding counsel. Enjoyable manner. Good man. Thanks.
I absolutely love your channel! You’re so warm and welcoming and super informative. I’ve been collecting for almost 8 years and was always too shy to talk about records with other people b/c I didn’t think I was “worthy” enough. I even had a so called friend be really cruel to me and tell me that i’m “not a vinyl junkie” even though I love to buy records. I guess my collection was too small so we’re no longer friends lol! But that was years ago and it’s so refreshing to see kind, helpful people in this community who just love music, so thank you :) Ive written down a bunch of albums you suggested too, can’t wait to listen. Love from CA and hope to make it our NC someday!
Great video for up and coming record collectors & audiophiles!
Part of why I like record collecting is the history of the specific copy that o have. I got a really good deal on Queens night at the opera because the sleeve had a note to someone as a gift on the top corner, but the LP was in NM condition. Inside the jacket was a note from one person to another about their love and failed marriage. It is one the favourite record I own in part because of the history of the copy I have.
Loving your topic here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Perfect advice: be humble.
Just wanted to say Thank you!
And you are the coolest kind of collector . Keep doing what you're doing.
Love your channel, you truly are a wise man. I bought my first vinyl record 40 years ago; knew nothing then and I know even less now! All I do know is I love music and I respect anyone else who feels the same.
sounds like the way to perceive life and the way you look at everything great video
Great advice. You could apply a lot of this to life in general!
Great video! I’ve been around vinyl records since the late 60’s and I learn so much from this community every day. 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. I just started collecting last month and this helped so much :)
the motivation talk I needed in my life!
This is fantastic advice for every day live...thankyou so much...I'm going to apply these tips to myself and life around me..thankyou
Thank you so much for the help! As a record collecting noob this stuff was really needed! 🤘
Thank you so much! I have been watching a few of your videos and they are all so helpful!
thx for the great info and stories. love your vibe. glad i found you.
Love your videos my man 👍 I'm just getting into it you've been alot of help. I can tell you love it, humble and to the point keep up the good work !!
I really dig Noble, thank you brother
im 15 and just starting out and your videos are really helpful and how you go about it is relaxing so thank you :)
Love your channel! Trying to get into records recently. Been watching all your videos! Thank you for all the help!!
For me I started collecting because of Jack White and his label Third Man. I always associated him with the vinyl format and initially I was going to get all of the Jack White related stuff on vinyl for the sake of having it. Then it turned into getting all of the KISS records (my favorite band) and then it just grew to be anything that I liked. Over time, I started getting different mixes, bootlegs, box sets and it grew from there. Now my main thing is absorbing myself in new music and newer artists since there are so many artists out there in the world. Great video Dillion, cheers and stay safe.
love the positive, welcoming attitude! thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Really like your videos! Thanks for all the tips and tricks.
Enjoy your vids. Really opened my eyes to some different music. Thank you!
Great vid Dillon, loved the tour.😀
I just collect vinyl records I love ❤️ the music 🎶 that I grown up on back in the 70’s & 80’s and for the fun of it and I just miss having my vinyl records and that sound!
Many thanks for another great video. I have been sharing them on our Facebook group here in the UK and they are proving very popular. Keep up the great work.
Great video! And thank you because I only just started collecting vinyl a few months back and am still to buy my first turntable and had been thinking of getting the Audio Technica LP-120 and then you recommended it so voila! I'm excited where this vinyl hunting journey will lead me as my dad has so many great records that I grew up on and I just want some of that nostalgia back.
I started by buying a Bill Withers record..
Then I needed a turntable and an amplifier/receiver so I could listen to the records I purchased. It's really quite simple. Don't buy a book on collecting buy a book or magazine about artist you like.
There is no such thing as records you should have or need in your collection. Buy what you like. It's your collection.
If you are trying to impress your friends or guys in the dorm then ok, buy stuff "experts" recommend.
If you are buying for investment reasons, I don't know what to tell you.
But I will say after collecting more than 6,000+ lps and 1000's of 45 along with 3,000+ cd's and about 2,000 music video's, my layman recommendation is collect what YOU like.
I realized a long time ago, I never met an "expert" when it comes to my collection.
After all these years I still have people and friends with NO collection telling me what to listen to or what I need or must have in MY collection. (heck, I don't have enough time left in my life to re-listen to everything in my vast, awesome, collection, not to mention all the things i am still discovering on my own)
You will grow into other genres as you get older (i hope) but i repeat, buy what you like and go from there.
Ohh.. and ignore all the people who tell you how bad your taste are or what a waste of time and money your collection is.
oohh... and many things you don't like if you come back to it after a while, you will find that your taste have matured or changed and now it's something your find appealing. Good luck..
As a vinyl collector who is finally going back into the listening part of the experience, I checked out a few of your videos. Your recommendations and advice were extremely helpful with building the right set-up for my needs. Thank you so much for doing these!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
love your reel to reel.. my old man had one back in the 70s when I was growing up.. that takes me back... they are a pain but they are cool
Thanks for this man very helpful
These are really great statements and tips! Thank you for the clarity on explaining; very straight forward. I remember some of your videos popping up on the TH-cam suggestions and watching them, but casual view only. I just subscribed to this channel... loving the content!
Upgrading to a Clearaudio has been on my wantlist, but now is on top of it! Yours looks amazing... actually your whole setup looks great! Congratulations! But that Reel to Reel!! Dude!! I would just love to have a similar piece of equipment that works well. I will continue in the search.
Thanks for sharing all this information! Cheers!
Dude! Great video! Thank you
Recently started collecting Vinyls and your channel has helped me learned the ropes. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! So glad I could help!
Thank you for honest and very helpful video without shaming and boasting !!! Greetings from Poland brother
Hey i learned a lot to you brother! “Stay Humble” thank you so much!
Such a nice, down-to-earth chat about this hobby. And you got me when I saw the Nick Drake album sitting out: that is great one!
So glad I found your site, you are such an expert.I collect Movie Soundtracks for many years but I acquired many more when buying collections.
Great video! I bought my favorite pressing of Master of Reality from you off Instagram about 3 or 4 years ago! Long time fan! Keep it up!
I love your energy man, you're way different than other record channels who'd shame certain types of people especially newbies.
Thanks so much!
i got started by receiving a stack of leftover 12 inch singles from a DJ that was in a record pool
New to vinyl & there are definitely so many snobs that make the hobby intimidating to get into. Love your vids & your humble vibes. Your videos are super reassuring & encouraging.
Awesome! Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the vinyl world!
New to this whole thing as well, but didn't meet any snob, cuz nobody around me is into vinyl and I don't hang out in internet communites much😁👍 but it's ok, I've been collecting CDs my whole life for myself, I'm ok with not sharing lol and I guess it'll be similar with vinyl.
Great tips for beginners!
I can't tell when I started cause since my dad had a nice stereo (Marantz Amp, Tape, Radio and Dual Turntable) I grew up with this. I had different turntables over the years of my youth. Most of them from the garbage or second hand stores cause back in late 80s /early 90s people here were on a CD trip and geot rid of their stuff. Here in germany we have special days you can put down you bulk trash beside the street. Back then it was allowed to also put down electronics. Great times to get all kind of stuff. Best turntable I found was Sansui. Can't remember the model. Visual condition wasn't that great but it worked perfecly fine. There are sometimes good deals for these old Sony, Pioneer, Sansui, Fisher (studio standard series), Dual turntables. Not all of them are good turntables but in my experience the bulky heavy ones with thick platters won't dissapoint.
Love the Video. I'm somewhat of a novice Vinyl collector. Just about to hit 600 Records after, maybe, 5-7 years collecting. Inherited 70s era Turntable, speakers and Pre amp from my Dad. The turntable is no more so I went to a Sherwood. Great brand. My 4 Old style speakers put out a killer sound. The old wood speakers with brown fabric front covers. Sunday afternoon's were made to be spent sitting down listening to your favourite Records.
Thanks for sharing this. Lots of great info to build a collection off of.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I have a SL-D2. Love it...for now :)
Nice man thanks for the advice. I got about 60 records now. I’m starting out with the music I bought on cd’s when I was a teen first and work my way Down the years. Nice set up also.
Hey Brother. It's nice to meet you. Man I've been collecting vinyl records since I was a kid and love doing it still... To me it's the best format Being all original. My name is Chad. I totally understand the kinds of people that Don't like when you have 100 records at one time. Honestly. Do what you love and don't let others drag you down for it... I love that mindset. You will deal with all kinds of people in the world. Main thing is do what you love and be happy. Would like to be your friend. Keep up the good work. PS: I recently just started my own TH-cam channel.
Great advice for beginners! Don't let the snobs drag you down! That said, I'm a bit of a stereo snob, but only because my vinyls asked nicely. . . My first table was a cheapo BSA, but it was a perfectly good start. '76 Yamaha YP-D6 table these days.
I started collecting records about 3 months ago. As my first turntable, I bought the AT-LP120XUSB (mainly because of the great reviews) and the Magnat monitor active 2000 speakers, which I bought on amazon. I spent about 500 bucks for my whole setup as a beginner and must say I am very happy. I can highly recommend these two units for any beginner who can afford them. When you got into collecting a bit you might want to upgrade to a better cartridge or even spend some extra bucks on an amplifier but you definitely will have your joy with that turntable for many years.
Some good advice I got: marry your sources and amps, date your speakers. You will have your turntable and amp for decades, if you get good equipment. Speakers come and go.
What a wonderful video! Not new to collecting myself, but this is a great video that I'll be sharing with some friends who are new to the hobby. Cheers!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job, never let anyone tell you that your fun is wrong. It’s your money and ultimately you’re allowed to enjoy it in whatever way you see fit. While there are plenty of people in th VC that can offer advice, at the end of the day all that matters is that you’re happy.
Dillon, Great job - Thanks for taking the time to post and show your vinyl and equipment. I live in Richmond VA and would love to get to your store someday. Keep the videos Coming!
Thanks for watching!
Great video !!!
Great video's. Very helpful. I wished I lived near your store, but your info is great! Thanks for all the honest tips!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
