  • I mainly buy used albums, because I like older music. I have two record players, one Pro-Ject and 40 years old Beogram, both have a good sound. I also listen to CD’s, if I have to buy new music. CD’s are much cheaper than vinyls. Besides that, I have started to buy old C-cassettes that I play with an old Beocord player.

    Starting with vinyls is not as difficult as it sounds. Just pick up some reasonable priced player, used ones are usually great too. Just make sure the needle is in a good condition. The heavier the player is the better it usually is, tone arm’s shape is obsolete both are good, regardless if it’s a straight or S shaped.

    You also need amplifier and speakers. Many of newer ones don’t have build in RIAA connections, which you need with an older turntables, some newer models might have RIAA build in the player itself so you can plug them into any amplifier.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
