Record Albums: Just About The Size Of It

Most people today know of only two kinds of record albums: big ones with a little hole that play at 33rpm, and little ones with a big hole at 45rpm. Some remember "grandma's records," middle-sized records with a little hole, played at 78rpm. T...

Turning a Record Collection Into a Listening Experience

You can't imagine a book collector without envisioning them sitting in a leather wingback chair and a book in their lap. Classic car collectors are cruising down the highway in their restored Mustang, silk scarf around their neck and aviator s...

Records Everywhere!

If you think record albums are big, black, are made of plastic and only fit on a regulation-sized turntable, you're being a bit shortsighted.   Before tape and solid-state audio storage, if you wanted to record something, it was on a groove and ...

Portable Record Players of the Past Year

As a family, we're always on the lookout for used record players. Over the past five years, they've become rarer and rarer to find at thriftshops, rummage sales, and auctions. Especially the ones we prefer: the ones that also play 16rpm and 78r...

Groovy Grooves: Getting The Kids Hooked On Vintage Vinyl Records

Normally Derek and I listen to records in the evening when the kids are asleep, but as it was rather warm out and he and I were bored with movie night (we are those kind of parents who limit the number of hours the TV can be watched), we took a ch...

Symphonies and Gastroenterology : The Milpath Records

It's almost difficult to remember a time when information wasn't disseminated through the ultra-convenient format of streaming web media and thousands of specialized, niche TV channels and the dubious omnipresence of Wikipedia. So, I was a little ...

CED: Video on a Record Album

Up until a few years ago, I had no idea what these were. I'd seen them at rummage sales and thrift shops for quite a while: a record-album sized plastic cartridge, with a large movie label on the front. Being without a player, I never thought...

Red Raven Records

The array of deceptively simple technologies that have been incorporated into classic vinyl records reveals new things to me every day. Of course, there's my beloved voice-o-graph and its home-based version, the recordio disc, as well as the exper...

Play Your Records on the Numark PT-01

People always ask me, “Collin, can you send me back in time to meet Dustin Diamond's father so I can either warn him about his potential offspring or kick him so hard in the jewels that he'll forever be unable to conceive of the abomination know...
