    I think your record is in here..... somewhere......

    Holy Crap!

    Holy Moly! The BIGGEST pile of vinyl records you’re ever going to see
    http://dangerousminds.net/comments/holy_moly_the_biggest_pile_of_vinyl_records_youre_ever_going_to_see
      What you’re looking at isn’t a hoarder’s home, but a neglected record warehouse photographed by Frédéric Thiphagne back in 2009. Thiphagne was sworn to secrecy as to the warehouse’s location in order to take these jaw-dropping shots. Unfortunately, the warehouse and its contents were destroyed two weeks after the photos were taken. Bummer. Thiphagne writes on his blog: “Those pictures, which are the only one existing from that place, should be seen as the illustration of that dream, of the biggest fantasy of every record digger.” Indeed. Why were all of these beautiful pop culture artifacts just destroyed?         See more amazing photographs at Thisphagne’s blog Les Mains Noires.

    ‘Hoarder House’: What a small home with over 250,000 records in it looks like

      Apollo Music purchased a small home a little over a year ago with at least 250,000 records inside of it. There’s no backstory on their website about the previous owner or what they plan to do with the home after all the vinyl has been removed. Probably just sell it, I guess? Apparently these photos were taken partway through the clean-out (when Apollo first got there they couldn’t even enter the doorways). It took over 6 months to remove and pack all the vinyl from the home. I can only imagine the floors in the home must be warped from the weight of all those records! You can see more photos at Apollo.         Via KMFW

      Whaaaa? And then they just destroyed the warehouse instead of letting us come in a "clean up" for them?

      Some funny comments on those.

                              ... and it IS a wonderful walk-in closet! Just not for useless junk like clothes.

                                  Record Cleaner Usage Tips?
                                  by David Meek
                                  I recently acquired a Nitty Gritty 1.5FI record cleaner.



                                  Do any of you use the Nitty Gritty's? If so, have you picked up any helpful hints about their use?

                                  One of the things I've come across in my readings is a suggestion to manually pre-clean an album BEFORE                                  ...

                                  Who knows record values?
                                  by Bob
                                  I'm hoping someone here can help me determine the value of a record I found yesterday. I was helping out my mom by cleaning out her garage and found a box of records I must have left there almost 40 years ago and forgot. Fortunately I had the forsight to at least tape the box and wrap it in plastic...

                                  I picked up my RSP-1066 / RMB-1075 combo yesterday afternoon and started hooking everything up. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet because I finished hooking up all of the components (and one speaker channel) in the middle of the night. In any case, here are a few comments thus far:

                                  Rotel Warehouse problems - Older equipment being sent out.
                                  by ProStereo
                                  What is up with Rotel? We are getting older production models
                                  in, that are much older serial numbers and production run.
                                  The RC-1090 is even older with older remote RR-969, with the
                                  well known buzz transformer problem in these earlier
                                  production run.
