Hi everybody!
« on: April 05, 2014, 10:27:27 PM »
The name is Josh.  I'm new to the hobby (obsession?) of collecting vinyls and listening to them 24 hours a day.  I'm 25 and a student at Pitt.  Being that I am a noob I'm always open to suggestions about equipment, where to find vinyls, and any intricacies I should know but don't. Thanks guys!

Welcome Josh. For vinyl if you're at Pitt's main campus in Oakland you're not far from Jerry's Records in Squirrel Hill. I haven't been there in years as I don't do steps well and it's on second floor. Others here can give you more info about it. As far as Pitt, if you listen to music 24/7 your grades may not be stellar!

Hi Josh.   There are more "vinyls" here in Pittsburgh than you could ever want.   Gear, OTOH, is a bit tight.   I literally don't think there is anyone who carries a quality new table or even carts or accessories.

Why don't you give us an idea of where you are now in terms of gear and such?
