What are you spinning your records on this weekend?

I'm running a Thorens TD-150 with upgraded wires and caps + a new headshell from Audiosilente that has the Ortofon 2M Blue mounted. This goes into a NAD PP4.

Sound is great, but the equipment is pretty basic as far as a turntable goes. I'd like one with auto-stop and perhaps a linear tonearm. Something like the Mitsubishi LT-5V would be cool to try out.

I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.

This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.

It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.

What was your first?

I am sure all of you are aware of Discogs and use it to document your record collections. I myself have a few hundred entries and have been using Discogs to procure some of that collection as well.

I've recently realized that the more time I spend on that site, the more money I spend.

I am not a completionist in any way, but having the collection listed in Discogs just makes it easy to put the missing records on my wishlist and buy it whenever I have some money over.

It's not a problem, but I don't think I would have spent that much otherwise...
