What a nice girl, really. It's nice to see such a good hobby, I'm glad that vinyl is slowly being revived, and more and more people are joining records.
Crazy how the people commenting on these types of videos have such a strong urge to say the same tips we’ve all heard a thousand times. Great taste in music, great setup, great personality, rock on 🤘🏻
Thank you! It's good to know that someone agrees that I can enjoy vinyl the way I want to :) Thanks for watching!!
I loooove wallows and "these days" its my favourite song of them😍.
Ughhh yes so good!
You are literally the coolest person ever. Love your collection, love how you’ve got it all arranged. Nice job!!
Very cool Kiley, I'm pretty proud of my record/music collection too...nice to see yours!
WALLOWSSSSS and your room looks so aesthetic! And you're sooo gorgeous :)))
omg thank you! That means so much, especially since you're so pretty :)
Thank you for the video. You and your vinyl records are beautiful. Volgograd. Russia.😃👍
Hi Kiley! You are a genuine blessing! Thanks for your video . I love your collection!❤️🎸
Yay I am so happy you enjoyed! Thanks for sticking around :)
Kiley, Nice video and I Love your record cabinet. You did a awesome job on that. Enjoy!!
such good taste! also love your set up so much
Loved your video! Your collection is awesome and I love your wall so stylish and cool💛
Great video, im brand new to collecting records! I use to get all my music on my via Google play music but its very impersonal, with the albums you get there ideas and artwork in your hands!!
you honestly seem like the loveliest person :') i felt like we were just chilling in your room & you decided to talk me through your records.
Super creative wall and stand. Nice.
wow cool setup, I really admire your passion about vinyl
I am loving your mini vinyl cabinet! So cute!
Thank you bunches!! The DIY took so long but honestly it was worth it! :)
Kiley Smith Where did you get your record player? I ordered mine from Walmart and it was only $104.94
Your record cabinet is cute. Nice collection. Nice record player.
Thank you bunches!! Love your channel by the way ;)
GOTTA say you did a good job on the wall and the pictures look nice....
Great video. Love your collection 😍. I have one suggestion. I think you should isolate your speakers from your record player to get better sound quality. The cartridge is designed to pickup vibrations from your records. But it can also pickup vibrations from your speakers. It gets worse if you turn up the volume. The best would be to place your record player on a shelf on the wall. Maybe just a few inched above the record stand so it doesn't look very different. Then you can even jump around and it will not be affected. The next best would be to move your speakers. Maybe on a couple of small shelves
So happy to see your generation getting into vinyl and being able to like classics like Dark side of the moon and more recent stuff like Nick Jonas. 👏👏👏👏👏
U have immaculate music taste✨,, Ur collection is so cool!
Ah thank you so much! That is such a great compliment ❤️
G’day Kiley, Love your album wall mate. Great job. Looks super cool indeed. Even your little record cabinet looks dope mate. Smart, very smart. But keep going, don’t stop with your personal music designs. Perhaps, add some American Diner type designs? What do you think? Maybe some small Coca Cola signs too? I love visiting the whole retro diner joints. Just love it. Big shoutout from Australia by the way. Your passion and enthusiasm for your hobby is so fun too. Stay safe mate.👍🇦🇺😁🤪
Your picture wall is beautiful; what a great idea!!
Thank you bunches! I love how it adds to my room :)
ive collected for 50 yrs. all of my albums at 1st play were put into plastic inner sleeves. the jacket is in plastic sleeve to. then I recorded them onto high grade cassette tapes. and put the albums away . the tapes were reequalized with my soundcraftsman EQ. Needless to saY ALL OF MY ALBUMS AND COVERS ARE 40 YRS OLD AND LIKE NEW sorry caps. hint get them in plastic sleeves and have a good dust cleaner for your records. one more hint that will save you huge bucks Ill put above.. glad that you enjoy vinyl. !!
I like to decor. Very nice stuff!!
Love the wall very clever well done 👍
Thank you! It was worth the work haha
You have really great taste. You’re a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed watching the video. Thank you :-)
I like your vinyl record collection... it's totally awesome..... Journey Is a great band nobody hardly talk about.... especially there greatest Hits.... I have that album too.... I like your pink Floyd collection of Vinyl too.... Queen greatest hits and Prince Album purple Rain have those album too... you keep collecting vinyl records.... I look forward to see what else you put in your collection of vinyl...
loved the video!!!! 💕💕💕
loved this!! much love
You rock Kylie😊
loving your collection!!!!
I'm so glad!
I love your vinyl collection and your record player
Thank you bunches!! :)
I just subscribed to your channel. I like what you did with the pictures on the wall. Genius!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the club :)
I literally lovw ur queen ones
love your collection, amazing music taste!! also just a little reminder that i learned recently; the plural of vinyl is just vinyl, with no (s)!! i always catch myself when i try to say “vinyls” because that isn’t correct haha
Thank you for watching! Sometimes "vinyls" comes out even though I know it's wrong, I swear I know proper English haha
I'm happy for you that upgraded to an Audio Technica turntable, but only for sound quality reasons. Don't listen to people that tell you Crosley Cruisers will destroy your records, they will not. And certainly don't listen to anything Vinyl Eyez tells you. Hes a complete tool.
*will
They put too much weight on your records which over time warp them, causing them to be unplayable.
Yes…yes they will. You’re out of your mind if you think otherwise. Don’t run this girl down the wrong road. The stylus is absolute garbage. Everything about it will ruin the record. There’s an absolute reason why a traditional record player has what it has. It isn’t for fun.
How much did Crosley pay you to say that.
Great collections. I’m ordering Wallows Spring as you speak lol
Such a great EP!!
I’m gonna soon be upgrading to the Lp60xbt version because I love that it’s wireless and Bluetooth so all I need is a Bluetooth speaker to pair with
Cute setup! I have the same record player and I love it! Just got it for Xmas.
Hope you love it! I know I do :)
I just got the same record player and I’m in love with it
Yes, so much better from my old suitcase player haha!
@@KileySmith my sister still has her blue suitcase record player but last week I got her an Audio Technica Lp60xbt as an early birthday present she loved it
You have a LOT of great records and an awesome setup. Very nice!
gfhncat thank you so much!
Nice collection! Keep spinning.
Thank you, I intend on it!!
Kiley, for your next upgrade consider the set of klipsch promedia 2.1 thx, they are similar to what you have, but on steroids. The best part is you can find them at Costco for just $99. I mean people can spend thousands on speakers, but the difference between $50 and $99 on those Klipsch are dramatic. They are plug and play fully self powered. Everything else you have there is really cute, and your spirit for vinyl is great.
Thanks for the tip!
Hopefully you get to upgrade your speakers, the eddifier ones are sick. Cool setup regardless
Your collection is fantastic I collect cds myself but love fellow music nuts
Great video! Love the wall. Just subbed! I make videos in the VC as well. Sweet turntable. I have a Music Hall. Prince Purple Rain is killer. My favorite album by him is, Around The World In A Day. Take care 😊
The next step in your journey, it’s upgrade your speakers, pardon me, but what you have it’s really bad, I have a kanto yu4 and a Polk audio subwoofer, sounds amazing, tried in your setup and you really hear and feel the difference, congratulations on your beautiful collection!!!!
I wouldn’t put the speakers the same place where you have the turntable. I don’t know how to explain it but the vibrations of the speakers can damage the recorders when you play them
I love Kiley. She the cool girls next door.
I love collecting vinyls it's my favorite hobby I buy and I order vinyls from Walmart Target and Barnes And Noble
if you where true to the hobby then loose the s.. just vinyl
leftbreak vinyl stop being a comment Karen
@@christianwarner7128 just good english
Nice record collection and setup. Great start. Nice to see you appreciate Pink Floyd. Some great classic rock.
Brad
Great albumwall, 🇳🇱
Thanks bunches!
The breakfast club sound track jsjshehe i need that
Avery good setup
Kiley great collection you,re so down to Earth lady Queen,s greatest hits ,Dark side of the moon pink floyd , purple rain prince ,men work, zz top, bing crosby , nce room
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
I love this video!! You're great this is fantastic I have an audio technica lp60 too!!
The only thing is the plural of vinyl is vinyl not vinyls
Anyway great video def subscribing:)))))
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
As soon as I get all the other vinyls I want I'm gonna do an updated record collection video
Kiley, I’ve hit your subs button mate. Like your channel. You work hard keeping your content fresh and fun. I dig that. But I have a question for ya. Is that record company Tower Records still around and if so, is there a shop in your town? I loved visiting Tower Records.Great times for me. I used to collect 45s back in the 80s.I managed to build up a collection of over 2000. But I sold them all off back in 2011. Yes I’m regretting it now. I miss my record collection. But I had some big stupid bills to pay.Plus I had a jukebox too. I’ve thought of starting again but I’m still unsure. See ya.🇦🇺😁🤪✌️
I'm a brand new subscriber to your channel watching from London UK 🇬🇧
i would recommend u A-ha- Hunting High and low from 1985, and Keane Hopes and Fears -2004. I think my fav song from the dark side of the moon is ``Us and them`` it feels like a dream. Abbey road- the beatles and Michael Jackson- Thriller are both a must. awesome collection )
I am also a huge vinyl fan and love your set up, BUT DONT TOUCH THE RECORDS THAT WAY!!! You're only supposed to hold them by their edges or the sticker in the middle. This can lead to smudges, or scratches and can lead to worse sound quality from your records.
Hi Grace! Thanks for the feedback :) would you mind telling me which record I was not holding by the edge? I just watched it back and I didn’t see any!
@@KileySmith it was one of the first ones you showed. It was like a green tie dye
Grace K ah I see it now! Thanks for pointing that out! I am always trying to learn more about records :)
@@KileySmith no problem!
Hi Ki, you want to learn about Records, ok, first from an old schooler such as I, you do not have a vinyl collection you have the start of a record library, also please refrain from the word vinyl, vinyl is the material that records are made of, records are also known as LPs, record albums or just simply records, the cover of a record album is the jacket, the paper liner is the sleeve, the "sticker" at the center of the record is the lable, Never or to the best of your ability touch the surface record as to avoid oily finger prints...everyone IS guilty of this ...hold on the edge and the lable, Never store your records lieing down flat for an extended period of time ( they will warp), avoid damp areas to avoid water damage, mold and mildew, purchase a record cleaning kit (this is a Must), to extend jacket life purchase plastic album covers, go to record fairs and record stores that sell second hand records, I have 400+ albums well over half I bought used and they are in fantastic shape, only buy what you enjoy and know then branch out from there, Avoid the blatant money grabs really no need to have multiple copies of one record...again Everyone Is guilty of this...sorry for the lecture but you seem to be a sweet young woman and Mostly just have fun with it I've been at for forty years and have NO intention of stopping any time soon
I actually want to start a Vinyl collection of my own. But ay fellow Wallows fan
You should! It’s expensive but it’s worth it haha :)
I am so glad you actually listened to people and got a proper record player! Just saying, you should not grab your records with your fingers onto the grooves, but rather grabbing it on the label.
Yes, thank you! There were multiple people who commented that on this video so I definitely know better now :)
Where did you get that background art on your wall behind you
The other vinyls I'm gonna get are Bastille Wild World and Bad Blood Troye Sivan Bloom Alessia Cara This Summer Live Off The Floor EP Camila Cabello Romance Ariana Grande Sweetner Shawn Mendes self titled vinyl and Yourself Or Someone Like You by my favorite band
Really cool collection! Love the art on the that table, its fantastic. Umm are speakers necessary for listening to vinyl? Is it loud enough on its own? I have been obsessing about records and vinyl recently. Would love to have my own collection some day.
The only reason I bought the speakers was the turntable itself doesn’t have any built in, so without them I wouldn’t hear anything! Great question :)
Record decks, half decent ones anyway, don't have built in amplification. You need to connect them to an amplifier that has a phono input which should also include a grounding point or if the amplifier doesn't have a phono input you can buy a phono amp, which is a small box that boosts the signal from the stylus and that can then be connected to any of the inputs at the rear of your amplifier. You would also require speakers or headphones to listen to anything you play through the amp. If you were to just operate the player without amplification all you would hear is a very faint output from the stylus. You can buy the "all in one" players, but as we all know from TH-cam, you put the life of your vinyl on the line by doing so! Hope that has cleared it up for you!
My cousin Kechette loves Billie Eilish so this year for Christmas I’m getting her an Audio Technica Lp60xbt with all three of Billie’s albums on vinyl I’m getting her the Target red and yellow split vinyl for Don’t Smile At Me glow in the dark vinyl for When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go and the Target blue vinyl for Happier Than Ever
9:06 I've been wanting that one for the LONGEST time! I have one of his records but I adore his Christmas one! It's so hard to find!
Update:I just got it today!
12:00 I really love that album too! Know every song 💛
Can you make a video about your album wall? it really cool! :)
Hey! Here a fellow collector. I love to watch videos where people show their collection. I love your collection! Only one tip, don't touch your records in the grooves. It can damage them permanetly. Which makes them unplayable and that would suck alot!
Thank you so much for watching! I've had a lot of people tell me that in the comments so I will definitely keep that in mind for the future :)
I have an Audio Technica LP60 I got it in June in the mail it's the original model and it's red
Yes I love mine so far! So much better than the Crosley haha
@@KileySmith I agree. My sister has a blue Crosley suitcase record player but I'm gonna order her an Audio Technica LP60 this year for Christmas
That will be a great gift!
Kiley Smith I'm gonna get her the Bluetooth Audio Technica LP60
Question do you guys hang your posters if you get on from a viny?
I don't usually because I like to keep them "safe," like I'm bad with posters I always rip them! But I know there are a lot of people who do :)
How did u do the stuff on your wall? I love them
I created the template on Photoshop (there is probably an easier way it took me WAY too long haha!) and them I just sent them to Walgreens to print them as photos! Super easy process just time consuming!
@@KileySmith ooooo okay thank you so much!
to everyone saying that kiley is super nice, i can confirm this is very true! she was a senior when i was a freshman! we were in romeo and juliet together!
Awe Matthew thank you! haha You and I will always be the dynamic duo of nurse and Lady Juliet :)
the best place to buy records online, is through Discogs. It's basically an Ebay for records
Discogs is often inflated prices because you pay for condition and I’ve had people grade records near mint and it arrives as very good. Lots of scammers so have to beware
@@lmc3307 yeah there is that. I don't buy from sellers unless they've got high ratings, and lots of buyers
Nice
That table is way better than a Crosley Set Up with 6 gram tracking force that ruins records if you don't change the stylus enough. Change your stylus a little bit before the recommendation that you should check on and make sure your tracking force is correct . Records are too expensive to ruin over a worn stylus/needle ..Two products you should try GruvGlide and Last StyLast from the LastFactory.com
you're adorable... good job with the set up
Thank you :)
that was long sorry .. heres the best ever. go to the Nearest GoodWill. they have stereo stuff for 12.00 usually. I got a full Denon - Yamaha reciever- 4cd player- Equalizer and dual cassette player for 52 dollars!.. Speakers you can get to. I bought a pair of JBL wall speakers for 12.00 you have a sub already. check into goodwill now and then they sell fast !.. Also the CDs are 1.50 and people are just giving them away unaware that they are Master copies !. Dont skimp on speakers and watch Craigs list to !.. good luck !
Thanks for the tips! :)
What's the story on that Prince art work ? That looks awesome!
Nice collection too.
Great question! That is art that my friend made me in high school for one of my birthdays. I love it so much!
Please don't take this the wrong way, to each their own and you seem to be enjoying your vinyl collection in a lot of ways which I am all for but... I really think you should think about a few upgrades that would make the experience SO SO SO SO much better.
First lets take a pragmatic view of why bother with vinyl in the first place....
1. The total experience, including the fact that it's really not convenient. This is a good thing in many ways and encourages a much deeper listen to not only songs you know but also discovering songs you would have never listened to on some streaming service, or play list, or shuffle mix or whatever.
2. The vinyl LP as object d'art including cover art, interior stuff, etc... history especially with pre-owned older records out of print. Even if not pristine there's a history of someone that loved this thing/music before you did. It's literally a piece of shared history culturally and personally with previous owners.
3. With most actual vintage LP's and a mixed-bag of repressing/rereleases you actually get a FAR BETTER mix/mastering treatment rather than the garbage we are subjected to with a hell of a lot of modern "remastered" and newer releases that have destroyed the dynamics of the music - quite literally due to the brick wall limiting / loud as possible made for low bit-rate streaming which completely obliterates digital "advantages" in dynamic range and low noise floor which is the only reason you'd want digital in the first place beyond convenience. I could give you examples but you'll be very hard pressed to hear them on that rig because it's literally ALL WRONG for enjoying what an LP/vinyl mix/master can do very well that is absent in a lot of digital re-masters and newer digital releases (not all but a lot, as in tons of 60's 70's 80's music has ben butchered in digital remasters... yep louder but awful. Those re-master/re-mixes even ended up on vinyl repressings that sound like crap)
Okay with respect to #3... unless you are an audio freak that knows what they are doing just about any small driver system + subwoofer is NOT a good way to hear music. In fact its the worst way. Take it from someone that does know what they are doing with audio reproduction on a large and small scale. Even with all the money in the world setting up a system that uses subwoofers at all and reproduces a balanced listening experience is very very difficult. What you really want is a pair of REALLY decent floor standing speakers with a minimum of 8" drivers. You don't need to spend a ton but even a moderately priced pair of typical floor standers with 1 or two 8" drivers + tweeters will knock your socks of with any relatively competent amp (I would go for a higher powered vintage amp with a phono pre-amp to start with... Honestly anything that was widely popular in the late 70's and early 80's will do that does 50 or so watts/channel... go with a mid-range to higher end consumer brand of any sort and you'll be good, as in blown away good. I could source the stuff on eBay used that would cost you just about nothing.
Lastly, the turn-table. It's okay but I personally would go with something that has no preamp built in, plug it into any decent 70's or 80's phono stage and spend $100 on a new lower end Grado/AT/Shure/Ortofon cartridge and you and your records will thank you.... Hell I have a Realistic LAB-400 with the original cartridge and a new stylus (elliptical Shure 8x) I got for free that will not only preserve my records way better (the thing tracks at 1g... even old bad condition records) but sounds just as good as a brand new $1000 Rega I have through the same phono amp/speakers,
Trust me... listen to them the way serious music lovers (with a little cash) listened to them in the 70's and 80's and you'll be very surprised. In fact what I had to spend TONS of money on speaker wise in the 80's can be had mass produced from JBL/Klipch/Etc for a song on amazon.
jus gotta say u r fit as !!!! hi from the uk
Hey just wondered where you got the cabinet from
Hey Jennifer! I actually DIY’ed that from a free cabinet my mom found on the curb! If you are interested in seeing the full video here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/Vgq5MSklwaA/w-d-xo.html
@@KileySmith thanks I’ll watch that later. It’s the best storage solution I’ve seen. Way better than those awful metal ones sold everywhere.
Yes they will last longer too! They should be super easy to find on for sale sites or maybe even the thrift store!

I dunno man, I think you could have held out for smaller speakers. 😆
But hey, they work and I like them! That’s all that matters :)
13:15 Um what? Have you even listened to the album?
yes actually, multiple times haha
I REFUSE to like wallows cause they're singed to antlantic...
I want to like this video but ur speakers are just omg. Please ask Santa for some
I like my speakers :)
My mom's sisters and brothers are fans of Prince and Michael Jackson
bestie please be careful with how you hold your records! don't put your hands or fingers on the record itself, only on the edges because you damage them and get dust/oil/dirt on them, making the sound worst and their lifetime shorter!
If you stick with collecting, you will run out of wall space very quickly...
Yeah she will . I've had to take my CD and dvd collection to binders. I've gone from 60s record storage solutions to a commercial grade bookshelves setup. I haven't even bought any records this year even.
